Question 3

We propose a music-culture model that is grounded in music as it is performed.
Place yourself at a music event that moved you. At the center of the event is your experience of the music, sung and played by performers.

Review the two diagrams, Figure 1-6, Elements of a musical performance, and Figure 1-7, A music-culture model. Note how the concentric circles in the two diagrams parallel each other. For example, the center of Fig. 1-6, the music, that is, the musical event itself, is parallel to the center of Fig. 1-7, the affective experience (musics power to move). Explain how the ideas in the other three concentric circles of the two figures are related and parallel to each other.
