“…I utledningen av ytringskulturbegrepet knytter utvalget an til diskurser som har vaert toneangivende også på det musikkpedagogiske forskningsfeltet i nyere tid: musikk og kunst er aktiv ytring og meningsskapende praksis, forankret i menneskers vurderinger av ekspressiv kvalitet og nytte (DeNora, 2000;Frith, 1996;Small, 1998). Det gjelder opera så vel som rock og dansemusikk, og på tvers av alle former for utøving og bruk, inkludert musikkutdanning.…”

“…Jazz festivals have the ability to transform a town or city once a year as the interactions of the jazz festival -the musicians, the people -allow 'musicking' (Small 1998) as a ritual that reflects the ideas of 'ought-to-be-relationships in the world' for its participants (Dvinge 2015: 195) Indeed, many of the studies of motivation in the event management and tourism studies literature found that major motivations for festival attendance in general were socialization and family togetherness (regarding jazz festivals in particular, see Saleh and Ryan 1993;Formica and Uysal 1996;Thrane 2002;Taylor and Slabbert 2012;Pitts and Burland 2013;Wiliams and Saayman 2013;Kemp and White 2013;and Calder, Isaac and Malthouse 2013.). 6 However, the potential for socialization depends on the venue and the place: larger festivals, for instance, often lack opportunities for socialization because of their size and spread.…”

Festivals are an essential part of the jazz world, forming regularly occurring pivot points around which jazz musicians, audiences, and organizers plan their lives.Funded by the UK's Arts and Humanities Research Council, the purpose of this report is to chart and critically examine available writing about the impact of jazz festivals, drawing on both academic and 'grey'/cultural policy literature in the field.The review presents research findings under the headings of economic impact; socio-political impact; temporal impact and intensification and transformation of experience; creative impact -music and musicians; discovery and audience development; place-making; the mediation of jazz festivals; and environmental impact. It concludes with a set of recommendations for future research, which identifies gaps in the field. To accompany the article, a 100-entry 40,000 word annotated bibliography has also been produced, which is freely accessible online.

“…Music is perceived as a rather fixed object of study. Following Small (1998) and Roy and Dowd (2010), we perceive (the experience of) live music as an activity not as an object, an activity laden with emotions and concrete individual and collective meaning going beyond traditional disciplinary boundaries. Therefore, we need to review the look at emotions and meaning resulting from the music experience.…”

“…For Christopher Small (1998), relationships are the key to understand the meaning of a musical activity. 1 In the context of this research I treat relationships as dynamic necessarily reciprocal elements building here on Georg Simmel's "Wechselwirkung" -which David Frisby translates as "reciprocal actions and effects" (Cantó Milà, 2005) -and Pyyhtinen, who applied Simmel's concept in a context that allows us to use it for the analysis of a live music situation, "Wechselwirkung is not only inter-action but the inter-play of activity and passivity in which every cause may become an effect and every effect a cause" (2009, p. 193).…”

Live music is a social and artistic activity where all its participants establish a set of relationships in real time, mediated by different musical, social, psychological and environmental factors. The aim of this research is to study the relationships between audiences and musicians and their influence in the processes that lead to the generation of emotions and the creation of meaning. By taking a transdisciplinary view, I am trying to bridge some of the divides that frequently appear in music research (object-activity, aestheticsocial, etc.) and so I want to go beyond common artificial investigations about emotions and meaning in music by reflecting on the complex nature of real music experiences.The methodological approach is mainly qualitative -based on observations, and interviews; however, some quantitative data from a survey have also been taken into account. The research has been carried out as a case study that had the concerts of El Teatre Instrumental, an orchestra that specialises in the repertoire of the classical period, as its object. Keywordslive music, relationships, emotional content, musical meaning, musicking Una nova aproximació a les relacions en la música en viu: redefinint el contingut emocional i el significat (objecte-activitat, estètic-social, etc.) Resum La música en viu és una activitat social i artística en què tots els que hi participen estableixen un conjunt de relacions en temps real, mediatitzades per diferents factors musicals, socials, psicològics i de l'entorn. L'objectiu d'aquesta investigació és estudiar les relacions entre el públic i els músics, així com la influència que aquestes relacions tenen en els processos que porten a la generació d'emocions i a la creació de significat. Adoptant un punt de vista transdisciplinari, intento estendre un pont entre algunes de les divisions que sovint apareixen en la recerca musical Paraules clau música en viu, relacions, contingut emocional, significat musical, musickingThe Humanities in the Digital Age
