Saving Cultural Heritage: Music
Music is an integral part of our social environment, but its form, meaning and context has changed greatly over time. The intangible nature of music and its associated traditions makes it fragile and under threat. Once something of this nature is lost from the living tradition, it is hard to regain its original authenticity. This talk will look at the survival of music as a form of intangible cultural heritage. It will use first hand evidence gained from research in Sweden and how elements of their music has almost been lost, and how it has been saved. This will then enable a reflection on our own musical traditions and the importance of maintaining them as part of our heritage and cultural development.
