Extending the inquiry of his early groundbreaking books, Christopher Small strikes
at the heart of traditional studies of Western music by asserting that music is not
a thing, but rather an activity. This new work outlines a theory of what Small terms
"musicking," a verb that encompasses all musical activity from composing to performing
to listening to a Walkman to singing in the shower. Using Gregory Bateson's philosophy
of mind and a Geertzian thick description of a typical concert in a typical symphony
hall, Small demonstrates how musicking forms a ritual through which all the participants
explore and celebrate the relationships that constitute their social identity. This
trip through the concert hall will have readers rethinking every aspect of their musical
worlds
