Chronicles of Manually Generated Music: Paradigmatic Shift from Ancient Sacred Musicianship to the Western Civilization Secular Musicality
Abstract
Music is an important accoutrement of socialization from time immemorial. Music, ancient or modern, is also a feature of the moral bedrock of every society. This paper scrutinizes the dynamics of music-making and its gradual transition from the manual to its contemporary electronics-driven underpinnings. The scope covers what has been musically obtained in the ancient sacred musicianship vis-à-vis the current secular music situation in the West. The research derives its primary thrust from the researchers’ musicological knowledge and acquired through interaction with clergy during Pilgrimage to Jerusalem, biblical references as well as Christian academic literature, and extant academic literature. This paper chronicles the influence of technology in the evolution of music over time, its influence on emotion and value system.
