Abstract

The act of musical performance reveals the musicians' emotions and aesthetic experience in the most intense moment of the music-making process. In polyphonic music practices, this occurs by coordinating individual ways of making music in a group. In the course of this process, social relations also take place. The book presents the research of ethnomusicologists from this perspective in the interdisciplinary discourse of the subject. Fulvia Caruso contribution discusses issues about migrants in resettlement situations enacting the music culture they have grown up with, especially in terms of its link with memory, affections, religious rites, and as a place to express the rights to perform their beliefs in their new environment in the town of Cremona, Italy. To articulate her reflections the author presents two of the several religious situations she is documenting and analysing: the pentecostal Church of Bethel and the catholic Chorale de Saint Michel Archange. Both composed mostly by Ivorians, their religous emotional and esthetic experiences diverge because of the space they are enabled to create. This is demonstrated throug the analysis of two celebrations of the two rites, in particular observing theobject of repetition.
