“…Partly in reaction and response to such concerns, the alternative rhetoric of sustainability has increasingly surfaced in the ethnomusicological space in the last five to ten years (e.g. Titon, 2009;Bendrups, Barney and Grant, 2013;Bendrups and Schippers, 2015;Schippers and Grant, 2016, as well as being featured thematically in several international conferences and symposia). Some scholars argue that this is helping shift the music-related discourse from safeguarding to stewardship (Titon 2009).…”

Efforts to revitalize languages are situated within the wider context of efforts to maintain and revitalize intangible expressions of culture more broadly, from music to dance to ritual and ceremonial traditions. In some ways, language revitalization efforts are considerably further advanced in both theory and practice than those relating to other cultural expressions. Taking music as a example, this chapter draws together the scholarly field of language revitalization with the growing investigations into music sustainability, making the case for close collaboration between sociolinguists and applied ethnomusicologists on these issues. It argues three main reasons: first, that collaboration will help consolidate a common language to describe and discuss the issues; second, that it will advance theoretical frameworks and tools to support our combined efforts; and third, it will strengthen advocacy around the need for revitalisation efforts, in the community, scholarly, and public spheres. From its beginnings in the late 19 th century until the mid-20 th century, the discipline of ethnomusicology (or, as it was then called, 'comparative musicology') placed key importance on capturing the sounds of 'dying' cultures before they disappeared. In this pursuit, it was informed and influenced by research activity and interest in other disciplines, including sociolinguistics and anthropology. But from around mid-century, the attitudes of music researchers toward issues of musical loss and change began to shift considerably. By the early 1990s, music preservation interests had fallen out of favor, with many ethnomusicologists holding view that 'salvage' or 'white knight' efforts to 'save' dying music genres were overly romanticized, neo-colonial and paternalistic. By comparison, this was around the time when, in an extended article in the journal Language, Ken Hale and his colleagues "attempt to represent as forcefully as we can. .. the reality of language loss and decline as a condition of the modern world" (Hale et al, 1992, p. 2), and to argue for the relevance of linguistics and linguists in responding and This is an author-produced PDF of an invited contribution to the Handbook of Language Revitalization, copyright Routledge.

“…Debate over the relationship between music and nature has increased since the emergent of the new concept called "ecomusicology" which was dated back to the nineteenth century (Bendrups et al, 2013;Snyder, 2019). In the contemporary society, the current global discourses on diversity and ecology has been amplified by introducing sustainability concept into the ongoing discussion (A.…”

This study examined the socioecological roles of music sounds towards achieving acoustically sustainable residential building. The study adopted a survey research approach where questionnaires were distributed to the occupants of different types of residential buildings in three urban cities of Anambra State Nigeria. The survey data were analysed using Statistical Package for the Social Science (SPSS) Software. The results revealed that music plays significant roles towards acoustically sustainable building performance with the overall average mean score index of 4.36 and a range of 3.64 to 4.87. But the three most outstanding roles played by music towards acoustically sustainable building performance were: Enabling pleasant sound environment (4.87), improving quality of relaxation and resting (4.83), and increasing acoustic comfort and satisfaction (4.79). The result of one-way ANOVA revealed that music sounds significantly influence acoustical sustainability performance of residential buildings (p-value (.000) < α (0.05); F-ratio (148.377) > F-critical (3.020)); and that there was no significance difference between opinions of residents of the three urban cities in this regard (p-value (0.713) > α (0.05); F-ratio (0.338) < F-critical (3.020)). This study therefore, canvassed for integration of music principles and acoustics into sustainable building design processes as a way of achieving a sustainable building.

In this chapter, which celebrates Stephen Wild's contribution to our field, we take the opportunity to reflect anew on Wild's invocation of identity, focusing on two broad questions: where did trans-Tasman ethnomusicology come from, and where is it now located?…”
