“…Folk music is an important heritage for every nation or ethnic group (Folkestad, 2002;Merriam, 1964;Pegg, 2001;Revill, 2004;Shepherd & Wicke, 1997;To, 2007;Woma, 2012).

“…Every folk music tradition has outstanding artists within the community who contribute to the creation, practice, and preservation of the music across generations. Shepherd and Wicke (1997) along with others, have tackled the challenge of comprehending music as a form of human expression. They argue that music is the foundation of social life.…”

The Ta Oi people in Thua Thien-Hue province continue to preserve and promote numerous unique indigenous music genres. However, these invaluable cultural heritages are at risk of vanishing from their cultural life in the future if there is no comprehensive and scientifically backed protection policy in place. My first-hand fieldwork and surveys have demonstrated that folk music is integral to the Ta Oi people’s way of life, being practiced at every stage of their lives, in significant cultural events within the community, and during religious rituals. Music serves as a distinct language, fostering connections among individuals, between people, and between people and spirits within specific cultural spaces, thereby forming a remarkably distinctive cultural mosaic among the Ta Oi people. Utilizing qualitative research methods, this study focuses on conducting in-depth interviews with skilled local artisans and participating in folk music performances within the Ta Oi community. The findings of the study reveal that significant community events play a crucial role in the practice, preservation, and maintenance of the Ta Oi people’s traditional musical culture. The study asserts that preserving folk music within the cultural life of the community serves as the most effective approach to safeguarding the indigenous folk art of each distinct community. This progression would enable the maintenance of the musical heritage of each ethnic group within contemporary society. Such endeavors necessitate support from the government, researchers, and local authorities.

“…4 Since the 1980s, Peter Wicke has been engaged there in critical research on popular music predominantly from a sociological perspective. One of Wicke"s merits for popular music research in Germany is the early reception of British and American cultural studies and cultural theory culminating in collaboration with authors such as John Shepherd (Shepherd/Wicke 1997). After the fall of the inner German borderline in 1989, a Chair of Popular Music History and Theory was initiated as part of the Institute for Musicology at Humboldt University.…”

Following the foundation of IASPM in 1981, the German ASPM (Arbeitskreis Studium Populäre Musik e.V.) was established in 1984. Although there is a free dialogue with IASPM, the organizations operate independently. In Germany, Austria and Switzerland, a variety of courses are offered in popular music studies, although often by young tutors, many of whom are doctoral students, which means that the field still has some way to go to become firmly established in the academic world. In addition, German-speaking academic communities read English-language publications but few publish their research papers in English, in international journals. Nevertheless, there is no big gap between the issues of popular music research in Germany and in the predominant Anglo-American academic discourses, due to central themes concerning popular music that bridge the frontiers of nation-states and national culture, such as globalisation, world music, or performance and media studies.

“…These awarenesses remain with individuals throughout time and may emerge at any time. Support for this stance is found throughout many theoretical perspectives, including palliative care (17,18), medical anthropology (19), cultural theory (20), and ethnomusicology (21,22).…”

“…• patients may wish to appease caring staff associated with music therapy (35) to whom they feel indebted (34,36), and fear that any critical response may be discovered and disapproved of (37) • respondent self-selection for participation in the study (23) • cancer patients may "think positively" because of pop culture's implication that positive talk stifles cancer progression • patients may "ventriloquize" other people's views or use conversational idioms rather than think about their own (38) Theoretical views about the significance of music in human life, however, substantiate the pervasive therapeutic depictions of the music therapy program (15,(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(39)(40)(41)(42)(43). Furthermore, the difficulties inherent in using words to encapsulate what music is and its significance in human life (40,(44)(45)(46) could have resulted in a "minimal response bias"-brief or incomplete responsesbecause respondents simply could not find the words to describe their experience fully.…”

A music therapy research study aimed at understanding patients’, visitors’ and staff members’ experiences of a music therapy program in a cancer hospital over a three-month period is described. Respondents’ answers to brief open-ended questions, as well as the music therapist researcher's interpretations of the program's relevance, were examined using thematic analysis based on grounded theory. ATLAS.ti software supported data management and analysis. Themes encapsulating 128 patients’ reflections about music therapy were delineated and substantiate how music therapy can support palliative care aims throughout the cancer illness trajectory.
