Summary:

"Singing, song and sound are human acts of personal and cultural agency enacted musically, where the idea of 'performance' is a central component. Here, 'singing' refers to the act of performance which due to its interactive nature in real time constitutes the essential moment of music-making, particularly in multipart music traditions; 'song' and its emergence remain both object and subject of the act of creation. 'Sound' is an indispensable part of all these processes."-- Back cover.
