IB's Definition of Musical Culture
For the purposes of investigating musical links the definition of a distinct musical culture is as follows.
*Musical culture refers to a learned way of making and using music, which is shared by a group of people, and is usually passed down from generation to generation. Music plays different roles within a culture (for example, entertainment, ceremony, work).
A single musical culture may spread widely across time and place, and many creative changes can be found within a single musical culture while maintaining its essence (this is known as musical style). For example, the difference between ska and reggae is a creative change within a single musical culture (music of the Caribbean), hence two musical styles within a single musical culture. Similarly swing and be-bop styles (jazz) are part of a single distinct musical culture, as are renaissance and romantic (western art/classical music).
Musical culture is not necessarily defined by time or by geography. Palestrina from the 16th century and Schoenberg from the 20th century, Villa-Lobos from Brazil and Penderecki from Poland are all composers of western art/classical music, and therefore part of the same musical culture.
The same geographical region does not necessarily imply the same musical culture. For example, western-style pop music created in Japan and kabuki music, also from Japan, are not part of the same musical culture.
On the other hand, musical style refers to particular characteristic musical features such as melodic structure, form, improvisation, harmony, articulation, duration, which are common to a set of musical pieces.
