Ziegenmeyer, A. and Devaney, K. (2023) Chapter interlude I: what is composing? In: The Routledge Companion to Teaching Music Composition in Schools: International Perspectives. Routledge Music Companions . Routledge, Abingdon. ISBN 9781032026268 (hardback) 9781003184317 (e-book)

Abstract

This interlude looks at the many aspects and questions that arise when defining “composing” in music education. It also uncovers hidden influences in historical and cultural baggage coming from the central discourses and definitions of composing in Western music history. Finally, it shows how the meaning of the word “composing” has undergone change around the world – from being viewed as an elitist act to something that is more inclusive and can be undertaken by all young people.
