| contents | Crickets in the Concert Hall: A History of Animals in Western Music Emily Doolittle Arte bird songs work songs anthropology animal songs Zoomusicology Animal song appears in human music from a wide variety of time periods and cultures, butthe way it is used varies enormously. In cultures where people interact intensively with thenatural world, music is often used to communicate with non-human animals, whether forpractical, spiritual, playful or other purposes. Music often serves to bridge the gap betweenhumans and non-humans. In urban cultures, including those which nurtured the developmentof Western classical music, animal songs are more often used either symbolically or assources of raw sound material to be transformed into "music" by the human composer.Communication with animals is seldom the goal, and animals are kept strictly as "other."However, recent discoveries of shared attributes between humans and other species (sign)language use in chimpanzees and self-awareness in dolphins, for example have beenaccompanied by a new willingness on the part of composers to accord animal songs intrinsicvalue. A number of recent composers have written pieces in which animal songs are givenequal footing with their own music. Yet direct interaction with animals remains rare in themodern urban context: we are now willing to recognize the aesthetic work of animal songs,but not to engage in musical exchange with the animals themselves. 2008 artículo científico 1697-0101 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=82201209 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=822 Trans.
