| Abstract | Most musicologists have recognized that music is defined through the communication by sounds that any human being listens to and gives consciously as a music. However, this kind of discourse often tur...ns into a tautology. The purpose of this article is to get some key to release this tautology. It is often discussed that high brain level, organs for hearing as well as voluntary respiration and articulation, developed language, and society in almost the same level as humans are necessary for the precondition of the comparison between music and animal vocal communication. Especially, the current belief that language is difficult to substantiate in animals except for humans has prevented us from this comparative study. However, irrespective of any position in the animal phylogenetic tree, the behavior and aim of giving voice, the process of sound propagation and perception, and response to it are to be found in every animal vocal communication. Both music and language have been supposed to originate from this behavior and process. The difference between music and language is that the distinction between a form and its meaning cannot be clarified in regard to music though it can in regard to language. Therefore the aim and behavior of voice expression, the mechanism of articulation and hearing, and the organization of voice in animal communication should be associated not only with language but music. In this perspective, the preceding studies on the vocal communication of monkey (spider monkey, vervet monkey, Gibbon, chimpanzee), humpback whale, Bengalee were discussed. As a result, the prerequisite conditions of music through the discussion of animal vocal communication are provided to be (1) orientation towards repetition and imitation of sounds, (2) self aimed organization and complication of sounds, and (3) auditory feedback of giving sounds. We hope to extend this study to the discussion of the methodology of ethnomusicology and music aesthetics. ヒトの音楽と動物の音声コミュニケーションとの境界的なカテゴリーをどのように考えていくべきか問題提起する。ヒトの音楽の条件について動物の音声コミュニケーションの検討をとおして再検討し、また、音楽研究の側から動物の音声コミュニケーションを位置づける。show more |
