Nevertheless, I shall make an attempt to produce a meaningful discussion of their overall character and contents, while pointing out details worthy of note. Let us first examine the publications from the perspective of the stated intention of the series. In his "Preface" to each volume of the series, editor Stanley Sadie explains the intention [of the Music and Society series] is to view musical history not as a series of developments in some hermetic world of its own but rather as a series of responses to social, economic and political circumstances and to religious and intellectual stimuli. We want to explain not simply what happened, but why it happened, and why it happened when and where it did (I and Ð, p. ix). However, the reader should not expect here a study of "society in music," in other words, a sociology of music in the sense of John Shepherd's Music as Social Text, for which "the question no longer remains that of how to understand music and individuals in terms of society ..., [but rather] how to understand societies and individuals in terms of music."9 Music sociologists Shepherd and Simon Frith, among others, eschew the traditional assumptions and working methods of musicology in interrogating social practices and meanings in music.

This tradition, which we may designate as "music in society," heavily relies upon contemporary sources to sketch out a detailed documentary history of music in light of its socio-political, economic, and intellectual contexts. …
