Music (sage field)

Music is a sage field available to bards, involving the creation and performance of music within the cultural and social context, as an important part of many people’s way of life, regardless of their particular skill.

The field includes the following sage studies:

• Folk Music (sage study): the traditions, customs and superstitions of the uncultured classes, or music for the people as a whole, defined by ethnic and historical identity. A form that is easily accessible to those who have very little musical skill.

• Martial Music (sage study): a form of music intended for military settings, with bugle calls, fanfares, drum cadences and composed to so that it may be taught by ear, for the inspiration of pomp and warfare.

• Opera (sage study): a form of musical theatre, in which the story is told entirely through music, with aspects supported by political, religious and moral themes.

• Religious Music (sage study): music performed or composed for religious use or through religious influence; describes music that is performed or composed for ritual, or to raise the religious consciousness to beautify the gods.
