| description | This article looks at the role played by mental images in the performance and hearing of the ritual music of the Kuikuro of Upper-Xingu, Brazil. The instrumental music of the Kagutu sacred flutes is considered to be the itseke’s voice. These non-human entities make their name heard through the sound of the flute, thereby revealing themselves to the audience in the shape of melodic fragment. In order to memorise the complex musical structures of the suites these sacred flutes play, the musicians use mnemotechnic means that imply a visualisation process which also guides ritual performances. The images thereby visualised refer to the internal structure of the music piece as well as to the succession of suites during the Kagutu ritual. |
