It has been thought and said that Africans are born with musical talent. Because music is so important in the lives of many Africans and because so much music is performed in Africa, we are inclined to think that all Africans are musicians. The impression is strengthened when we look at ourselves and find that we have become largely a society of musical spectators. Music is important to us, but most of us can be considered consumers rather than producers of music. We have records, televisions, concerts, and radios to fulfill many of our musical needs. In most situations where music is performed in our culture it is not difficult to distinguish the audience from the performers, but such is often not the case in Africa. Alban Ayipaga, a Kasena semiprofessional (半职业性的) musician from northern Ghana, says that when his flute (长笛) and drum ensemble (合奏组) is performing, "Anybody can take part." This is true, but Dasena musicians recognize that not all people are equally capable of taking part in the music. Some can sing along with the drummers, but relatively few can drum and even fewer can play the flute along with the ensemble. It is fairly common in Africa for there to be an ensemble of expert musicians surrounded by others who join in by clapping, singing, or somehow adding to the totality (全部) of musical sound. Performances often take place in an open area (that is, not on a stage) and so the lines between the performing nucleus and the additional performers, active spectators, and passive spectators may be difficult to draw from our point of view.
The best title for this passage would be______.
选项
A、The Importance of Music to African People
B、Differences Between African Music and Music of Other Countries
C、The Relationship Between Musicians and Their Audience
D、A Characteristic Feature of African Musical Performances
答案
D
解析
A项陈述的事实是正确的,但文章的主要内容并非是音乐对非洲人之重要性。B项和C项在文章中提到过,但并非是中心思想,故应排除。因此,D项是正确答案。
