Speaking of what is common in music, what is communal, what we have in common, what we can share, is only apparently simple. It would indeed be simple if we turned to ideas that the field of sociology of music has sometimes established and even unwittingly turned into clichés after so much use. Then, it would be sufficient to refer to the role of music in arcane ritualism, to its function in ancient liturgies, or to its presence, in the modern world, as an element of cohesion and dispersal.
