Call for Chapters expression of interest: COMMUNITY MUSIC – MUSICAL ECOLOGIES IN ACTION Community music globally reflects the growing and diverse ways humans collectivise and express themselves, articulating cultural, social and environmental complexity. Revisiting, redevising and reimagining approaches, ideologies, and contexts, this co-edited volume investigates beyond generalist intercultural and internationalist concepts to reveal the complexity of social ways people come together to make music. It touches how various instrumentally based music-making communities operate as ecologies, allowing notions of social, political and cultural agency and identity/ies. It explores various instrumental community music ensembles (CMEs), observing how they as social microcosms of change and stasis provide working methods new and old, extol values and model ethical behaviors that are fluid and dynamic, steadfast and unyielding and that contribute to the ebb and flow of people and their agency that remains under-researched. We provide snapshots of variously functioning ensembles and explore how myriad instrumental CMEs act as drivers, complex environments and apparati for musical and social expression. We explore community music as local, glocal, global phenomena, critically discussing the redefining of community music and what music-making means to people in the twenty-first century.
