Music and Image in Concert In Music and Image in Concert composer, graphic designer and writer Meghan Stevens explores the implications to music when images are presented in orchestral concerts. The presence of images in the classical concert provide a visual aspect that has been lost since the late nineteenth century due to large concert halls. But how do artistic directors ensure that listeners aren’t more engaged by the images than the music? Stevens presents a number of theories that aim to maintain musical salience over added image in the instrumental music concert. This is to avoid the situation that occurs in film where the music is backgrounded and often not heard or not remembered. These theories cover a range of music-image characteristics including narrative, synchronisation, rhythm, tempo, meaning, emotion, structure, genre, integration, voice and text. As there is little research in this new field, these original theories draw on research and theories from a number of other disciplines including music-video, film, multimedia, cognitive psychology, psychomusicology, education and music philosophy.
