Storytelling and Song, Tuesday
"Perhaps I have been remiss in explaining why it is we write songs," Jaskier said, gesturing broadly with both hands, fingers splayed out like ye olde jazz hands. "There are many reasons why a song is crafted. There is the obvious one that is entertainment for the masses and the subject of this class to convert history to record without needing to depend on books."
Which could be a rare commodity outside of the homes of the wealthy or the halls of universities.
"There is also music meant to help pass the time for a profession. Such as fishermen! Whilst stuck on the sea, songs can help keep a man from going mad. They also can bind a group together, something soldiers or, well, bandits may do. Though the difference between the two groups is remarkably slim these days..."
Jaskier paused, mouth turned down into a little moue of concentration before he shook that off. "So, let us discuss what other reasons we may have for music, shall we?"
