ABSTRACT: The competition described in this paper "Musiques
sans frontieres", was open to amateur musicians of all
nationalities and idioms in Belgium. Because music is a
universal language, it was hoped that the competition would
help promote an intercultural process whereby the
interdependence of multicultural groups is recognized. The
main objectives were: (1) to reveal to a wide public
audience the diversity and richness of Belgium's musical
heritage embellished by the contribution of various
immigrant communities; (2) to elicit, stimulate, and
further the musical expression and creativity inspired by
this heritage; (3) to bring together musicians from
different branches and backgrounds and, by a fusion of
compatible elements, to arrive at new and original musical
creations; and (4) to further good amateur musicians. A
discussion of the procedures used for the competition is
followed by a description of the finalists. The positive
reaction of the media to the competition and some follow-up
activities (recordings, concerts, directories) are
discussed. Five appendices present the rules of the
competition, lists of the semi-finalists and finalists from
the three competitions (plus their nationalities and types
of music), and the jury for the final competition held in
June 1988. (JB)
