Abstract
This paper investigates the performance contexts of selected Yoruba traditional musical forms and identified hidden and neglected cultural facts about the design and organization of their musical forms. The form which a Yoruba song performance takes is determined by the structure of the social ceremony and therefore, the actual form of a song depends on the particular context from which it is derived. Through music, the Yoruba people express their world views, philosophies, and show reverence to their various deities. Against this background, this study traces the performance contexts as factors that determine the forms of Yoruba festival song forms. Descriptive textual and structural analysis of data revealed the significant and objectives of the study. The implication of the findings for policy and practice were also discussed. The included among others that the contextual and structural analysis should be adopted and form the basis of theories and forms in Nigerian art musical compositions and analysis. The study concluded that performance contexts are the determinant factor of musical forms therefore brings to lime light one of the yardstick of theoretical analysis of Yoruba musicological studies.
