Abstract

Nigerian art music has stood out as a veritable genre with which the norms, culture, religion, sociocultural and educational value systems are promoted globally. Investigations have shown that different scholarly studies and music performances in other genres have been used to portray these value systems. These values and learned in both formal and non-formal learning education. The philosophical context of moral educative values be seen and understood within the musicality framework of Nigerian art music. Therefore, this study examines the contextual philosophical text via the creative musical continuum used by David Bolaji to reveal the moral educative values in his selected compositions. The study hinges on the theory of critical discourse analysis presented by Fairclough [1]. The referenced compositional works include Orisa (gods) and Amebo (gossip). Findings show that the study, not Bolaji explores philosophical texts as an educative lens to educate and inculcate virtues in students. The study frowns upon uncultured behaviour among students in society. Finally, the study serves as a paradigm for composers to pattern different philosophical compositions to promote educative moral values.
