- This special issue was produced by invitation of the journal following the conclusion of the six-year AHRC-funded project, the Listening Experience Database (LED), a collaboration between the Open University and the Royal College of Music. This statement explains why the jointly written editorial introduction to the journal is combined with Prof. Herbert’s individual article (DOI 10.1017/S1479409819000594) as a single output. The LED project had three aims: 1) to define a species of evidence that authentically testifies to the impact of music on individuals and groups in the past; 2) to create a multi-functional database containing a mass of such sources; 3) to provide exemplar products (such as publications) that reveal and test the value of such sources. The Introductory essay is devoted to the first two objectives and addresses them by examining a series of source examples, laying out the critical framework for what followed in the subsequent articles. However, it goes much further than introducing the volume in that it sets out and exemplifies what is a new methodology. For example, it explains the difference between reception theory and the type of work undertaken by the LED group. Herbert’s own article provides an exemplar essay that reveals and tests the value of a particular group of sources in respect of the idea of patriotism (aim 3). The two contributions are entirely complementary.
