dc.description.abstractThe use of music in play productions is a regular feature employed by directors to serve different purposes. These purposes, which can be musical or non-musical, tend to define to a great extent the approaches employed by the directors in the execution of their intentions. This paper, relying on participant observation and analytical methods, discusses the purposes and approaches of Abdulrasheed Adeoye to the use of music in his written and directed plays. The paper identifies the five dominant purposes which we have captured as contextualization, characterization, pulsation, demonstration and disposition and the five of Adeoye’s approaches to the use of music described as collaboration, adaptation, composition, interaction and instrumentation. In pursuit of his Neo-alienation style, which cannot be separated from the total theatrical concepts rooted in the African festival theatre, Adeoye in collaboration with other experts in music, dance and drama have succeeded in fussing music to heighten the meaning relevant to play/production context, establish his characters and regulate the pace of his performances through the use of music. The alignment of the approaches with the purposes, has greatly contributed to the effectiveness of the music in his dramatic endeavors, thereby enhancing their success. It is our conclusion in this paper that Abdurasheed Adeoye, as a playwright and artistic director, has effectively utilized the medium of music as a tool of driving his dynamic dramatic intentions.en_US
