AB - Objectives: This study investigates how the authority over music creation has historically been shaped not by a linear evolution of musical styles or composers, but through power struggles among competing societal forces. It aims to redefine music creation as a space of hegemonic negotiation rather than as a purely artistic or individual endeavor. Methods: A qualitative literature review and historical analysis were conducted to trace the sociopolitical forces that have influenced the dominant agents in music creation. The study identifies five key historical phases—Church vs. Court, Monarchy vs. Aristocracy, State vs. Bourgeoisie, Capital vs. Artist, and Human vs. AI—to examine the shifting dynamics of creative power. Results: The analysis reveals that music creation has consistently reflected broader sociopolitical tensions, with authority over musical production shifting according to the dominant power structure of each era. From religious institutions and monarchies to modern capitalism and artificial intelligence, each force has contributed to redefining the locus of creative control. Conclusions: The study concludes that the future of music creation will likely not be determined by technological sophistication alone. Instead, cultural distinction, aesthetic identity, and symbolic influence are emerging as the new criteria for creative hegemony, suggesting that culture itself may become the dominant force in the next phase of musical power.
