emotion that is aroused is not the reason for the musicking. It’s the sign that the musicking is doing its job. I don’t remember ever being made sad by a sad piece or happy by a happy one.
I would like to agree with this point, but only if I understand it correctly. I believe what he is saying, if I understand correctly, is that music is not the cause of emotion, but evoking an emotion derived from out memories.

that a musical performance is a ritual whose relationships mirror, and allow us to explore, the relationships of our world as we imagine them ideally to be.
While the author has expressed that there is more to music and it's performance than just the music itself, here is a very powerful statement that is taken for granted. We believe this statement to be true, but the way in which we describe music at the present time doesn't reach or even begin to describe music's true power and our interaction with it.
