No, it wasn't blindingly obvious. I suppose it's possible that this is what Amodio means by co-creation. The problem here would be, there's no way of knowing whether the audiences participated in this way. He's talking about medieval England, and as far as I know we don't have any records of *how* people listened. Milman Parry's research in 1930s Yugoslavia would indicate (to me, at least) that once the poet started singing, he continued singing until he was done. D’oh! No, it wasn’t blindingly obvious.
