It has long been accepted that participating in music, either as a
performer, listener, or composer, can contribute to human happiness
and well-being. This volume, part of The Humanities and Human
Flourishing series, explores a fourth musical activity—the act of
music scholarship—and reveals how engagement with the cultural,
social, and political practices surrounding music contributes to
human flourishing in a way that listening, performing, and even
composing alone cannot. Music and Human Flourishing contains essays
by eleven prominent scholars representing the fields of musicology,
ethnomusicology, and music theory. The essays are divided into
three general categories and cover a broad range of topics and
music traditions. In Part I, Contemplation, contributors explore a
specific facet of music's connection to human flourishing and
contemplate new approaches for future action. Part II, Critique,
contains essays that challenge past assumptions of the various
roles of music in society and highlight the effects that
unconscious bias and stereotyping have had on music's effectiveness
to facilitate human flourishing. Part III, Communication, features
essays that explore how ethnicity, gender, religion, and technology
influence our ability to connect with others through music.
Collectively, these essays demonstrate how the process of thinking
and writing about music and human flourishing can lead to
revelations about cultural identity, social rituals, political
ideologies, and even spiritual transcendence.
