While grief is suffered in all cultures, it is expressed
differently all over the world in accordance with local customs and
beliefs. Music has been associated with the healing of grief for
many centuries, with Homer prescribing music as an antidote to
sorrow as early as the 7th Century BC. The changing role of music
in expressions of grief and mourning throughout history and in
different cultures reflects the changing attitudes of society
towards life and death itself. This volume investigates the role of
music in mourning rituals across time and culture, discussing the
subject from the multiple perspectives of music history, music
psychology, ethnomusicology and music therapy.
