For virtually all of our lives, we are surrounded by music. From
lullabies to radio to the praises sung in houses of worship, we
encounter music at home and in the street, during work and in our
leisure time, and not infrequently at birth and death. But what is
music, and what does it mean to humans? How do we process it, and
how do we create it? Musician Leo Samama discusses these and many
other questions while shaping a vibrant picture of music's
importance in human lives both past and present. What is remarkable
is that music is recognised almost universally as a type of
language that we can use to wordlessly communicate. We can hardly
shut ourselves off from music, and considering its primal role in
our lives, it comes as no surprise that few would ever want to.
Able to transverse borders and appeal to the most disparate of
individuals, music is both a tool and a gift, and as Samama shows,
a unifying thread running throughout the cultural history of
mankind.
