There is much music in our lives -yet we know little about its
function. Music is one of man's most remarkable inventions - though
possibly it may not be his invention at all: like his capacity for
language his capacity for music may be a naturally evolved biologic
.function. All cultures and societies have music. Music differs
from the sounds of speech and from other sounds, but only now do we
find ourselves at the threshold of being able to find out how our
brain processes musical sounds differently from other sounds. We
are going through an exciting time when these questions and the
question of how music moves us are being seriously investigated for
the first time from the perspective of the co-ordinated functioning
of the organism: the perspective of brain function, motor function
as well as perception and experience. There is so much we do not
yet know. But the roads to that knowledge are being opened, and the
coming years are likely to see much progress towards providing
answers and raising new questions. These questions are different
from those music theorists have asked themselves: they deal not
with the structure of a musical score (although that knowledge is
important and necessary) but with music in the flesh: music not
outside of man to be looked at from written symbols, but music-man
as a living entity or system.
