When asked to describe what music means to them, most people talk
about its power to express or elicit emotions. As a melody can
produce a tear, tingle the spine, or energize athletes, music has a
deep impact on how we experience and encounter the world. Because
of the elusiveness of these musical emotions, however, little has
been written about how music creates emotions and how musical
emotion has changed its meaning for listeners across the last
millennium. In this sweeping landmark study, author Michael Spitzer
provides the first history of musical emotion in the Western world,
from Gregorian chant to Beyonce. Combining intellectual history,
music studies, philosophy, and cognitive psychology, A History of
Emotion in Western Music introduces current approaches to the study
of emotion and formulates an original theory of how musical emotion
works. Diverging from psychological approaches that center
listeners' self-reports or artificial experiments, Spitzer argues
that musical emotions can be uncovered in the techniques and
materials of composers and performers. Together with its extensive
chronicle of the historical evolution of musical style and emotion,
this book offers a rich union of theory and history.
