Music's ability to express and arouse emotions is a mystery that
has fascinated both experts and laymen at least since ancient
Greece. The predecessor to this book 'Music and Emotion' (OUP,
2001) was critically and commercially successful and stimulated
much further work in this area. In the years since publication of
that book, empirical research in this area has blossomed, and the
successor to 'Music and Emotion' reflects the considerable activity
in this area.
The Handbook of Music and Emotion offers an 'up-to-date' account of
this vibrant domain. It provides comprehensive coverage of the many
approaches that may be said to define the field of music and
emotion, in all its breadth and depth.
The first section offers multi-disciplinary perspectives on musical
emotions from philosophy, musicology, psychology, neurobiology,
anthropology, and sociology. The second section features
methodologically-oriented chapters on the measurement of emotions
via different channels (e.g., self report, psychophysiology,
neuroimaging). Sections three and four address how emotion enters
into different aspects of musical behavior, both the making of
music and its consumption. Section five covers developmental,
personality, and social factors. Section six describes the most
important applications involving the relationship between music and
emotion. In a final commentary, the editors comment on the history
of the field, summarize the current state of affairs, as well as
propose future directions for the field.
The only book of its kind, The Handbook of Music and Emotion will
fascinate music psychologists, musicologists, music educators,
philosophers, and others with an interest in music and emotion
(e.g., in marketing, health, engineering, film, and the game
industry). It will be a valuable resource for established
researchers in the field, a developmental aid for early-career
researchers and postgraduate research students, and a compendium to
assist students at various levels. In addition, as with its
predecessor, it will also attract interest from practising
musicians and lay readers fascinated by music and emotion.
