In recent decades, the relationship between music, emotions, health
and well-being has become a hot topic. Scientific research and new
neuro-imaging technologies have provided extraordinary new insights
into how music affects our brains and bodies, and researchers in
fields ranging from psychology and music therapy to history and
sociology have turned their attention to the question of how music
relates to mind, body, feelings and health, generating a wealth of
insights as well as new challenges. Yet this work is often divided
by discipline and methodology, resulting in parallel, yet separate
discourses. In this context, The Routledge Companion to Music, Mind
and Well-being seeks to foster truly interdisciplinary approaches
to key questions about the nature of musical experience and to
demonstrate the importance of the conceptual and ideological
frameworks underlying research in this field. Incorporating
perspectives from musicology, history, psychology, neuroscience,
music education, philosophy, sociology, linguistics and music
therapy, this volume opens the way for a generative dialogue across
both scientific and humanistic scholarship. The Companion is
divided into two sections. The chapters in the first, historical
section consider the varied ways in which music, the emotions,
well-being and their interactions have been understood in the past,
from Antiquity to the twentieth century, shedding light on the
intellectual origins of debates that continue today. The chapters
in the second, contemporary section offer a variety of current
scientific perspectives on these topics and engage wider
philosophical problems. The Companion ends with chapters that
explore the practical application of music in healthcare, education
and welfare, drawing on work on music as a social and ecological
phenomenon. Contextualising contemporary scientific research on
music within the history of ideas, this volume provides a unique
overview of what it means to study music in relation to the mind
and well-being.
