How can an abstract sequence of sounds so intensely express
emotional states? How does music elicit or arouse our emotions?
What happens at the physiological and neural level when we listen
to music? How do composers and performers practically manage the
expressive powers of music? How have societies sought to harness
the powers of music for social or therapeutic purposes? In the past
ten years, research into the topic of music and emotion has
flourished. In addition, the relationship between the two has
become of interest to a broad range of disciplines in both the
sciences and humanities. The Emotional Power of Music is a
multidisciplinary volume exploring the relationship between music
and emotion. Bringing together contributions from psychologists,
neuroscientists, musicologists, musicians, and philosophers, the
volume presents both theoretical perspectives and in-depth
explorations of particular musical works, as well as first-hand
reports from music performers and composers. In the first section
of the book, the authors consider the expression of emotion within
music, through both performance and composing. The second section
explores how music can stimulate the emotions, considering the
psychological and neurological mechanisms that underlie music
listening. The third section explores how different societes have
sought to manage and manipulate the power of music. The book is
valuable for those in the fields of music psychology and music
education, as well as philosophy and musicology
