Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Music is central to human cultural and intellectual experience. It is vitally important for the welfare of human society and - this book argues - should become more widely accepted in our community as a mainstream educational and therapeutic tool. This book explores the importance of music throughout human evolution, and its continued relevance to modern-day human society. Throughout, the emphasis is on the origin of music and how (and where) it is processed in our brains, exploring in detail the genetic and cultural evolution of modern, loquacious humans, how we may have evolved with unique neural and cognitive architecture, and why two complementary but distinct communication systems - language and music - remain a human universal. In addition the book explores, in some depth, the different theories that have been put forward to explain why musical communication was (and remains) advantageous to our species, with a particular emphasis on the role of music and dance in enhancing altruistic and prosocial behaviours. The author suggests that music, and the social harmonization it brings, was of vital importance in early humans as we became more and more individualized by the emergence of modern language and the modern mind, and the realization that we are mortal. Music, Evolution, and the Harmony of Souls demonstrates the evolutionary sociobiological importance of music as a driver of cooperative and interactive behaviour throughout human existence, and what this evolutionary imperative means to twenty-first century humanity and beyond, from social and medical/neurological perspectives

Book excerpt: An excerpt from the Introduction: The swift current of modern musical art during the last ten or fifteen years seems at first glance to have ruthlessly swept away the whole of the theories of the past. The earnest student may well be excused if he is bewildered completely on rising up fresh from his theoretical treatises to plunge into the music of actual life — of the twentieth-century opera-houses, concert-halls, and music-rooms. The sincere mind can hardly be satisfied by the offhand opinions of hide-bound time-servers, who curtly dismiss these modern composers with a deprecatory wave of the hand! The whole of musical history — the initial rejection and later triumph of Monteverde and Gluck, of Bach and Beethoven, Wagner and Strauss — warns one against the too easy acceptance of the neatly turned epithets of persons who are too indolent to understand, or too indifferent to appreciate, a new kind of music which claims at once wide sympathies and considerable powers of concentration. Music which causes people to " hiss " and " boo " must contain at any rate some vitality, and is preferable consequently to that which speedily reduces the audience to a somnolent passivity. Even on short acquaintance these modern musicians have too much method in their so-called "modernity" to be dismissed thus cursorily. Ex nihilo nihil, and the more deeply our interest is roused, the more we feel convinced that the methods of the leaders of these many modern styles — or schools, or whatever we please to call them — are well founded on the rock-bed principles from which all the many secondary laws of art are drawn. It is the greatest possible mistake to view these modem schools as things separate from the art of the past. Indeed, most of the new traits are legitimate growths out of the art technique of the acknowledged great masters. Moreover, it does seem as if there were nothing new under the sun. Just as the principles of the twentieth-century "Cubism in painting were well known some 400 years ago, so the modern methods of part-writing and chord-building all find their prototypes time after time in the pages of the great masters of the past.

Download or read book Nordic Art Music written by Frederick K. Smith and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2002-06-30 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The five countries that make up Northern Europe—Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, and Iceland—have, over the course of the last several centuries, developed and unique and viable art music history that easily rivals that of their continental neighbors. Nordic Art Music: From the Middle Ages to the Third Millennium provides an informative and accessible overview of the fascinating historical and aesthetic developments of this music and its creators, from the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, through the Baroque, Classical, and Romantic eras, to the beginning of this new century. Though some Nordic composers, including Edvard Grieg, Carl Nielsen, and Jean Sibelius, have found great acclaim in all parts of the world, author Frederick Key Smith lays the foundation for their work in his discussion of the many composers relatively unknown outside of Northern Europe. Smith ably discusses the composers, styles, and representative works of each era in language that makes for a highly readable musical history as well as a superior reference guide. The first English-language book of its type in nearly 40 years, Smith's study brings into focus this broad and exciting aspect of music history.
