He uncovers six fundamental ways that songs communicate emotion and ideas--songs of friendship, joy, comfort, religion, knowledge and love--and so have built human nature. Mixing cutting-edge neuroscience, his own sometimes hilarious experiences in the music business, and illuminating interviews with experts from Sting and David Byrne to conductors, anthropologists, and evolutionary biologists, Levitin reveals the prehistoric, elegant systems at play when we sing and dance at weddings, cheer at a concert, or tune out privately with an iPod. 650 0 $a Communication in music. 650 0 $a Music $x Social aspects. 650 0 $a Music, Influence of. 941 $a 3 952 $l UVAX975 $d 20240215013732.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20120809011029.0 952 $l UDAX314 $d 20100120073657.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=6590CE8AFBCF11DEB3E93EDF5F36B428 994 $a 02 $b IOVInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
