Preserving the emotional history of our lives and of our species, from its very beginning music was also allied to dance, as the structure of the brain confirms; developing this neurological observation, Levitin shows how music and dance enabled the social bonding and friendship necessary for human culture and society to evolve. Blending scientific findings with his own experiences as a musician and music-industry professional, Levitin also incorporates wisdom gleaned from interviews with icons ranging from Sting and Paul Simon to Joni Mitchell, and David Byrne, along with classical musicians and conductors, historians, anthropologists, and evolutionary biologists.--From publisher description. 650 0 $a Music $x Psychological aspects. 650 0 $a Music $x Social aspects. 650 0 $a Music $x Origin. 650 6 $a Musique $x Aspect psychologique. 650 6 $a Musique $x Aspect social. 650 6 $a Musique $x Origines. 856 41 $3 Table of contents only $u http://www.loc.gov/catdir/toc/ecip0814/2008012298.html 941 $a 17 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240716060731.0 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240710073252.0 952 $l OZAX845 $d 20240525040115.0 952 $l PQAX094 $d 20231214014625.0 952 $l KAPF566 $d 20230331012159.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722021147.0 952 $l BWPD851 $d 20210714011136.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20190814024753.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190103040954.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20181107043441.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006051358.0 952 $l MXPG943 $d 20180720032747.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20171222043554.0 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20170815011007.0 952 $l S1PD771 $d 20090708133753.0 952 $l SOAX911 $d 20090708133753.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20090708133753.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=31AAC4866BF611DEA13FF332A8D7520A 994 $a 02 $b UIBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
