When asked to describe what music means to them, most people talk about its power to express or elicit emotions. As a melody can produce a tear, tingle the spine, or energize athletes, music has a deep impact on how we experience and encounter the world. Because of the elusiveness of thesemusical emotions, however, little has been written about how music creates emotions and how musical emotion has changed its meaning for listeners across the last millennium. In this sweeping landmark study, author Michael Spitzer provides the first history of musical emotion in the Western world, from Gregorian chant to Beyonce. Combining intellectual history, music studies, philosophy, and cognitive psychology, A History of Emotion in Western Music introduces currentapproaches to the study of emotion and formulates an original theory of how musical emotion works. Diverging from psychological approaches that center listeners' self-reports or artificial experiments, Spitzer argues that musical emotions can be uncovered in the techniques and materials of composersand performers. Together with its extensive chronicle of the historical evolution of musical style and emotion, this book offers a rich union of theory and history. | A History of Emotion in Western Music by Michael Spitzer, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
