Description

Explore the profound connection between sound and feeling in this landmark study by Michael Spitzer. While most people recognize that music can trigger tears, provide energy, or cause a physical tingle, the mechanics of how these emotions are created remain largely unexplored. This book fills that gap by examining how musical emotion has shifted in meaning for listeners over the last thousand years. From the early days of Gregorian chant to the modern era of pop music, this sweeping history tracks the evolution of how we experience sound. It provides a deep look into the Western musical tradition, offering a rare perspective on how the way we feel music has changed across a millennium. Whether you are a student of music theory or a listener interested in the psychological impact of melody, this work offers a unique look at the history of human expression through music.
