"The present volume is a cooperative work representing the results of wide research conducted by the authors during a number of years. In 1926, one of them published a favorably received study of "The Influence of Music on Behavior." Meanwhile, the other writer had been carrying on researches of a somewhat similar character, and had organized the results of musical studies which have been carried out during the last decade. It occurred to them to combine their results in the form of a General Psychology of Music, conceived on a different plan than any hitherto followed by writers on this subject. It appears to the authors of this book that most similar works offer a limited conception of music, having been written primarily for musicians, students of music, physicists, critics and other special classes of readers. It is assumed that music is an art or technique more or less divorced from life, and that the psychology of music is limited to a study of responses--to its mere elements, or, a discussion of the abstract relationships between such elements. We think of music as no isolated abstract art--a mere element of culture--but as a form or phase of culture inextricably blended with its other phases. In short, music is a form of living, influencing and influenced by every other form of living. We have traced the influence of music on religious and economic life, on philosophy, morals, and medicine. These facts account for the great amount of sociological material incorporated in these pages. If musical stimuli have really played such a role in biological evolution as our analysis suggests, the general influence of music on the organism is a deductive fact requiring no further proof. It is, however, of interest chiefly as a background to studies of specific musical effects, the presence of which, if found by experiment on a few individuals, would still be a doubtful basis for a generalization in the absence of some general conditions for the appearance of musical effects. By organizing all the available series of data on musical influences, from ethnology, sociology, and culture history, as well as from experiment, we may derive a convergent proof of the influence of music on the organism, which will be more satisfactory than one based on any single series of data with its inherent limitations. Our purpose then is to study the influence of music on the organism. We approach music from the practical rather than from the aesthetic stand-point, regarding it as a necessity, a possible means of re-education and human reconstruction for all, rather than a mere subject of unproductive pleasure, or an object for criticism from the learned few. Our general method will be genetic as well as experimental"--Introduction. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2015 APA, all rights reserved).

"This book explores the ways in which four visual artists make sense of referentialism and emotion in music. By listening to five art songs by Schubert, Strauss, Fauré and Berlioz they were inspired to create new artworks as a result of their understanding of the meaning of the art songs. This was done without an understanding of the text, and the artists had to rely on referential meaning in music as well as the perceived or evoked emotions elicited by listening to the art songs. The artworks created as a result of this project were exhibited at the Aardklop National Arts Festival, entitled Nagmusiek. This was a multi-modal exhibition featuring music, art and text. This book employs Artistic Research and Phenomenology in order to understand this phenomenon, as I explored the artists' creative processes, experiences and the tacit knowledge embedded in their artefacts. This book would provide readers access to 20 new artworks, each created as a result of the artists' interpretation of the meaning they ascribed to art song. Their creative process is also examined and synthesised with existing literature on emotion and referentialism in music."

Que ce soit en Sibérie ou en Terre de Feu, au Viêt-nam, en Italie ou au Brésil, dans l'Antiquité ou de nos jours, la musique est partout associée à la transe. Pourquoi ? Serait-elle douée, comme certains le pensent, d'un mystérieux pouvoir, capable à lui seul de jeter les gens dans cet état de folie que les Grecs appelaient mania ? On serait parfois tenté de le croire, mais il n'en est rien. En fait, les relations qu'entretient la musique avec la transe sont des plus variées et parfois des plus contradictoires. S'il arrive souvent qu'elle la déclenche - ou plutôt semble la déclencher -, il est également fréquent qu'elle l'apaise. Ces contradictions ne se comprennent qu'en situant l'action de la musique - ses "effets" - non seulement dans la dynamique du vécu de la transe, mais encore dans celle du rituel qui en est le lieu. Plusieurs grands types de transe, fondés sur autant d'imaginaires différents, se dessinent peu à peu au cours de l'ouvrage. De son côté, la musique y est considérée tour à tour sous l'aspect de ses instruments, de ses pratiques, de sa symbolique et de ses exécutants. Ses relations avec la transe apparaissent alors comme régies par autant de logiques différentes qu'il y a de systèmes.
