Shibboleths & Ploughshares: MUSIC emotion meaning
This monograph poses serious questions: Does music contain emotion? Does music have meaning? These concepts are at the heart of musical experience, for professionals, amateurs and audiences. Combining readability with intellectual inquiry, award-winning writer MICHELENE WANDOR's book argues that meaning and emotion are not intrinsic to music, but depend on the contexts and conditions of performance.
She argues for the power of music, encouraging students, teachers, professional and amateur performers, as well as audiences and listeners, to think about what music means – to them personally, as an art form, and as an experience to be enjoyed.
