Yet there are others that express more realistically the choices in love, such as Johnny Cash's "I Walk the Line," the line being one between marital faithfulness and philandering. The book itself says that this was intentional, "for us to have some common ground", but having grown up in the same culture, only one generation later, I found most of it irrelevant. Provides a biological explanation for why we might tap our feet or bob our heads in time with a favorite song, how singing might soothe a baby, and how music emboldens soldiers or athletes preparing for conflict.

The particular song type of each chapter seems just a starting point for a wide-ranging mix of research, song lyrics and anecdote, that doesn't always seem well connected, but certainly reflects his wide experiences playing with bands like Blue Oyster Cult, visiting the hotel suite where John Lennon, Yoko Ono, staged their "bed-in" and recorded "Give Peace a Chance," as well as his explorations of evolutionary biology and cognitive research.

Dividing the sum total of human musical achievement, from Beethoven to The Beatles, Busta Rhymes to Bach, into just six fundamental forms, Levitin illuminates, through songs of friendship, joy, comfort, knowledge, religion and love, how music has been instrumental in the evolution of language, thought and culture.

I didn't live during the Vietnam War, so like I said, I really don't know where I stand on its justification, but what I got from Levitin's approach on the subject that really didn't need to be in this book in the first place was that the genocide of the Jews was evil and unacceptable which is true but the genocide of people in small Asian countries was fine which is not true.

Science in the Soul. That he is able to achieve so much with this small set of songs says something truly important about our common humanity. Levitin combines cutting-edge scientific research from his music cognition lab at McGill University and work in an array of related fields; his own sometimes hilarious experiences in the music business; and illuminating interviews with musicians such as Sting and David Byrne, as well as conductors, anthropologists, and evolutionary biologists. Interesting how feeling sad or listening to sad songs releases Prolactin, which tranquilizes you. I really enjoyed Levitin's previous book, and expected more of the same. The stated goal seemed outlandish. The author mixes scientific fact i. I basically skipped over most of 'religion' unfortunately. Rating details. The only strength of the book that may provide some foundation for scholarship on popular music is the division of songs into six types: Friendship, Joy, Comfort, Knowledge, Religion and Love songs. Daniel Levitin. Also, apart from the "Friendship", "Comfort", and "Joy" a little bit sections, I didn't enjoy the three other chapters Knowledge, Religion, Love quite as much. In this book Levitin shows how music and dance enabled the bonding and friendship necessary for society, science and art to evolve. So, I should have loved this book. The World in Six Songs Religion : He includes here all the songs we use for the important rituals of our lives such as "Pomp and Circumstance" and "The Wedding March" and why they are not appropriate outside certain settings. For one thing, Levitin actually managed to mostly stay on topic, and not list a slew of different song types that he believes to be part of joy.

  • World in Six Songs: How the Musical Brain Created Human Nature
    >> From the Library of Congress in Washington, DC. >> I'm Steve Mincher [assumed spelling] for the Library of Congress, and we're talking on the podcast today with Daniel Levitin, author of "This Is Your Brain on Music" and "The World in Six Songs". He's about to give a lecture in the Library's Music and the Brain Series. Daniel Levitin is James McGill Professor of Psychology and Behavioral Neuroscience at McGill University, and that's a mouthful. He's also worked as a record producer and a recording engineer with what Wikipedia tells me are 14 gold and platinum recordings to his credit. Is that true? >> I think that sounds about right. >> Okay. Now since I have you here and since you've worked with Steely Dan, I had a question that I could only ask you. Every time I've ever walked into a place where someone is mixing music in a hall or in a recording studio -- >> --Yeah >> --They're playing "Ricky, Don't Lose That Number" and they're listening -- >> -- Intently -- >> -- Intently. What are they listening for? >> -- Well, the thing about Steely Dan's recordings are that they are really models of how good recording technology can be. I mean in the history of recorded music, everybody may have their favorite piece of music, or their favorite way of demonstrating the technical capabilities of reproduction equipment. But I think most, if not many, serious listeners agree that the Steely Dan represents really the zenith of what recording technology can be in terms of clarity, frequency response, dynamic range, a complete separation between the instruments and yet they still blend in a harmonious way.

  • Neuropsychology of Music – a Rapidly Growing Branch of Psychology
    Psihološka obzorja / Horizons of Psychology, 19, 1, 79-98 (2010) © Društvo psihologov Slovenije 2010, ISSN 1318-187 Znanstveni teoretsko-pregledni prispevek Neuropsychology of music – a rapidly growing branch of psychology Katarina Habe* Faculty of Education, University of Maribor Abstract: Relationship between brain and music is of interest to musicians, psychologists and neu- roscientists. In recent years no other area of psychology of music has seen as much advancement as neuropsychology of music. The aim of the article is to present some main issues in the neuropsychol- ogy of music abroad and in Slovenia, to classify research studies into larger categories and to predict the future development of this field.There are different levels of inquiry into the neuropsychology of music: (1) the analysis of normal and abnormal psychological and physiological functions to determine the principles and modes by which the human brain processes, codifies, stores, and produces music, and (2) a description of the clinical deficits in music perception or performance resulting from local- ized or diffuse damage to the nervous system. Main topics that occupy neuropsychology of music are neuropsychological models of musical processing, functional imaging of musical perception and cognition, and the use of music as a therapeutic and clinical tool. Although some important studies have already been conducted since the year 2003, in Slovenia we faced a “formal” turning point in acknowledging the importance of the connection between music, mind and brain with the Sinapsa’s Week of the brain 2009 under the title Brain and music.

General Introduction 2. Social Foundations 3. Structure and Meaning 4. Poetic Processes in Language and Music 5. The Place of Music in Human Evolution 6. Conclusion and Perspectives Glossary Bibliography Biographical Sketches Summary Music is a universal art form, reflecting—and revealing—many aspects of human nature, including our shared biology as well as our diverse cultural forms of expression throughout the planet. Like poetry and oral literature, music is present in all societies, arising fairly spontaneously from familiar formulas (and narratives) that have their roots in local social traditions, with histories that can be traced back to countless generations. Thus, long before the advent of writing systems, songs, often in the form of epic poetry, allowed humans across the planet to document their histories as ―oral literature‖; in this way, music has provided the soundtrack for life for most of humanity throughout history.Not infrequently, these local traditions in music cross paths, as people encounter their neighbors in trade, marriage, or warfare, giving rise to new and blended types of compositions—a phenomenon that is broadly called syncretism in multiple areas of human life,UNESCO-EOLSS including religion and the arts.

  • Current Advances in the Cognitive Neuroscience of Music Daniel J
    THE YEAR IN COGNITIVE NEUROSCIENCE 2009 Current Advances in the Cognitive Neuroscience of Music Daniel J. Levitin and Anna K. Tirovolas McGill University, Montreal, QC Canada The study of music perception and cognition is one of the oldest topics in experimental psychology. The last 20 years have seen an increased interest in understanding the func- tional neuroanatomy of music processing in humans, using a variety of technologies including fMRI, PET, ERP, MEG, and lesion studies. We review current findings in the context of a rich intellectual history of research, organized by the cognitive systems underlying different aspects of human musical behavior. We pay special attention to the perception of components of musical processing, musical structure, laterality effects, cultural issues, links between music and movement, emotional processing, expertise, and the amusias. Current trends are noted, such as the increased interest in evolu- tionary origins of music and comparisons of music and language. The review serves to demonstrate the important role that music can play in informing broad theories of higher order cognitive processes such as music in humans. Key words: music; language; emotion; structure; evolutionary psychology; expertise Introduction dress questions about part−whole relationships in music and melody (Ehrenfels 1890/1988).
