  • Evolutionary Musicology
    I THE BEGINNING 1 An Introduction to Evolutionary Musicology Steven Brown, Björn Merker, and Nils L. Wallin Abstract In this introduction to the new field of evolutionary musicology, we see that the study of music origins provides a fresh and exciting approach to the under- standing of human evolution, a topic that so far has been dominated by a focus on language evolution. The language-centered view of humanity has to be expanded to include music, first, because the evolution of language is highly inter- twined with the evolution of music, and, second, because music provides a spe- cific and direct means of exploring the evolution of human social structure, group function, and cultural behavior. Music making is the quintessential human cul- tural activity, and music is an ubiquitous element in all cultures large and small. The study of music evolution promises to shed light on such important issues as evolution of the hominid vocal tract; the structure of acoustic-communication signals; human group structure; division of labor at the group level; the capacity for designing and using tools; symbolic gesturing; localization and lateralization of brain function; melody and rhythm in speech; the phrase-structure of lan- guage; parent-infant communication; emotional and behavioral manipulation through sound; interpersonal bonding and synchronization mechanisms; self- expression and catharsis; creativity and aesthetic expression; the human affinity for the spiritual and the mystical; and finally, of course, the universal human attachment to music

  • Utopian Ecomusicologies and Musicking Hornby Island
    WHAT IS MUSIC FOR?: UTOPIAN ECOMUSICOLOGIES AND MUSICKING HORNBY ISLAND ANDREW MARK A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, CANADA August, 2015 © Andrew Mark 2015 Abstract This dissertation concerns making music as a utopian ecological practice, skill, or method of associative communication where participants temporarily move towards idealized relationships between themselves and their environment. Live music making can bring people together in the collective present, creating limited states of unification. We are “taken” by music when utopia is performed and brought to the present. From rehearsal to rehearsal, band to band, year to year, musicking binds entire communities more closely together. I locate strategies for community solidarity like turn-taking, trust-building, gift-exchange, communication, fundraising, partying, education, and conflict resolution as plentiful within musical ensembles in any socially environmentally conscious community. Based upon 10 months of fieldwork and 40 extended interviews, my theoretical assertions are grounded in immersive ethnographic research on Hornby Island, a 12-square-mile Gulf Island between mainland British Columbia and Vancouver Island, Canada. I describe how roughly 1000 Islanders struggle to achieve environmental resilience in a uniquely biodiverse region where fisheries collapsed, logging declined, and second-generation settler farms were replaced with vacation homes in the 20th century. Today, extreme gentrification complicates housing for the island’s vulnerable populations as more than half of island residents live below the poverty line. With demographics that reflect a median age of 62, young individuals, families, and children are squeezed out of the community, unable to reproduce Hornby’s alternative society.

  • Music Education and Music Psychology: What‟S the Connection? Research Studies in Music Education
    Music Psychology and Music Education: What’s the connection? By: Donald A. Hodges Hodges, D. (2003) Music education and music psychology: What‟s the connection? Research Studies in Music Education. 21, 31-44. Made available courtesy of SAGE PUBLICATIONS LTD: http://rsm.sagepub.com/ ***Note: Figures may be missing from this format of the document Abstract: Music psychology is a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary study of the phenomenon of music. The multidisciplinary nature of the field is found in explorations of the anthropology of music, the sociology of music, the biology of music, the physics of music, the philosophy of music, and the psychology of music. Interdisciplinary aspects are found in such combinatorial studies as psychoacoustics (e.g., music perception), psychobiology (e.g., the effects of music on the immune system), or social psychology (e.g., the role of music in social relationships). The purpose of this article is to explore connections between music psychology and music education. Article: ‘What does music psychology have to do with music education?’ S poken in a harsh, accusatory tone (with several expletives deleted), this was the opening salvo in a job interview I once had. I am happy, many years later, to have the opportunity to respond to that question in a more thoughtful and thorough way than I originally did. Because this special issue of Research Studies in Music Education is directed toward graduate students in music education and their teachers, I will proceed on the assumption that most of the readers of this article are more familiar with music education than music psychology.

Indeed, this is the very first time in musicological history that a scientific journal decides to devote an entire issue to the topic of animal music. In several cases, a few of which I had the honour to represent, zoomusicological essays have been published and discussed within wider contexts, such as conference proceedings, regular – i.e. non-thematic – issues of various journals, essay compilations, and even special – i.e. thematic – issues of journals (e.g., focusing on things like “new trends in musicology”). However, never was zoomusicology the topic, the actual focus of one particular issue. This means very much to me and, in this introduction to the issue, I shall take the liberty to 12 explain why. I became interested in zoomusicology in 1996, while in search for a topic for my master dissertation in musicology.

  • Chapter 7 the Neuroscience of Emotion in Music Jaak Panksepp and Colwyn Trevarthen
    07-Malloch-Chap07 9/9/08 10:41 AM Page 105 Chapter 7 The neuroscience of emotion in music Jaak Panksepp and Colwyn Trevarthen 7.1 Overture: why humans move, and communicate, in musical–emotional ways Music moves us. Its rhythms can make our bodies dance and its tones and melodies can stir emotions. It brings life to solitary thoughts and memories, can comfort and relieve loneliness, promote private or shared happiness, and engender feelings of deep sadness and loss. The sounds of music communicate emotions vividly in ways beyond the ability of words and most other forms of art. It can draw us together in affectionate intimacy, as in the first prosodic song-like conversations between mothers and infants. It can carry the volatile emotions of human attach- ments and disputes in folk songs and grand opera, and excite the passions of crowds on great social occasions. These facts challenge contemporary cognitive and neural sciences. The psychobiology of music invites neuroscientists who study the emotional brain to unravel the neural nature of affective experience, and to seek entirely new visions of how the mind generates learning and memory— to reveal the nature of ‘meaning’. The science of communicative musicality—the dynamic forms and functions of bodily and vocal gestures—helps us enquire how the motivating impulses of music can tell compelling stories. This also leads us to ask how human music relates to our animal emotional heritage and the dynamic instinctual movements that communicate emotions. Research on the emotional systems of animals is bringing us closer to explanations of the still mysterious aspects of human affective experiences, and hence the emotional power of music.
