  • On Identifying a Common Goal Between Musicians and Scientists
    ON IDENTIFYING A COMMON GOAL BETWEEN MUSICIANS AND SCIENTISTS Soubhik Chakraborty Department of Applied Mathematics Birla Institute of Technology Mesra, Ranchi-835215, India Email: [email protected] Abstract The aim of this article is to identify a common goal between musicians and scientists. Our analysis ends on a positive note suggesting that the “gap” between the two, so to say, exists only in the nature of the paths undertaken. There is hardly any gap so far as the goal is concerned. This realization, which I believe will be helpful in bringing scientists and musicians together thereby raising the standard of music appreciation, music therapy and music-learning, bears a sure relevance in the context of those developing countries such as India to which this author belongs where music therapy is not yet an established profession, nor is scientific research in music as popular as in the west. Key words Music appreciation; music therapy; music learning 1. Introduction Discovering similarities between the pursuits of scientific research and musical arts is a compelling and perennially interesting topic that has been discussed for around a century. This article gives my subjective personal opinion on the topic and bears a sure relevance in the Indian context where music therapy is not yet an established profession, nor is scientific research in music as popular as in the west. For further literature, however, the reader is referred to Parncutt and McPherson (2002), Hallam, Cross and Thaut (2009). See also Levinson (2003). 1.1 Discovering science in art Morgan and King (1986) have distinguished art from science as follows:- Science is a body of systematized knowledge.

    Music Therapy for Wellness | ANURADHA MAHESH http://anuradhamahesh.wordpress.com/music-therapy/ ANURADHA MAHESH ’Music is a Discipline and a Mistress of Good Manners, she makes the people milder and gentler, more Moral and more Reasonable’’ – Martin Luther King. Music Therapy for Wellness #7-The Concept of Remedial Music (http://anuradhamahesh.wordpress.com/music-therapy /the-concept-of-remedial-music/) #6-Music and Stress Relief It is with great dedication and devotion I have composed this music for stress relief . This was done by me when a famous Ayurvedic group approached me and asked for a soothing music that could bring down the stress level. This particular music is played during their Panchakarma Chikitsa session which is done during the morning hours. When the Sun fades and all extroversion, entertainment, and distraction is denied to Man, the mind retreats into a state of meditative introversion we call sleep. Thoughts that are unfinished in the mind, during the day, continue throughout the night in the forms of dreams, striving towards their resolution, as part of the brain’s intrinsic mechanism to find order. In a sense then, sleep is Nature’s way of reuniting Man with him or herself, enabling that which lies dormant in the hidden recesses of the mind, to reveal and express itself in secure isolation from the world. 1 of 35 28-Jan-14 15:20 Music Therapy for Wellness | ANURADHA MAHESH http://anuradhamahesh.wordpress.com/music-therapy/ The dawn of a morning then, has tremendous significance. It is the first witness of the conscious mind to the revelations of the night.
