1. Music—Philosophy and aesthetics. 2. Music and science. From Bach fugues to Indonesian gamelan, from nursery rhymes to rock, music has cast its light into every corner of human culture. But why music excites such deep passions, and how we make sense of musical sound at all, are questions that have until recently remained unanswered. Now inThe Music Instinct, award-winning writer Philip Ball provides the first comprehensive, accessible survey of what is known--and still unknown--about how music works its magic, and why, as much as eating and sleeping, it seems indispensable to humanity. Deftly weaving together the latest findings in brain science with history, mathematics, and philosophy,The Music Instinctnot only deepens our appreciation of the music we love, but shows that we would not be ourselves without it.The Sunday Timeshailed it as "a wonderful account of why music matters," with Ball's "passion for music evident on every page."
