What's so special about music? We experience it internally, yet at the same time it is highly social. Music engages our cognitive/affective and sensory systems. We use music to communicate with one another—and even with other species—the things that we cannot express through language. Music is both ancient and ever evolving. Without music, our world is missing something essential. This book offers a social and behavioral neuroscientific explanation of why music matters. Its aim is not to provide a grand, unifying theory. Instead, it guides the reader through the relevant scientific evidence that links neuroscience, music, and meaning. It considers how music evolved in humans and birds, how music is experienced in relation to aesthetics and mathematics, the role of memory in musical expression, the role of music in child and social development, and the embodied experience of music through dance. It concludes with reflections on music and well-being. The book is a tour through the current research on the neuroscience of music.

Expression Of Emotions

This chapter first reviews the notions of intrinsic coding and associative coding. It then considers how these may be combined to produce musical expression of emotions, both basic and complex emotions. It suggests that there are some prototypical musical emotions frequently expressed in music, which are linked to the ‘functions’ of music in our evolutionary past. It proposes a list of seven ‘prototypical’ emotions which are expressed often in music: happiness (festive songs), sadness (mourning), love-tenderness (lullabies and tender love songs), anxiety (existential fears in life), nostalgia (social/cultural identity), anger (protest and war songs), spirituality-solemnity (religion), and sexual desire (mating).

AbstractThis article explores ways in which artistic directors and composers of new music ensembles have developed and redefined the role of the conductor to achieve specific goals and fulfil musical and artistic need. It will explore various manners in which they have instrumentalised the conductor – literally an embodied role – and opened new possibilities for musical expression. The analysis and examples provided will rely for the most part on material gathered during in-depth interviews conducted with artistic directors, composers, conductors and musicians who are professionally active in the new music field in Europe and beyond. The article endeavours to bring into greater detail artistic and socio-economic motivations for utilising conductors in new music ensembles.

Asian Languages

With the present issue of ALA, we are starting the second year in its new incarnation. As the paper is striving to cover the Asian languages in their multiplicity and in the multiplicity of approaches, I am glad to say that this issue offers both, in line with Roman Jakobson’s famous paraphrase “Linguista sum, linguistici nihil a me alienum puto.”Among the six papers in this issue, two papers deal with Japanese, two with Iranian langages, and one each with the language of Ṛgveda and with Arabic. Also, approaches vary from historical phonetics/phonology (paper by John KUPCHIK on the role of rendaku in Eastern Old Japanese poetry) and historical syntax (Tamara DITRICH’s discussion of coordinative particles in Ṛgveda), to typological considerations spannig diachroinc and synchronic views (Yadgar KARIMI’s analysis of the evolution of ergative in Iranian languages). Syncronic approaches comprise pragmatics (Biook BEHNAM and Salam KHALILIAQDAM’s treatment of hedging devices in Kurdish and Robert Michael BIANCHI’s account of the new hybrid language of 3arabizi), and interdisciplinary interpretation of lexis in the light of crosscultural psychology (Márton SZEMEREY’s paper comparing Japanese and Hungarian linguistic resources for expression of emotions).

The chapter addresses how teachers can guide the development of students’ musical capacities through creative projects in digital environments. Specific suggestions are tailored to suit the needs of student composers, performers, and listeners as they develop their individual musicianship skills. Students can be guided beyond simply exploring apps by focusing on feelingful intention, musical expression, and artistic craftsmanship as they create music of their own. Student performers in iPad ensembles can be helped to anticipate sonic possibilities and artistically interpret the music of others as sensitive expressions of feeling. Listening experiences become more purposeful when students attend to musical impressions through artistic perception and create a personally meaningful relationship with music. These capacities are available in all manner of musical media, but they especially can assist and focus student expressivity in technological environments. This allows students to more artistically engage their personal creativity. Whether working alone or in collaboration with others, students may use a variety of apps to broaden their conceptions of music and the role of technology in music. Teaching examples designed to develop role-specific musical capacities are provided for composition, performance, and listening activities.

Layered Samples

Existing studies about DJ learning and experience hint at the importance of place and music in the development of DJ musicianship. An exploration of the experiences of a queer DJ performing electronic dance music in a queer place might broaden our understanding of how musical expression and identity intermingle with musical places. I sought to understand how the monthly queer event Bronco functioned as a place for musical expression for an electronic dance music DJ named Greg. Using the remix as a methodological framework, I layered samples from interviews and field texts to depict Greg’s experiences alongside my own at Bronco. Findings illuminate the role of place in Greg’s musical development, performances and expression of musical and sexual identity. The resonance of Greg’s experiences with my experience as a queer music educator is discussed as well as considerations for music educators who may seek to include electronic dance music in classroom settings.

Abstract Background: Young adults and adolescents are in stage where their mental health is more vulnerable. In Latin América, there are factors that predispose young people towards an increased risk of suffering from mental illness. However more than half of the young people who manifest symptoms of depression and anxiety are able to overcome these episodes approximately one year after the onset of symptoms. This is related to the concept of resilience.Methods: The main objective of the study was to characterize the role of the arts in relation to mental health in young people involved in artistic organizations in Bogota. Six artistic workshops and focus groups were conducted, with 38 participants from two arts organizations in Bogota. The type of artistic workshop varied depending on the type of art taught in each institution. The focus group discussions were recorded, transcribed, coded and analyzed using an inductive analysis methodology.Results: There were five themes that emerged in explaining the role of the arts in relation to the mental health of young people. These themes included i) the management and expression of emotions, ii) the transformation of emotions, iii) the distracting quality of the arts, iv) the arts as a social facilitator and v) the arts as part of the identity and lifestyle of young people.Conclusions: For young people who participate in artistic activities, the arts are a tool for managing emotions perceived as negative, such as stress, anxiety, depression and sadness. Their perception of the arts as a tool for mental health was viewed differently depending on whether it is perceived as a professional vocation versus a hobby. These findings are relevant within the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, taking into account that the participants were exposed to various mental health risk factors, such as an extended obligatory quarantine and social distancing.
