The World in Six Songs: How the Musical Brain Created Human Nature by Daniel Levitin
English | July 4th, 2019 | ISBN: 0241987814 | 368 pages | EPUB | 1.21 MB
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. And how, far from being a bit of a song and dance, music is at the core of what it means to be human.
