“Higgins’ love of music and cultural variety is evident throughout. She writes in a relaxed, accessible, sophisticated style…Highly recommended.”—Choice From our first social bonding as infants to the funeral rites that mark our passing, music plays an important role in our lives, bringing us closer to one another. In this book, philosopher Kathleen Marie Higgins investigates this role, examining the features of human perception that enable music’s uncanny ability to provoke—despite its myriad forms across continents and throughout centuries—the sense of a shared human experience. Drawing on disciplines such as philosophy, psychology, musicology, linguistics, and anthropology, Higgins’s richly researched study showcases the ways music is used in rituals, education, work, and healing, and as a source of security and—perhaps most importantly—joy. By participating so integrally in such meaningful facets of society, Higgins argues, music situates itself as one of the most fundamental bridges between people, a truly cross-cultural form of communication that can create solidarity across political divides. Moving beyond the well-worn takes on music’s universality, The Music between Us provides a new understanding of what it means to be musical and, in turn, human. “Those who, like Higgins, deeply love music, actually know something about it, have open minds and ears, and are willing to look beyond the confines of Western aesthetics…will find much to learn in The Music between Us.”—Journalof Aesthetics and Art Criticism

In the first comprehensive study of the relationship between music and language from the standpoint of cognitive neuroscience, Aniruddh D. Patel challenges the widespread belief that music and language are processed independently. Since Plato's time, the relationship between music and language has attracted interest and debate from a wide range of thinkers. Recently, scientific research on this topic has been growing rapidly, as scholars from diverse disciplines, including linguistics, cognitive science, music cognition, and neuroscience are drawn to the music-language interface as one way to explore the extent to which different mental abilities are processed by separate brain mechanisms. Accordingly, the relevant data and theories have been spread across a range of disciplines. This volume provides the first synthesis, arguing that music and language share deep and critical connections, and that comparative research provides a powerful way to study the cognitive and neural mechanisms underlying these uniquely human abilities. Winner of the 2008 ASCAP Deems Taylor Award.

What i'm going to say is that I've been remembering facts of this life and i believe myself like im the center of everything. The Christ consciousness is basically based on what i could say as an individual: there's no other ones, there's no existence of people. I have seen that and that is why i'm talking about it, there's no people in this world, i am the only one living on this reality that is totally a software. It is a software that i don't really know where it cames from.Some says from the moon; some says other stuff i don't really know where this software comes from but what I am really sure about is that everything is an illusion. we live inside a matrix and there's no we because i live inside a simulation of a software computer highly advanced and also highly damaged as well. I just want to say that i'm here, even if i know that there is no one out there i know and i understand values and the courage of the ones that surrounds me because the creation of themselves is my fault. If i see myself separated from others from my own self in other persons is because i'm not in a consciousness of unity if I were in a conscious of unity: no one and everyone will disappear: i'm working for that.There's no past there's no future it's only one life. There's no history, there is no bible those notes are just reminding you, reminding me who i am and what is my mission to accomplish. My mission to complete is to go back to my father GOD. My father is the creator of everything which is myself in the future there's no differentiation between myself from the future or what you call GOD, it's just myself in the future in a future that could understand the unity conciseness that means that in the future i finally understood that I am everything.With this book you will understand the real alphabet, theres only one language and you will learn to decode it very single possible combination of letters and numbers and get to a primordial state of knowin

'You are the music / While the music lasts' T.S. Eliot, The Four Quartets Do babies remember music from the womb? Can classical music increase your child's IQ? Is music good for productivity? Can it aid recovery from illness and injury? And what is going on in your brain when Ultravox's 'Vienna', Schoenberg's Verklärte Nacht or Dizzee Rascal's 'Bonkers' transports you back to teenage years? In a brilliant new work that will delight music lovers of every persuasion, music psychologist Victoria Williamson examines our relationship with music across the whole of a lifetime. Along the way she reveals the amazing ways in which music can physically reshape our brains, explores how 'smart music listening' can improve cognitive performance, and considers the perennial puzzle of what causes 'earworms'. Requiring no specialist musical or scientific knowledge, this upbeat, eye-opening book reveals as never before the extent of the universal language of music that lives deep inside us all.
