Book explores the role of music in emotions
Music can alter our mood, as the phrase “music calms the savage beast” illustrates, for example.
It can set the scene for calmness, romance, learning and creativity. A new book by North-West University (NWU) academic Prof Conroy Cupido explores how four visual artists created original artworks about the meaning they attach to music and how the music influenced their emotions.
Music, art and emotion: depictions of the night inspired by romantic art song is an open-access scholarly book that was launched on 22 February.
