Sandra Garrido, Jane W. Davidson

Research output: Chapter in Book / Conference PaperChapterpeer-review

Abstract

In this final chapter, Garrido and Davidson draw together the multi-faceted strands of evidence from their review of historical and musical sources, and their empirical study of modern day music choices to propose a comprehensive and innovative model of music, memory and emotion that takes into account the numerous variables discussed throughout the volume. They reiterate their argument that music, emotion and memory lie at the heart of musical choices and behaviours. They furthermore argue that the multi-disciplinary perspectives they have taken, merging historical approaches, musicology and psychology, can provide a model for future research that will enable a rich understanding into emotions and the role of music in human society.
