MUSIC NOSTALGIA AND MEMORY - SANDRA GARRIDO JAN...

How are our personal soundtracks of life devised? What makes some pieces of music more
meaningful to us than others? This book explores the role of memory  both personal and cultural
in imbuing music with the power to move us. Focusing on the relationship between music and key
life moments from birth to death  the text takes a cross-disciplinary approach  combining
perspectives from a 'history of emotions' with modern day psychology  empirical surveys of
modern-day listeners and analysis of musical works. The book traces the trajectory of emotional
response to music over the past 500 years  illuminating the interaction between personal 
historical and contextual variables that influence our hard-wired emotional responses to music
and the key role of memory and nostalgia in the mechanisms of emotional response.
