Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book cogently analyzes the transformative shift in music from sensory to motor expression. The author argues that the focus of music has shifted away from eliciting emotional responses based on sense reactions, to instead evoking subconscious muscle activity to facilitate desired actions. This change parallels shifts in our society from patriarchal to democratic modes of organization where workers and the 'everyman' are driving societal change and not the leisured and privilege class. The author explores this idea in the context of national songs and church music, demonstrating how these genres have traditionally used shock tactics to inspire the masses but that this no longer effectively motivates the modern mind. The book concludes by proposing that music can play a vital role in promoting social change by moving beyond traditional sensory appeals and instead evoking subconscious motor responses that support the desired collective actions. Thoughtful and engaging, this book offers new ways of understanding the role of music in shaping our motivations and actions.
