Synopsis "Why Music Matters"

In What Ways Does Music Enrich The Lives Of People And Of Societies? What Prevents It From Doing So? In This Carefully Researched And Insightful Study, Hesmondhalgh Examines The Role Of Music In Our Lives, And How People Forge Connections With Others Through Music. However, It Also Argues That Music Cannot Remain Unaffected By The Inequalities That Stain Modern Life. Through This Critical Defense Of Music, A Variety Of Theories And Approaches Are Brought Together. In Doing So, Hesmondhalgh Provides A Distinctive And Valuable Perspective On The General Subject Of Music That Builds On Previous Research From A Variety Of Fields But Also Goes Beyond Them In Instructive New Ways. The Result Is A Landmark Study Of The Social Value Of Music And An Indispensable Contribution To A Variety Of Intersecting Fields, Written With Enormous Clarity, By A Leading Music Scholar
