Music and Your Emotions, by six of the great medical and psychological authorities of The Music Research Foundation, is the first scientific study of the effect of music on the individual's emotions. Drawing on numerous experiments, it probes exactly how and to what extent music elicits different psychosomatic reactions and influences the mood of the listener. Music treatments were given to both the mentally ill--who responded gratifyingly--and "normal" people--who became happier and calmer.
