Enlightenment
Orpheus: The Power of Music in
Other Worlds Oxford University
Press, May, 2008 by
Vanessa Agnew Click
here to Order Ancient
beliefs in the power of music gained urgency during the
mid to late 18th century. The period saw an efflorescence
of Orpheus-themed musical works, including operas by Gluck,
Mozart, and Haydn. Orpheus as archmusician also emerged
as a key trope in aesthetic, literary, critical, and historical
thought. Yet this widespread interest in musical utility
(called Orphic discourse) seems to conflict with the notion
of aesthetic autonomy that emerged around the same time.
Music
and Altered States: Consciousness, Transcendence, Therapy
and Addictions Jessica Kingsley, January, 2009 by David Aldridge and Jörg
Fachner Click
here to Order This international collection examines
the opportunities for using music-induced states of altered
consciousness to promote physical and mental healing,
treat substance dependence, and in spiritual and palliative
care. The contributors describe the successful use of
altered states and their therapeutic potential, providing
examples from different cultures and clinical, therapeutic
and spiritual settings. Their observations cover a wide
range of music types capable of inducing altered states,
including polyrhythmic music, monotonous drumming, Western
pop, and Arab musical schemata, complemented by theoretical
and clinical approaches to applications in music therapy.
This book will be a useful reference for practicing music
therapists, musicologists, and ethnomusicologists, students
and academics in the field.

Music Therapy Jessica Kingsley
Publishing, December 2008 by
Gary Ansdell and Mercédès Pavlicevic Click
Here to Order Music
therapists from around the world working in conventional
and unconventional settings have offered their contributions
to this exciting new book, presenting spirited discussion
and practical examples of the ways music therapy can reflect
and encourage social change. From working with traumatized
refugees in Berlin, care-workers and HIV/AIDS orphans
in South Africa, to adults with neurological disabilities
in south-east England and children in paediatric hospitals
in Norway, the contributors present their global perspectives
on finding new ways forward in music therapy. Reflecting
on traditional approaches in addition to these newer practices,
the writers offer fresh perceptions on their identity
and role as music therapists, their assumptions and attitudes
about how music, people and context interact, the sites
and boundaries to their work, and the new possibilities
for music therapy in the 21st century. As the first book
on the emerging area of Community Music Therapy, this
book should be an essential and exciting read for music
therapists, specialists and community musicians.
