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.

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.

Music,
the Breath and Health: Advances in Integrative
Music Therapy Satchnote Press, 2009 by Ronit Azoulay Click
Here to Order The breath affects multiple dimensions
of our health. Scientific research is increasingly demonstrating
the influence of breath on emotion, physical health, resilience
and vitality. Music offers a unique contribution to breathing
function: Listening to music can impact breathing rhythms;
live music entrained to breathing rhythms may support
interpersonal connection; and active music-making using
the breath directly (e.g., wind instrument playing and/or
singing) can support optimal respiration. Integrative
music therapy incorporates clinical interventions using
music and breath within a holistic view of the patient
and healthcare delivery. In this book, contributors from
music therapy, medicine and related healthcare professions
offer clinical methods and research on music, the breath
and health across a variety of populations including pulmonary
medicine, mechanical ventilation, coma, pain management,
procedural support, childbirth, neonatal intensive care,
oncology, end of life, psychotherapy and wellness.
