A fascinating six-part series on music from the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. I found Episode 1: Wired for Sound (Music & the Brain) and Episode 4: Enchanted, Entranced (Music & Spirituality) especially relevant and interesting. (In Episode #1, I particularly found the following sections interesting . . . 20:03 - 22:33, especially 21:02 - 21:11.)

(From various websites introducing the series.)

cbc Radio - The Nerve: Music & the Human Experience

Music is found in every culture worldwide. It's our constant companion, from birth through childhood, love, marriage and death. It has a starring role on every stage of the great human drama - whether we are at war or at prayer, by ourselves or with others, happy or sad - music is there. But does it really have a purpose? Where does it come from? And why does it have such power over our hearts and minds?

Taking a look at the How and Why of music, the team that brought you the Peabody-Award winning series The Wire: the Impact of Electricity on Music brings you a new six-part series, The Nerve: Music & the Human Experience.


Includes:
Episode 1: Wired for Sound (Music & the Brain) by Jowi Taylor, Chris Brookes, and Paolo Pietropaolo (Inside the Music, CBC, 2009)

This hour: how and why we're wired for sound. A look at music and the brain.

Consider music, if you will. Music! Beautiful, wonderful music, which can elevate your mood until youʼre dancing ecstatically or deplete it until you stop showering for a month; that entire flurry of sensation boils down to wave patterns and neuro-chemical events. Not exactly romantic perhaps, but endlessly fascinating. The Nerve, a six part series from the CBC, explores music and the brain, digging into exactly how and why we're wired for sound.

Episode 2: In the Key of DNA (Music & Evolution)

Episode 3: The Pipe, the Drum and the Thunder Run (Music & War)

Episode 4: Enchanted, Entranced (Music & Spirituality)

Episode 5: myTunes (Music & Identity)

Episode 6: Sentimental Journey (Music & Emotion)


'The Nerve' host is Jowi Taylor.
