Overview
What you will study
How does music communicate and arouse emotion? Does it have meaning and, if so, what does it mean? These questions have been hotly debated for centuries. Stravinsky famously remarked that “music is, by its very nature, essentially powerless to express anything at all” and, indeed, how could mere vibrations in the air be capable of stirring us to joy, sadness or other feelings? It clearly lacks any semantic meaning so how could it be said to convey any sort of meaning? The Emotion and Meaning in Music course offered by University of Oxford will discuss this subject.
