Music by Don Campbell
"Each morning, as we hum or chant or strum, we can celebrate the renewal of our path with our own humble offering of the glorious gift called music. This book offers a panorama of ways music can nourish our lives."---Paul Winter, award-winning musician and composer.
As ancient peoples knew, music profoundly affects body, mind, and spirit. It can speed recovery from disease, heal psychological wounds, and open us to the ultimate mystery of life. Celebrated author and educator Don Campbell presents an impressive anthology of essays exploring the latest scientific research about the healing use of sound in traditional cultures. Contributors include composers, musicians, and music therapists; doctors and psychologists; pioneers in neuroscience and biophysics; and teachers in diverse spiritual traditions. They address such fascinating topics as: Why chanting increases energy; The therapeutic use of sacred music; Gender differences in healing with sound; How sonic resonance positively affects heart rate and brain activity.
Don Campbell studied under Nadia Boulanger at the Fontainebleau College of Music in France and has worked with Jean Houston, Leonard Bernstein, and other musicians, healers, and mind/body researchers. His quest to harness the healing and creative qualities of sound and music has carried him to 40 countries, including Haiti, Russia, and Ivory Coast. He has taught and performed in most of Europe's big cities, as well as living in Japan for several years and working as a music critic for a Tokyo newspaper. He founded the Institute of Music, Health, and Education in 1988, and is well-known to the general public thanks to numerous television and radio appearances, as well as international lecture tours. He currently resides in Boulder, Colorado.
