Music. We love it. Have favorite songs. Sing & dance along. Some of us even create & perform it ourselves. But does it "soothe the savage beast" (as an often misquoted 1697 play once claimed)? Or has much of the world of music been tinkered with in order to instead: inflame? discourage? depress? suppress? compel? disconnect? All this & more is revealed when the author (a lifelong singing, songwriting, musical ex-malcontent) takes a look behind-the-scenes in terms of how harmony & dissonance have played a part in her own life, along with being used to affect society as a whole. The trajectories of smash hit artists from the days of yore such as Andy Gibb & John Denver help clarify discoveries found, connections made. Part photo-illustrated, personal storytelling with an engaging manner intended to uplift, the book additionally takes a gander at some historical facts from fresh angles. The correct quote mentioned is: "music hath charms to soothe the savage breast. To soften rocks, or bend the knotted oak." Quite potent is this gift of music from the Gods & Goddesses. One surely best wielded with joy & wisdom.
