Brian Harrell: Outside Reading (Music)
Emotions of Music:
Music holds an entity of its own; being happy, sad, angry, whatever it may be, each song holds individual emotional characteristics that make up its essence. Through music’s emotional expressiveness, their emotions can be seen as psychological agents, who have their very own emotions to express. Author, Andrew Kania writes on the idea of emotions in music describing expression as, "something persons do, namely, the outward manifestation of their emotional states. Expressiveness is something artworks, and possibly other things, possess. It is presumably related in some way to expression, and yet cannot simply be expression for the reason just given"(Kania).
I believe that a work of music can truly express any sort of emotion possible. Through the use of tempo change, a variety of instruments, sounds and vocals, music can truly convey what the musician is either feeling or wants to express. That is what I find as the beauty behind music. Music in a sense is an instrument utilized the musician to illustrate their own feelings. On the Scientific side of things, Dr. Jenny Brockis writes, "When we listen to music, multiple areas of the brain are activated including those associated with movement, planning, attention and memory. It changes our brain chemistry as well. Listening to music we enjoy stimulates the release of dopamine that makes us feel rewarded" (Brockis).
