Cover of 為什麼傷心的人要聽慢歌:從情歌、舞曲到藍調,樂音如何牽動你我的行為
by 丹尼爾.列維廷(Daniel J. Levitin)
Language: Chinese
Release Date: April 18, 2017

超越國度的歌曲魔力 改變你看世界的方式 為什麼某些宗教音樂可以加強團體的信仰?為什麼某些歌曲會讓我們潸然淚下? 其實,音樂與歌曲是人類演化中的精華,能在我們的大腦中誘發情緒並引導行為: ◎為什麼傷心的人要聽慢歌? 因為悲傷的音樂可以幫我們「騙過」頭腦,讓它釋放泌乳素來回應我們透過音樂想像出來的、安全的悲傷感,然後泌乳素就可以調整我們的心情。 ◎為什麼一起唱歌能夠促進團結 因為具有同步協調性質的歌曲和身體律動,彼此需要互動、相互遷就,因此能創造出最強烈的社交連結,體內還會分泌催產素,促進建立信任感。 ◎為什麼歌詞比文章更容易記憶? 因為曲調的形式、結構與押韻,能夠為內容設下多重限制,並提供各種記憶上的提示,互相強化之下使得殘缺不全的記憶有幾乎完美的表現。 更多的音樂奧秘,都在《為什麼傷心的人要聽慢歌》逐步呈現。 本書作者丹尼爾.列維廷結合了他在麥基爾大學音樂認知實驗室中最先進的科學研究, 以及和指揮家、人類學家和演化生物學家等等的訪談內容, 呈現了六大類歌曲——友誼、喜悅、安慰、宗教、知識與愛, 這些歌曲如何在我們的大腦中運作,促成人類文化與社會中的人際連結。 《為什麼傷心的人要聽慢歌》帶我們走一遭藝術與科學的交融體驗, 從現代化的實證角度,對音樂提出極為豐富、令人耳目一新的見解, 讓我們對人類行為與文化進展產生了革命性的理解。 【專業推薦】 「科學家以演化生物學、神經科學、心智科學等角度解析音樂,帶來前所未見的開闊視野,也讓我們重新思考人性本質。作者自在遊走於生物音樂學的三個分支之間,不時穿插個人的音樂生命經驗,引用學術研討會中的精彩辯論,在理性與感性之間取得了美妙的平衡。」 ——臺大音樂學研究所副教授 蔡振家 為什麼歌曲能夠使你在幾秒鐘之內潸然淚下?《為什麼傷心的人要聽慢歌》會告訴你答案。書中對人類藝術的觀點新穎又激勵人心,讀起來樂趣十足,喜歡音樂的人都該來看這本書。 ——巴比.麥菲林(Bobby...
