Emotions Caused by Music are Intelligent Emotions
Part 2
by Susan Dunn

Page: 1 2 3

No wonder it's called a "rush," and so addictive. It's apparently like depth charge shrapnel that explodes upon entering the brain.

B&Z quantified favorite music as that which the subject reported as giving them chills, or sending a shiver down their spine, and then recorded the changes in their heart rates, electromyograms, and respiration as they listened. They found as the pleasure increased, the blood flow changed in the pleasure centers, as predicted.

"Drowning Man" by U2 does that for Marshall. For me, it's "Piscatore 'e Pusilleco," by Andrea Bocelli.

So, when people question my use of art and music in my EQ courses and coaching, I can now respond that I intuitively knew it was as fundamental to emotions as food, sex and illicit drugs. But food and sex meet biological drives. Why music?

Dr. Geoffrey Miller, author of "The Mating Mind: How Sexual Choice Shaped the Evolution of Human Nature," thinks traits such as musical and artistic ability might be like the peacock's tail; sexy. Men don't look for these qualities on the porn sites, but in the selection of long-term mates, both men and women find them of value.

A. S. Vitogsky said, in his book, "The Psychology of Art," "The emotions caused by art are intelligent emotions. Instead of manifesting themselves in the form of fist-shaking or fits, they are usually released in images of fantasy." "Art" we can extend to include all the culture arts, i.e., poetry, sculpture, dance, music.

It's all going on in our heads, and that's a safe place! We sublimate, or divert the expression of an instinctual desire to something more socially and culturally acceptable.

The emotional content of the cultural arts also shapes and instructs. Primitive warriors beat drums to face down their fears before battle (which evolved into the Sousa march), painted their faces, and donned feathers to make themselves bigger and scarier to the enemy.

Painters, musicians and poets obsess over their love objects I particular, or of love and romance in the abstract (see Rossini's paintings, the poetry of Robert Browning, the love songs of Puccini and Verdi).

And Lorenzo the Magnificent used art allegorically to instruct (see Boticcelli's "Pallas and the Centaur"). He commissioned the painting of Pallas [Athena] subduing a centaur as a suggestive wedding gift to beastly Lorenzo di Pierfrancesco when he married gentle Semiramis D'Appiamo, who was to subdue his evil ways.
