Humanity’s Harmonies: How Music Enriches Word, Dance, and Drama to Tell Our Collective Stories
This month on Humanities Matter, we talk about Music! We wonder why apocalyptic soundtracks have captivated people since Medieval times, we re-discover the beauty and cultural significance of court music, and we explore the ways in which music brings stories to life in Western radio drama. All this featuring the co-editors of Brill’s Music in the Apocalyptic Mode and Word, Sound and Music in Radio Drama , and author of Mutʿat al-asmāʿ fīʿilm al-samāʿ, The Ears’ Pleasure and the Science of Listening to Music by Aḥmad b. Yūsuf al-Tīfāshī al-Qafṣī . Liked this podcast? Have thoughts on the topic? Want us to address a specific theme in the future? Write to us at podcast@brill.com .
