In Psychology of Music: From Sound to Significance (2nd edition), the authors consider music on a broad scale, from its beginning as an acoustical signal to its different manifestations across cultures. In their second edition, the authors apply the same richness of depth and scope that was a hallmark of the first edition of this text. In addition, having laid out the topography of the field in the original book, the second edition puts greater emphasis on linking academic learning to real-world contexts, and on including compelling topics that appeal to students’ natural curiosity. Chapters have been updated with approximately 500 new citations to reflect advances in the field. The organization of the book remains the same as the first edition, while chapters have been updated and often expanded with new topics. 'Part I: Foundations' explores the acoustics of sound, the auditory system, and responses to music in the brain. 'Part II: The Perception and Cognition of Music' focuses on how we process pitch, melody, meter, rhythm, and musical structure. 'Part III: Development, Learning, and Performance' describes how musical capacities and skills unfold, beginning before birth and extending to the advanced and expert musician. And finally, 'Part IV: The Meaning and Significance of Music' explores social, emotional, philosophical and cultural dimensions of music and meaning. This book will be invaluable to undergraduates and postgraduate students in psychology and music, and will appeal to anyone who is interested in the vital and expanding field of psychology of music.

For most of the history of film-making, music has played an integral role serving many functions - such as conveying emotion, heightening tension, and influencing interpretation and inferences about events and characters. More recently, with the enormous growth of the gaming industry and the Internet, a new role for music has emerged. However, all of these applications of music depend on complex mental processes which are being identified through research on human participants in multimedia contexts. The Psychology of Music in Multimedia is the first book dedicated to this fascinating topic. The Psychology of Music in Multimedia presents a wide range of scientific research on the psychological processes involved in the integration of sound and image when engaging with film, television, video, interactive games, and computer interfaces. Collectively, the rich chapters in this edited volume represent a comprehensive treatment of the existing research on the multimedia experience, with the aim of disseminating the current knowledge base and inspiring future scholarship. The focus on empirical research and the strong psychological framework make this book an exceptional and distinctive contribution to the field. The international collection of contributors represents eight countries and a broad range of disciplines including psychology, musicology, neuroscience, media studies, film, and communications. Each chapter includes a comprehensive review of the topic and, where appropriate, identifies models that can be empirically tested. Part One presents contrasting theoretical approaches from cognitive psychology, philosophy, semiotics, communication, musicology, and neuroscience. Part Two reviews research on the structural aspects of music and multimedia, while Part Three focuses on research examining the influence of music on perceived meaning in the multimedia experience. Part Four explores empirical findings in a variety of real-world applications of music in multimedia including entertainment and educational media for children, video and computer games, television and online advertising, and auditory displays of information. Finally, the closing chapter in Part Five identifies emerging themes and points to the value of broadening the scope of research to encompass multisensory, multidisciplinary, and cross-cultural perspectives to advance our understanding of the role of music in multimedia. This is a valuable book for those in the fields of music psychology and musicology, as well as film and media studies.

The realm of auditory cognition is beginning to affirm itself as a new research orientation. Until now, no volume has existed that covers in a didactic fashion the whole range of subjects in this domain. To rectify this situation a special tutorial workshop organized by the French Acoustical Society was held at IRCAM, the music research institute founded by Pierre Boulez. Specialists in perceptual organization, memory, attention, music psychology, neurospsychology, and developmental psychology were invited from Europe and North America. The chapters of this book present the materials from their lectures. The book will be useful to advanced students in the cognitive sciences and scientists specializing in many fields as well as in auditory psychology.

Excerpt from The Psychology of Sound I have undertaken this work in the interests of a purely psychological theory of the senses. A purely psychological analysis and theory of sensory experience has seemed to me for some years to be not only ideally desirable and even necessary, but really also possible. I have made two previous statements of the case for hearing. The first, published in 1911 in The British Journal of Psychology (vol. IV.), formed an incident in a general programme and tentative sketch of this pure psychology. The second, published in the same journal in 1914 (vol. VII.), was planned to meet the numerous attempts that had appeared in the intervening years to reform the elementary psychology of hearing. These attempts made strong appeals towards other lines of construction than those I had advocated; but I had confidence enough in the inherent appropriateness or, as it might be called technically, in the phenomenological correctness, of my 'idea' to be eager to come to grips with these others both in detail and in general. These new movements have since gained in interest and weight by the fact that Stumpf, in reviewing them in 1914, has seen fit to abandon his own generally accepted position, held since 1883, and to put himself at the head of one of the movements, though rejecting the special arguments brought forward for it by its first public exponents. From my second statement it may still not have been clear to many that the ground and basis of my analysis and theory of hearing are as purely psychological as I believe them to be. Such revolutionary teaching in psychology must needs have the most explicit statement. I hesitate to say that this doctrine is fundamentally new. In philosophy there is nothing so new under the sun. But at least in respect of the material to which the primary general principles of science have been applied, if not also in respect of the special principles that have sprung from the new rock that has been struck, there is surely much in my doctrine that is fresh growth and that will in its time give both blossom and fruit.
