Abstract

Music is one of the most effective methods of regulating moods and has been recognized as such from as early as the Ancient Greeks. This chapter considers the historical use of music to manipulate moods and emotions in both political and medical contexts. Its use in modern times as a form of mood-altering ‘self-medication’ is also discussed. Our emotional response to music influences both how we use music to modify our affective states and how particular pieces of music come to take on meaning in our lives. Thus, as illustrated in this chapter, the power of music to influence mood and affective states works hand-in-hand with nostalgia and memory in shaping our musical choices.
