I watched a documentary on PBS called "Science and song: The Music Instinct" a couple of nights ago.
There's no doubt there's something about music that can resonate deep within our soul. Listening to a masterpiece of any kind can shake the very foundation of our being. The question is what is the role of music in humanity? Did music in fact come before language? Or is it merely a derivative of language and somewhat inconsequential as Steven Pinker asserts?
At one point in the show, I wondered if in fact some languages were indeed "created" to be musical. Italian is often regarded as a "musical" language. Why is this? Can language and music overlap?
For all its reputation for being an art form for free spirits, there's also something quite strict and rigid about music. Rules are enforced (although jazz pushes this frontier) to ensure everyone in an orchestra or band work in an efficient way to create harmonic and melodic sounds that can affect us all.
Then there's the lyrics that are added to a piece of music. How can, for example, a person like me living in Quebec connect so well to rock songs by John Mellencamp and Bruce Springsteen steeped in American folklore? Maybe it's not so difficult given our geographical proximity and shared history but what to make of Springteen's legion of fans around the world? What's in his lyrics that captivates so many?
Since we're on the subject of music, I'll take a second to mention Michael Jackson. I tend to appreciate the music of the Jackson 5 than Michael Jackson's solo career. I don't own any of his albums but I do crack open the Jackson 5 from time to time.
However, there's no doubting the innovative brilliance of Michael Jackson. He is without a doubt, bizarre personal life notwithstanding, an iconic pop culture figure. I do agree he stands next to Elvis and Frank in many ways. You may not have connected to the man or music, but you can't deny the cultural and musical impact and legacy.
