In this wide-ranging exploration of music and its capacity to heal, Boyce-Tillman sets out a concept of disease as imbalance and offers a model of healing which uses music as a means of creating rebalance. Drawing on literature from philosophy, anthropology, psychology and music, she looks at musical traditions and notions of healing in different societies.
