Music and Wellbeing have been linked since Ancient Greece though not always as clearly as today’s research shows. There is no one way of listening – for each it is a personal and individual experience not requiring being able to read notation. When music connects it can touch our deepest thoughts and feelings that enlarge our perspective of what it means to be a human being.
The range of music explored during the day –Purcell opera ‘Dido’, Beethoven 4th Piano concerto, Chopin Etude No.2 Op. 25, Taverner ‘Protecting Veil’, Britten Peter Grimes’ ‘Sea Interludes’, Howells ‘Collegium Regale’- will show how memory connects pitches to create melody, how rhythms provide a unity of pulse, all combining in individual forms that can be described and reflected on.
