Music as a Chariot Music as a Chariot: The Evolutionary Origins of Theatre in Time, Sound, and Music the Evolutionary Origins of Theatre in Time, Soun

By Richard K. Thomas

Book Overview

Music as a Chariot offers a multidisciplinary perspective on how Theatre can be considered a type of music, and how that understanding can shape our entire approach to the performing arts. Tracing the origins of time and music, along with the evolutionary neuroscience of the human brain, the author explores how humans evolved to produce and experience the music rooted in the auditory expression of theatre, along with the practical implications of this concept - namely the fundamental techniques practitioners use in scoring theatre.
