Description
Christian Lehmann brings his experience as a musicologist, singer and academic to this fascinating journey through the origins of music and its role in human development, culture and society.

Well-chosen examples and amusing asides help to make this a highly informative and extremely readable book - a must for anyone interested in the development of music and how integral it is to the human condition.
