SO WHATS THE POINT OF MUSIC?
It is a well-documented fact that music is the most popular form of art. It
can be used to fit in with the emotional moods of people and also to influence
them in a manipulative way. (1) __D____; more subtle are the melodies played in
stores to encourage us to spend money.
Yet scientists are unable to explain the purpose of music, above all to
account for the existence of simple musical instruments such as flutes among our
prehistoric ancestors. (2) ______. Nor does it enable us to live longer or pass on
our genes to the next generation. One theory to explain these instruments is that
they had a sexual value. (3) ______. But it is doubtful whether the primitive tunes
they could have produced would have made the player more appealing.
Modern psychologists who are themselves musicians argue that it would.
(4) ______. Sceptics may counter this with the argument that women dont
necessarily rate them more highly than others. But what does seem to be the
case is that they respond to them if they have a good musical ear themselves.
What is beyond doubt is the conclusion that music speaks to the heart.
There is equally conclusive evidence that it produces emotion. (5) ______. Certain
pieces of music induce changes in the body that correspond to the emotions they
are intended to touch. Sad music causes the pulse to slacken and the blood
pressure to rise. (6) ______.
How are these effects produced? Scientists have discovered that loud music
stimulates a part of the inner ear called the sacculus, which is connected to the
pleasure centre of the brain. (7) ______. Curiously enough, the sacculus only exists
in human beings and in fish, and it responds only to music, not to other forms of
sound.
A. Musical talent can indicate a number of qualities.
B. The evidence is startlingly direct.
C. Songs with lyrics appeal to a brain already used to language.
D. The sound tracks of films are an obvious example.
E. Musical competence suggests the ability to co-operate with others.
F. Happy songs have the opposite effect.
G. It is not a primary form of communication, like language.
