Music Therapy
Abbey Press
Foreword
“If music be the food of love, play on,” wrote William Shakespeare in Twelfth Night. And linking music with food and love is just another example of the Bard’s genius. Music, after all—like food—has the ability to fill us, to satisfy those parts of our souls that hunger to express joy, longing, regret, sadness, sheer delight. And, like love, music has the ability to touch our hearts, to make us aware of people and places and events that have permanently imprinted themselves in our lives with melodies both sweet and sad.
This little book is written for anyone for whom music is a part of life. It offers reflections and guides to unlock the melodies that are part of life’s composition, and to celebrate those sounds with thanksgiving in our hearts and a tune on our lips.
