I was reminded last night of the power of music to affect you in a physical way – I don’t pretend to understand how this works, but it is a very real experience as far as I am concerned.\u00a0 Music affects me in many different ways, depending on the nature of the music – soothing to calm me, martial to inspire, the possibilities are endless, but what I want to concentrate on here is the\u00a0tingle factor<\/strong>\u00a0when the power of the music sends a shiver through your body.<\/p>\n

In a previous post I talked about the\u00a0memories<\/a>\u00a0that music can hold.\u00a0 In the sense that memory is commonplace (for most of us) it is perhaps no surprise that particular musical triggers ar responsible for something that has happened in the past become once more clear and at the forefront of our mental ‘vision’.\u00a0 In that post I talked about some of the pieces of music that hold particular memories for me.<\/p>\n

In this post, however, I am talking about music that affects me – despite the fact that there are no specific memories to trigger that response.<\/p>\n

The reason for the post is that I (serendipitously) came across a video on YouTube of the final section of Mahler’s 2nd Symphony – “The Resurrection”.<\/p>\n
