Published in 1871, the book explores the relationship between music and morality, arguing that music has a profound effect on human behavior and character. The book is divided into two parts. The first part discusses the moral influence of music, examining the impact of different types of music on the listener's emotions and behavior. Haweis argues that music has the power to inspire virtue or vice, and that it can be used to promote social harmony and moral progress.The second part of the book focuses on the history and theory of music, exploring the origins of music and its role in human culture. Haweis discusses the different styles and genres of music, and examines the ways in which they reflect the values and beliefs of the societies that produce them.Throughout the book, Haweis draws on his own experiences as a musician and musicologist, as well as on the insights of philosophers, theologians, and other thinkers. He writes in a clear and engaging style, making complex ideas accessible to a general audience.Overall, Music and Morals is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of the relationship between music and human morality, and it remains a classic work in the field of musicology.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
