The author investigates this role, examining the features of human perception that enable music's uncanny ability to provoke, despite its myriad forms across continents and throughout centuries, the sense of a shared human experience.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Higgins has written a wonderfully comprehensive book about nothing less than to what extent music is a universal phenomenon.... The author contends that though there appears to be dramatic variation across cultures, music universally reflects humans' common ways of behaving-for instance, in connection with longing and mourning-and serves to physically instruct one on how to comport oneself in society.... A welcome contribution to cross-cultural (and cross-species) philosophy of music....
