What songs have a spot on the playlist of your life? What music sparks emotions around specific moments in time? In this episode of the Quantum Potential podcast, Provost C. Cybele Raver and Melanie Lowe, associate professor of musicology, explore the significance and teaching of music from the perspective of the listener and the composer. They examine how the meanings of different genres of music are filtered through time, experience and cultural shifts.
