Feeling Music

Sarah Walker is joined by John Sloboda and Aaron Williamon, international authorities on the psychology of music, to explore the science behind music's ability to stir emotions.

'What passion cannot Music raise and quell?' asked the 17th-century poet John Dryden in his Ode to Saint Cecilia. Down the ages, music's unique ability to stir our emotions has frequently been acknowledged. Live from Radio 3's pop-up studio at Wellcome Collection caf茅, Sarah Walker finds out how and why it moves us with the help of two internationally known authorities on the psychology of music, John Sloboda and Aaron Williamon.
