"This book explores what speech, music and other sounds have in common. It gives a detailed description of the way perspective, rhythm, textual quality and other aspects of sound are used to communicate emotion and meaning. It draws on a wealth of examples from radio (disk jockey and newsreading speech, radio plays, advertising jingles, news signature tunes), film soundtracks ( The Piano , The X-files , Disney animation films), music ranging from medieval plain chant to drum 'n' bass and everyday soundscapes."--
