The next musical fad?
Here’s an interesting article at the New York Times on music and medicine. To paraphrase, some researchers (pseudoresearchers?) claim that certain musical motifs, deployed appropriately, can be beneficial in regulating conditions such as anxiety, depression, insomnia, etc.
I recall a related story (no link, unfortunately) in which someone claimed that the iambic hexameter of Greek poetry had beneficial health effects. But let’s be honest, the ancient Greeks had a lot more physical activity as well, climbing mountains and rowing triemes and running marathons.
