Music and Joy: Lessons on the Good Life by Daniel K. L. Chua

This book explores the connection between music and joy, arguing that music is a key to living well. Drawing on a wide range of sources, from philosophy and theology to music theory, Chua seeks to rediscover the joy that is at the heart of music.

From the classics of Confucius to the writings of Saint Augustine, and from Beethoven to the blues, Chua's journey takes readers on a globe-trotting exploration of the role of music in our lives. A timely and thought-provoking work, Music and Joy offers new insights into the relevance of music in today's world.
