Music and Music Therapy Interventions in Clinical Practice

This textbook aims to provide practical and comprehensive guidance on the application of music and music therapy in clinical settings. The chapters are written with an evidence-based approach. The first part of the volume defines the psychological, biological, and neuroscientific basis of the therapeutic use of music. Then, various chapters describe the main application techniques (both active and receptive) exploring their therapeutic rationale, purposes, applications in preventive and therapeutic-rehabilitation settings, and possible methods of assessment. An overview of the main clinical areas addressed by music-based therapeutic interventions is also presented, including references to scientific literature, systematic and meta-analytic reviews as well as studies with rigorous methodologies (Randomized Controlled Trials). The final chapter focuses on research, outlining the current state of the art and possible future scenarios within this specific context. The authors of this book are scholars and practitioners in music therapy and related disciplines with recognized experience in clinical and research settings. This book will be an invaluable tool for individuals with an interest in music therapy and its application in clinical settings, such as students studying music therapy, practicing music therapists, researchers, and professionals in related disciplines.

Music Printing in Renaissance Venice

Venetian music print culture of the mid-sixteenth century is presented here through a study of the Scotto press, one of the foremost dynastic music publishers of the Renaissance. For over a century, the house of Scotto played a pivotal role in the international book trade, publishing in a variety of fields including philosophy, medicine, religion, and music. This book examines the mercantile activities of the firm through both a historical study, which illuminates the wide world of the Venetian music printing industry, and a catalog, which details the music editions brought out by the firm during its most productive period. A valuable reference work, this book not only enhances our understanding of the socioeconomic and cultural history of Renaissance Venice, it also helps to preserve our knowledge of a vast musical repertory.
