Books by Joseph Goddard

A new fifth edition of a well-established and popular introduction to all aspects of life in the US, fully updated to take into account the latest key domestic and international developments.

Published in 1862, these essays present the theories of the philosopher and historian Joseph Goddard (1833-1910) on the connection between music and the human mind. They show how musical phenomena such as rhythm, tone and phrase are more effective than any other art form in expressing thought and morality.
