I would like to extend my thanks to Dr Kristin Precoda for drawing my attention to the
work of Werner regarding the Mekranoti Indians, and to Dr David Wessel for drawing my
attention to Freeman’s work concerning oxytocin. This lecture was originally presented at
the Department of Music, University of California, Santa Barbara, 6 March 1998. A short-
ened version was presented at the Society for Music Perception and Cognition Conference,
Evanston, Illinois, 16 August 1999.
