A Mind Roused by Music

  • A clip from the documentary Alive Inside shows us a man named Henry who suffers from dementia. Eyes cast downward, he has trouble answering the simplest yes or no questions. Immanuel Kant once called music “the quickening art”, and nowhere else is it more apparent than when Henry is presented with music. He regains his mental acuity, and the difference is like night and day.

    My dad who's Alzheimer's has now gotten progressively worse was at a time like Henry. I used to play the music he listened to in his youth and found him responsive in actually singing the songs and being able to answer several questions. The power of music is amazing.

      Do you think it has helped to slow the progression at all? I'm doing a music event and been talking with some ppl, about what we can put together after my event!!

    Dementia is the huge, hideous, heavy, iron door of a solitary confinement cell.
    Music is a key that, even if just for a moment, allows the person to unlock that horrid door and get a glimpse of themself again.

      @@tacomeme429 It's more like a blank. When I woke up from a coma I just opened my eyes and felt like any amount of time could have passed by. Two seconds or 2 years. I didn't have any dreams or feelings. Just a blank

    This is the same reason why Ozzy is senile and barely coherent, until he gets on stage and then he's singing and dancing like he's suddenly 20 years younger. That's the healing power of music.
