7 - study of prosody in utterances of gelada monkeys. "It also seems likely that geladas singing their sound sequences together synchronously and harmoniously also perhaps experience such a temporary physiological synchrony." (Richman, "Rhythm and Melody in Gelada Vocal Exchanges", Primates, 28(2): 199-223, April 1987.)

12 - Giambattista Vico, "that human beings danced before they walked"

15 - μουσιχὴ "musically determined verse, or music and poetry in one" -- Rousseau "that there was no distinct speech apart from song at the beginning of history".

16 - "Later this primeval language would have split into different branches; music would have retained the articulation mainly by pitch (scale) and duration (rhythm), while language chose the articulation mainly by tone colour (vowels and consonants). Language moreover happened to become the vehicle of rational thought and so underwent further influences." (Ehrenzweig, The Psychoanalysis of Artistic Vision and Hearing.)

97 - Marghanita Laski, Ecstasy.

102 - "I remember sitting at breakfast with Konrad Lorenz who suddenly rose from the table saying ‘I hear the cry of a goose-baby’: a sound which no one else had noticed."

131 - Schopenhauer, consciousness of self as will vs. as object.

143 - Edward Cone, The Composer's Voice. "We can raise our voices without knowing that we are doing so; we can speak in tones which displya an underlying gloom without the least awareness of our self-revelation. By adding music to words, the composer can bring out and emphasize the underlying emotional meaning of those words, irrespective of the insight or lack of insight of the character portrayed."

165 - "Words divide, tones unite. The unity of existence that the word constantly breaks up, dividing thing from thing, subject from object, is constantly restored in the tone. Music prevents the world from being entirely transformed into language [...]" (Zuckerkandl, Man the Musician (Sound and Symbol vol. 2).)
