Repertoriul muzical terapeutic din antichitate până în zilele noastre
The therapeutic musical repertoire from antiquity to the present day

Summary/Abstract: This article describes the evolution of music therapy from its ancient origins to its development as a modern scientific discipline. Music has long been viewed as a healing force: shamans used it in rituals to expel evil spirits, and in the Biblical tradition, David played to soothe King Saul. In ancient Greece, music was considered a tool for shaping character and restoring balance between body and soul. Early Christianity used hymns to offer comfort and hope to the suffering. The Renaissance introduced a more scientific perspective, based on humoral theory and the physiological effects of rhythm and melody, while during the Romantic period, music therapy expanded to include listening sessions, composition, and live performance. The 20th century marked the professionalization of music therapy, with the development of training programs and dedicated associations. Today, music therapy is recognized as a complex discipline that supports healing in a wide range of medical settings.
