Horizon

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

The Three Chord Trick
In England an average of 19 new records are issued every day. In the USA the record industry is worth two billion dollars. What is it about music that appeals to almost everyone everywhere?
Using examples from the Beatles to Bushmen, from the Eskimos to Bach, tonight's Horizon looks at the factors, physical, psychological and social, that make up the magic of music.
Just how far can we succumb to the influence of music? The programme examines the work of the Muzak Corporation of the USA, whose carefully programmed product could be moving on from the supermarkets and restaurants of today to the schools and colleges of tomorrow.
