Description
"Music of the World" is a study of the worldwide development of music, both theory and practice, from its origins right up to the present day. An overall introduction sets the scene and explains the importance of music in human society as a whole. Seven main chapters then give a continent-by-continent guide to the major influences and achievements that have shaped the history of music through the ages. Key themes and incidents are cross-referenced throughout and an up-to-date survey of current trends shows what effects the impact of modern technology has had on contemporary music as a whole. - from Amzon
