Book Synopsis Music by : Jean Ferris
Book excerpt: Emphasizing music in the context of the society that surrounds it, "Music: The Art of Listening" weaves the development of Western music into the fabric of cultural history, paying special attention to the biographies of significant composers. In a clear and accessible format, it introduces music from centuries past as well as that of the current era, and helps the listener develop techniques to fully appreciate music in public performance halls, on the radio, in films, or in the theater. Among the highlights of this seventh edition is a greatly expanded selection of Listening Examples, which are available on the text's companion CD set.
