Music by Jean Ferris
This text is a non-technical introduction for the listener. In addition to the coverage of the western classical tradition, it includes explorations of six musical cultures, vernacular music and jazz. There is a minimal use of musical notation that helps prevent student intimidation, helping them to focus on listening and understanding. Chapters end with suggestions for further listening, critical thinking questions, key terms and suggestions for further reading. This edition has listening examples that include gabrieli, Amy Beach, Charles Ives, Dizzy Gillespie and James DeMars, as well as examples from India, Africa, Turkey, Islam, North America and the Far East.| SKU | Unavailable |
