This review is from: An Introduction to Music and Art in the Western World (Paperback)
This is an excellent chronological overview of the art, music and architecture of the Western world. It's well written and the color illustrations are well chosen and helpful. All in all, it's a good way to brush up on a few thousand years of cultural history in a short time.

Excellent, but watch for bad copies,

This review is from: An Introduction to Music and Art in the Western World (Paperback)
I use this text in a 100 level Music and Art appreciation class I teach at the university level. This book is generally excellent until the last chapter, where the emphasis they place on modern art has proven, over the last 15 years since this edition was last updated, to be a little bit out of date. In fairness, more in the art areas than the music areas. Art is an area where value changes over time, and that shows in the last chapter. However, I feel the rest of the text is superb, and works well for my course, and with my students. I cannot seem to locate another combined art and music book that works better.

Simply the Best,

This review is from: An introduction to music and art in the Western World (Music series) (Paperback)
It doesn't get much better than this. Substantive and always interesting, I used this with great success for several years teaching music appreciation at the University level. Works equally as well as a supplement to art appreciation and humanism. Sometimes out of print, so get it when you can.
