Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Designed especially for students with very little background in Western concert music, this book/cassette (or CD) package focuses on learning how to listen and understand music that spans periods from 600 up to the present. It sets each major musical period in its social, historical and economic milieu. This edition provides greater emphasis on women composers and artists, as well as featuring several new appendices and an improved illustration programme (photos and graphics) throughout. It should be suitable for first and second year students on courses in music appreciation and introduction to music.

4.0 out of 5 stars Listening To Music, August 2, 2000
By Dr. Martha J. Reeder (Little Rock, Arkansas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Listening to Music (Paperback)
I like this book because it is concise and uncomplicated. Itpresents the material in a logical sequence. I am impressed that it stresses the importance of becoming an "aware" concert goer. Most musicians discount the fact their audiences must be educated to really enjoy and support the arts.

The book covers many major works and gives listening guides to help the student follow and understand the works. The works selected show a very nice cross-section of different styles. I am considering using this book, at least as a reference source in an introductory music literature course that I teach.

Very well organized. The reader will never become lost in it. Excellent choices of musical examples. Martin Bookspan's commentary is superb.
