Product Description

In a shift of emphasis, A History of Western Music places people making choices at the centre of the story, not as peripheral figures in the evolution of musical works and styles. Linking historical and social context directly to musical practice and styles, the book is organised around three central themes: people making choices; the tension between cultural tradition and musical innovation; and the values and tastes of producers and consumers. This edition restructures the text for greater accessibility, breaking it into small chapters within six sections; these are linked to form a single narrative thr

3.0 out of 5 stars HUH What book?, January 29, 2009
I purchased this book for my son. It's brand new wrapped. I didn't noticed that the book is for INTERNATIONAL Student "not for US or CANADA". Why did they sell it in US?!?!? I hope it's not a wrong kind of book for my son's college!!!! I can't return it because my son already took the wrap off!!
