Description:
Prepared in conjunction with the Smithsonian/ Folkways Archives, this sets highlights the contributions of Native American, European-American, African American, and Immigrant groups (including Asian, Hispanic, Western and Eastern European cultures) to our rich musical heritage. Within each volume, different groups or genres of music are examined in terms of how they are performed. Maps, charts and photos show how the music has grown and spread and the inter-relationships between musical cultures. Biographies of musicians are included in sidebars, and terms are defined throughout the text.
