Description:
In part a compendium of information currently available, in part a dialectical examination of musical causation and function, this book contains a wide-ranging survey of musics of the world in historical and social contexts, from ancient times to the present day. It aims to lead students, teachers, and, in general those who practice Western music, towards a deeper understanding of the various musical traditions that contribute to the modern, multicultural environment.
