Editorial Reviews:
Review:

"[O]ne of the great cultural monuments of our day, the product of a mind as humane and morally focused as it is technically assured. There is not a page without insight, and not a chapter that does not fundamentally change the reader's perspective on its subject matter, by making connections and comparisons that call on the author's amazing store of musical and cultural knowledge."

Times Literary Supplement, 07/15/2005

Book Description: Oxford University Press Inc, United States, 2009. Multiple copy pack. Book Condition: New. 385 x 264 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery. The Oxford History of Western Music is a magisterial survey of the traditions of Western music by one of the most prominent and provocative musicologists of our time. This text illuminates, through a representative sampling of masterworks, those themes, styles, and currents that give shape and direction to each musical age. Taking a critical perspective, this text sets the details of music, the chronological sweep of figures, works, and musical ideas, within the larger context of world affairs and cultural history. Written by an authoritative, opinionated, and controversial figure in musicology, The Oxford History of Western Music provides a critical aesthetic position with respect to individual works, a context in which each composition may be evaluated and remembered. Taruskin combines an emphasis on structure and form with a discussion of relevant theoretical concepts in each age, to illustrate how the music itself works, and how contemporaries heard and understood it. It also describes how the context of each stylistic period-key cultural, historical, social, economic, and scientific events-influenced and directed compositional choices.
