NOTE THAT SINCE THE BOOK WEIGHS OVER ONE POUND, THERE MAY BE ADDITIONAL SHIPPING CHARGES IF YOU REQUIRE PRIORITY MAIL OR LIVE OUTSIDE THE U.S. XX [from the dust jacket] "Modern music," too long an intimidating term, has over the past decade become something else entirely: an adventurous, accessible, and appealing medium. Composers are returning to tonality, giving it new life by way of Minimalism (Philip Glass, Steve Reich), free-form jazz (Art Ensemble of Chicago), a revival of impressionism (Windham Hill Records), borrowings from ethnic music (Talking Heads, Kitaro), experiments with the human voice (David Hykes, Meredith Monk), and extensions of rock and roll to new boundaries (Laurie Anderson, Brian Eno). John Schaefer, whose nationally syndicated radio program "New Sounds" has become a favorite with thousands of listeners, has written here an authoritative and engaging guide to the world of contemporary music and its composers and performers. For each category of music Schaefer includes historical background, interviews or biographies of its leading figures, helpful guidance on how to listen to unfamiliar forms (such as Indian ragas and Indonesian gamelan music), and critical discographies of over 2,000 recordings. For the disaffected rock fan, the knowledgeable classical music lover, or the simply curious listener, NEW SOUNDS is the ideal introduction to the full range and richness of today's music.
