Synopsis
A price-friendly book with a free music compact disk, Masterworks is designed to introduce readers to the most important music of the Western tradition, classical and popular. The CD features the “greatest hits” from the book, encouraging active participation in the musical concepts presented, enabling readers to focus on their own experiences as they come to integrate music into their lives. A comprehensive introduction, called “Hearing the Music”, chronicles composers and performers, and describes the interactive learning experience the book and CD will provide. Topics that follow include: fundamentals of music study; the history of musical style (the Middle Ages and Renaissance, the Baroque, The Classical Style, Romanticism); and music today. For any reader with an interest in learning how to listen, this book/CD package is an excellent start on the road to music appreciation.
