Review

"Stanley Sadie and Alison Latham agree that art should be viewed within a larger social context, and they bring this perspective to The Cambridge Music Guide, available for the first time in the US. Intended as an expansive reference to Western music for the novice (with sophisticated elements for the aficionadl), the book introduces the fundamental elements of music, followed by its history from the sixth century...to Bach to the Boss." Publishers Weekly

"Stanley Sadie and his colleagues responsible for this publication have given us a fine and informative general music history overview. What distinguishes this work from many other music history texts is the special emphasis that Stanley Sadie has made in puttin this music information into coherent historical contexts. ...a splendid introductory course for the newcomer as well as a fine general reference source for more knowledgeable readers. This is a most welcome volume." Jeffrey Nussbaum, The Historic Brass Society
