Synopsis

World Music CONCISE: A Global Journey, Second Edition, introduces students to the diversity of musical expression around the world, taking them across the globe to experience cultural traditions that challenge the ear, the mind, and the spirit. Based on the Fourth Edition, this Second CONCISE Edition serves as an introduction to the many and varied world music traditions. It stays rooted in a solid pedagogical framework and maintains the text’s familiar travel theme while condensing the number of "sites" from 70 to 44. These sites are carefully selected from the existing compilation so as to remain representative of all continents and regions.

Features:

• An easy-to-follow and proven chapter structure, organized by geographic region
• Many Listening Guides, detailed maps, and hundreds of colorful photos
• Coverage of an eclectic blend of world musics, including popular music as well as traditional music
• A two-CD set featuring hours of diverse music examples
• NEW updates from the Fourth Edition carried over to the CONCISE, such as certain dance traditions, and kora and jali
• NEW sites: Bali and Korea
• NEW, dynamic companion website―unique to the Second CONCISE Edition―hosts interactive listening guides and assorted student and instructor resources pulled from the Fourth Edition website, making it a valuable tool for distance learning courses

World Music CONCISE: A Global Journey, Second Edition, provides students and instructors with a fundamental resource as they begin their exploration of world music and culture.
