Introduction to Western Concert Music connects the music of a particular time and place within the scope of the ideas and beliefs circulating in that time and place. By illustrating such connections, readers come to an understanding of music as a social as well as sonic experience. 

Featuring a textbook, study guide, and 5 CD package, Introduction to Western Concert Music:

Looks to the societies that gave rise to the music, to the music itself, and to the world of ideas swirling around the music.
Explains the difference between formal and informal music knowledge, and how to move beyond appreciation and explore music as an interactive feat in society.
Uses contemporary activities, experiences, and genres to describe the fundamental technical elements, vocabulary and concepts of music. 
Provides a historical overview of stylistic periods of music and society from ancient and Medieval times to postmodernism in contemporary society.
