5 out of 5 stars Clearly written and beautifully illustrated   August 5, 2008

2 out of 2 found this review helpful

Browsing through this book when I found it in Borders, I lost all track of time and found I'd copped a parking fine when I got back to the multi-storey where I'd left my wheels. That says something for how absorbing a read it is.

The authors' approach is to set the history of music in the religious, political and social milieux that have influenced its development. They trace the history of music from ancient times to the present day. The text is exceptionally clearly written, superbly illustrated and has notated examples throughout. As well as the main text there is an excellent glossary and extensive suggestions for further reading.

I found its analysis of form and texture a little difficult to follow but that in no way spoiled my enjoyment. Since buying it I've read it, browsed it and dipped into again and again. IMO It would be good value at twice the price.
