Description

A History of Music in Western Culture 2/e is based on the premise that the best way to convey the history of Western music is to focus squarely on the music. Organized around a carefully selected repertory of works, this text integrates the requisite names, dates, and concepts around specific compositions. Once familiar with a representative body of music, students can better grasp the evolution of musical style and music's changing uses within the Western tradition. Even more importantly, they will have a sound basis from which to explore other musical works and repertories. This text builds its narrative around the core repertory represented in the Anthology of Scores and the corresponding sets of compact discs.

Mark Evan Bonds wrote A History of Music in Western Culture to help students to gain a broad understanding of the nature of music, its role in society, and the ways in which these have changed over time. This text seeks to challenge students to think critically about its subject. The history of music is too often presented (and learned) as one long series of indisputable facts. The author integrated into this text enough primary source documents: excerpts from composers' letters, contemporary reviews, theoretical treatises, and the like to demonstrate the ways in which the raw materials of history can be open to conflicting interpretations. Indeed, the most interesting historical issues tend to be precisely those about which experts disagree.

Features

Do you believe that the best way to convey the history of Western music is to focus squarely on the music?

The narrative of A History of Music in Western Culture is closely integrated with the accompanying Anthology of Scores and the corresponding sets of compact discs. Every work in the Anthology gets discussed in the text, called out with an icon in the margin cross referenced to both the scores and recordings.
- Makes it easy for students to use the book, CDs, and scores together.
NEW! Performance Practice boxes. Within each historical era, alternative performances of at least one work are examined in detail. For the Baroque era, for example, students can compare excerpts from Bach's "Goldberg" Variations as performed by Blandine Verlet, playing on an 18th-century harpsicord, and by Glenn Gould, playing a 20th-century concert grand piano.
- Students have the opportunity to compare and discuss strikingly different ways of realizing the same work.
NEW! Expanded repertory. New works in the second edition include excepts from Paganini's Caprices and Liszt's Transcendental Etudes (integrated into an expanded discussion of instrumental virtuosity in the 19th century), the second movement of
Dvorák's New World Symphony (integrated into an expanded discussion of nationalism in the 19th century), and W. C. Handy's St. Louis Blues (integrated into an expanded discussion of jazz forms and performance traditions in the 20th century).
- Provides students with more varied works to study.
A graphic summary of style differences in each part.
- Highlights the principal differences in musical style between each era (Renaissance vs. Medieval; Baroque vs. Renaissance, etc.)
Composer Profiles. Include key biographical information and a survey of principal works.
- Shows students the life behind the music.

What features in a text do you use to show the history and evolution of music?

NEW! Full-color throughout the text. Now richly illustrated with carefully chosen images drawn from the period under discussion. Detailed captions reveal the wealth of information about music, composers, and their role in society embedded in these artworks. More than two dozen new illustrations have been added to the second edition.
- Increases attractiveness of the book and catches the attention of visual learners.
Primary Evidence Boxes. Contain exerpts from relevant contemporary documents such as composers' letters, dedications, contracts, and critics' reviews. A brief introduction places each selection in its context and challenges students to think about the interpretation of historical evidence.
- Exposes students to the raw materials of music history.
Each of the six parts of the text begins with a prelude including one or more maps.
- Familiarizes students with the historical and social background of each era. The first chapter in each part provides an overview of the major stylistic characteristics and theoretical concerns of the music of the era.
A comparative timeline. Lists major musical events side-by-side with other significant historical events.
- Shows the historical context of the music.

Do you use an anthology of scores in your course?

Two volumes of anthologies are available for this text. Volume I covers Antiquity through the Baroque Era; Volume II covers music of the Classical Era to the present.
The works in the anthologies have been carefully selected to represent the developments in music history discussed in the text. Every selection in the Anthology of Scores is discussed in the text.
NEW! New works. New selections illustrating 19th-century virtuosity, 19th-century nationalism, and 20th-century jazz have been added.
NEW! Improved editions. New editions of selected works have been provided as needed. The excerpt from Lully's Armide, for example, now comes from the new (2003) edition of the composer's complete works. Selected elements of the plain-chant Mass ordinary, in turn, are presented in the modern chant notation of the Liber usualis, providing students with exposure to a different (but widely used) notational system for this repertory.
NEW! Integrated commentary. Excerpts from the text are now integrated into the score anthology at the end of each selection, providing students iwth basic information and a brief discussion of every work.
NEW! Improved cross-referencing to text and recordings. Each selection in the anthology opens with a clear cross-reference to the recorded version of the work (disc and track number) and to the discussion of the work within the text with page number. In addition, the score and recordings in the anthology now correspond exactly within their chronological span (Volume I of each through the Baroque Era; Volume II of each since the Classical Era).
NEW! Internal trackings keyed to recordings. Most longer works now have internal tracks on the recordings; these points are clearly indicated throughout the anthology for each of use by students and instructors alike.

Do you use a recorded anthology in your course?

Fifteen compact discs complement the text and Anthology of Scores. Produced by Naxos of America in close coordination with Prentice Hall, these recordings draw on the resources of many different recording labels and feature some of the most distinguished artists and ensembles of our time, such as the Gothic Voices, Anonymous 4, the Hilliard Ensemble, the Orlando Consort, Les Arts Florissants, the Concerto Italiano, the English Baroque Soloists, and the Quatuor Mosaiques. Representative soloists include Paul O'Dette, Louis Bagger, Emily van Evera, Malcolm Bilsson, and Jessye Norman. The discs are arranged chronologically and mirror the content and structure of the anthology.
NEW! New works. New selections illustrating 19th-century virtuosity, 19th-century nationalism, and 20th-century jazz have been added.
NEW! Internal trackings. Most longer works now have internal trackings, cross-referenced in the anthology of scores. This makes it easier for students to follow complex notation and to skip to specific structural movements in any given work, such as the beginning of the recapitulation in a sonata-form work or the beginning of a new text section in a vocal work.
NEW! Alternative performances. For each historical era, at least one work is provided with an alternative performance, available on the supplement compact disc built into the textbook. The frottola El grillo, ascribed to Josquin de Prez, for example, is performed in its notated version by four voices in Volume One of the Recorded Anthology; the Supplemental Disc offers an additional, very different realization of this same work by a solo singer accompanying herself on the lute. Students are thereby encouraged to think about the many options available to them as performers for all music of all eras.
