A new edition of the survey text instructing students in the infinite variety of music using a global perspective. Willoughby (Susquehanna U.) develops listening skills and music appreciation by studying folk, jazz, world music, and the classics up to John Cage. It's a user friendly approach supplying some technical terms but emphasizing description, identification, and relational concepts. The appendices note composers, acoustics, instrument listings according to tone, and describe Western notation. The music referred to by the text must be purchased separately. A two-CD or cassette set with 50 examples or a five-CD set with 104 examples are reportedly available. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
