An encyclopedic history of classical music from its beginnings, this book combines an authoritative text by leading specialists with numerous, attractive, colour illustrations. This volume begins with the most fundamental questions about music, and then traces the early history and principal distinguishing features of the Western tradition. The core of the book is a series of studies covering Church and secular music in the Middle Ages, the vocal and instrumental music of the Renaissance, Monteverdi and the development of opera and oratorio, Baroque music in Germany, Italy, and France, the lives and works of J.S. Bach and George Frideric Handel, and the nature and import of the Classical style as embodied in the works of Gluck, Mozart, and Haydn. It also includes special discussions of the basis of Western harmony, music at the court of the Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I, Baroque stage machinery, Henry Purcell and English stage music, the Baroque organ, the 18th century orchestra, and the development of the keyboard concerto.

In encyclopedic style, this book chronicles 19th century Romanticism in music from its first stirrings in the works of the Classical masters to late manifestations in the operas of Puccini and the versimo school. The music of Beethoven and Schubert is given special attention. After a general discussion of Romantic music, the book traces currents of historicism and revolution in Romantic opera from Weber through Puccini, in orchestral music, with particular reference to Weber and Berlioz, and in the distinctive piano styles of Chopin, Mendelssohn, and Schumann. The book also offers concise discussions of important trends and issues such as the transition from the harpsichord to the pianoforte, Goethe's influence on music, technical advances in the making of wind instruments that revolutionized the orchestra, the rise of travelling virtuosos, the development of the Romantic ballet, and the enormous impact of Eugène Scribe and the Parisian grand opera.

Heritage of Music, Volume III: The Nineteenth-Century Legacy
(Print-Non-Fiction). Raeburn, Michael and Kendall, Alan, eds. Oxford University Press (OUP), 1989. 320 p. ISBN 0-19-505372-9 ($88.95 hdc.).
In encyclopedic style, this volume of Heritage of Music focuses on the latter half of the 19th century, a period of explosive change in politics and, ultimately, the very language of music. The composers and works discussed are cornerstones of the standard repertoire and cover a vast range of styles and eras. It follows Romanticism from the 1820's to after World War II. Two major themes emerge: the search for musical renewal and authenticity in national or folk idioms, as seen in the careers of Liszt, Borodin, Musorgsky, Rimsky-Korsakov, Smetana, and Dvorák; and the still nearly overpowering influence of Beethoven, which had such radically different results in the works of Wagner, Brahms, and Mahler. The history of this dramatic century is filled out with major essays on Tchaikovsky, Franck, Saint-Saäns, and studies of national styles in France, Russia, and Scandinavia, the rise of the Russian ballet, and more. Included are a table of contents, a biographical dictionary of composers, and an index.

This remarkable look at one of America's greatest cultural contributions casts a fresh eye on standard assumptions about a music many view as the soul of the American nation. Francis Davis not only looks at the roots of the music and the lives of some of its most notable performers, but also places the blues in context today: whites flock to urban clubs and festivals celebrating a "folk" art form born in the rural South even as most black performers have chosen other forms of musical expression. Tracing the blues from its origins in the Mississippi Delta in the early decades of this century to its amplification in Chicago right after World War II, Davis argues for an examination of this enduring music in its own right, not just as a precursor to jazz and rock 'n' roll. The text is interspersed with a few black-and-white photographs. Included are a table of contents, a selected discography, a bibliography, a blues timeline, and an index.
