Publisher's Summary

A concise survey of the music of Western popular and classical traditions. The origins and interactions of blues, jazz, and rock are covered under the heading of popular music. However, the evolution of the classical tradition within Western culture is the primary focus of the book. The most important composers and their best known works are examined within the context of the times in which they lived.
