Description
"Gateways to Understanding Music, Second Edition explores music in all the categories that constitute contemporary musical experience: European classical, popular, jazz, and world music. Covering the oldest forms of human music making to the newest, this chronology presents music from a global rather than a Eurocentric perspective. Each of sixty "gateways" addresses a particular genre, style, or period of music. Every gateway opens with a guided listening example that unlocks a world of music through careful study of its structural elements. How did the piece come to be composed or performed? How did it respond to the social and cultural issues at the time, and what does that music mean today? Students learn to listen to, explain, understand, and ultimately value the music they encounter in their world. New to this edition are a broader selection of musical examples that reflect the values of diversity, equity, and inclusion advocated by North American universities. Timelines are added to each gateway to help students see the comparative history. The book continues to employ a website to host the audio examples and instructor's resources"--
