Music Of The Peoples Of The World. Dieser Artikel ist nicht verfügbar.Music Of The Peoples Of The World

This text takes a survey (appreciation style) approach to world music covering 9 music cultures. It focuses on how to listen to and appreciate the music of different cultures and will appeal particularly to students who are non-music majors. The text discusses enough geography and history for the student to connect the music to its social context, while keeping the focus on listening. The text focuses on listening through 1) spotlights on non-Western instruments, and 2) 16 listening guides that track the audio step-by-step, pointing the listener to important characteristics. Many full-color photos and graphics of instruments, musicians, and cultural events help students to understand the context of music in countries with which they may be unfamiliar. The listening guides, music CDs (with full selections that help the student hear significant differences among the music cultures), and Active Listening Tools (allowing students to view instruments and cultural settings while they listen to musical excerpts) further enhance listening and understanding.
