Music has been significant in social, religious, and political
ritual, and in education, art, and entertainment in all human
cultures from antiquity to today. The Cultural History of Western
Music presents the first study of music in all its forms –
ritual, classical, popular and commercial – from antiquity to
today. The work is divided into 6 volumes, with each volume
covering the same topics, so readers can either study a
period/volume or follow a topic across history. The volumes are: 1.
A Cultural History of Western Music in Antiquity 2. A Cultural
History of Western Music in the Middle Ages 3. A Cultural History
of Western Music in the Renaissance 4. A Cultural History of
Western Music in the Age of Enlightenment 5. A Cultural History of
Western Music in the Industrial Age 6. A Cultural History of
Western Music in the Modern Age The topics are identity,
communities and society; changing philosophies and ideas about
music; politics and power; musical exchange and knowledge transfer
between the West and the non-West; musical education; popular
culture and musical entertainment; the places, practices, and
experiences of performance; and the development of music
technologies and media. The page extent for the pack is
approximately 1712pp. Each volume opens with Notes on Contributors
and an Introduction and concludes with Notes, Bibliography, and an
Index. The Cultural Histories Series A Cultural History of Western
Music is part of The Cultural Histories Series. Titles are
available both as printed hardcover sets for libraries needing just
one subject or preferring a one-off purchase and tangible reference
for their shelves, or as part of a fully-searchable digital library
available to institutions by annual subscription or perpetual
access (see www.bloomsburyculturalhistory.com).
