A preeminent composer, music scholar, and biographer presents an
engaging and accessible introduction to classical music For many of
us, classical music is something serious -- something we study in
school, something played by cultivated musicians at fancy
gatherings. In Language of the Spirit, renowned music scholar Jan
Swafford argues that we have it all wrong: classical music has
something for everyone and is accessible to all. Ranging from
Gregorian chant to Handel's Messiah, from Vivaldi's The Four
Seasons to the postmodern work of Philip Glass, Swafford is an
affable and expert guide to the genre. He traces the history of
Western music, introduces readers to the most important composers
and compositions, and explains the underlying structure and logic
of their music. Language of the Spirit is essential reading for
anyone who has ever wished to know more about this sublime art.
