One of the finest achievements of Western culture is its
brilliant heritage of classical music. A Gift of Music looks at the
lives of the greatest composers who have given us this heritage,
and especially at how their music was shaped by their beliefs.
The result is a remarkable and inspiring book, showing the
importance of Christian faith for many composers, and the effect of
this upon their music. But it also shows how the lack of faith has
brought profound change in the meaning and form of contemporary
music.
Thus A Gift of Music seeks to open up a whole new world of
music--to encourage listening to the finest compositions with new
understanding and pleasure, and to stretch our ears and
imaginations. It is a book which will be greatly appreciated by
those who already love classical music, and by others who want to
explore this delightful world for the first time.
