An appreciation of music depends on several factors: the ability to
understand differences in musical style, past and present; the
reasoning behind the exploration, development and acceptance of new
resources for music; the performer's attitudes toward
interpretation; and the investigations and general critical
writings of scholars.
With 56 articles by musicologists, composers, performers, music
sociologists and educators from around the world, the "Companion"
presents the most comprehensive survey of current musical thought.
The "Companion" sheds light on all aspects of music scholarship
and practice. Its volumes provide a fascinating cross-section of
ideas which will undoubtedly stimulate much study and debate.
Compiled by leading figures of the international music community
under a prestigious editorial team, the "Companion" reflects
today's attitudes and practices in one, unified source.
The "Companion" is organized in four parts, which examine
cultural, technological, structural and performance practice
viewpoints. "Part One" examines the relationship between people and
music; the second presents a unique exploration and analysis of
music and modern technology. In the third part, the structure of
music is explained, including the very latest research in core
concepts. The final section covers the complex issues of
interpretation, looking at how present-day performers and scholars
should approach the instruments and performers of the past.
Written in an accessible style, the "Companion" brings a wider
understanding of music to it readers, and addresses key curriculum
questions for the future. The extensive index, glossary, and
bibliographies encourage the readerto explore music from a variety
of angles, and to develop a detailed knowledge of this fascinating
discipline. The "Companion" will be an invaluable textfor both
music enthusiasts and amateur music-makers.
