World Music: A Global Journey, Fourth Edition takes students around
the world to experience the diversity of musical expression and
cultural traditions. It is known for its breadth in surveying the
world's major cultures in a systematic study of world music within
a strong pedagogical framework. As one would prepare for any
journey, each chapter starts with background preparation, reviewing
the historical, cultural, and musical overview of the region.
Visits to multiple "sites" within a region provide in-depth studies
of varied musical traditions. Music analysis begins with an
experiential "first impression" of the music, followed by an "aural
analysis" of the sound and prominent musical elements. Finally,
students are invited to consider the cultural connections that give
the music its meaning and life. Fourth Edition features: New sites!
