Music & Musicians: An Introduction

Exploring the growth and development of various musical styles throughout history, this book/cassette package shows them as active, changing features of specific historical periods, and explains how all historical styles are relative to existing contemporary musical styles. In discussing music styles as diverse as classical, rock, jazz, rap, studio, even video music, it draws the lines of similarity within these worlds and asks, in essence who are the Bachs and Beethovens of today? How are they different? How are they the same? This title is also available as a book/CD package (ISBN 0-13-103698-X) .
