Paul Griffiths shows how music has evolved through the centuries, and suggests how its evolution has mirrored developments in the human notion of time, from the eternity of heaven to the computer's microsecond. The book provides an enticing introduction for students and beginners, using the minimum of technical terms, all straightforwardly defined in the glossary. Its perspective and its insights will also make it illuminating for teachers, musicians and music lovers. Suggestions for further reading and recommended recordings are given for each of the 24 short chapters.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 213mmItem Length: 137mmItem Width: 23mmItem Weight: 480gAuthor: Paul GriffithsGenre: Music Dance & TheatreRelease Year: 2009 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
