This volume of Finney's writings is one of the products of his year (1982-83) as holder of the Endowed Chair in Music at the University of Alabama. From among his many essays, public lectures, and speeches, 20 titles have been selected to express the essence of Finney's thoughts about music and culture, some appearing here for the first time in print.
