Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book artfully traces the evolution of Western music from its earliest roots to the Baroque period. The author charts the development of instrumental and harmonic techniques through insights into the lives and works of prominent composers. The author puts forth a compelling theory on how the role of the Roman Catholic Church affected the course of musical development and provides an invaluable perspective on the formation of musical styles and their impact on broader cultural trends. By contextualizing the changes in music within the larger history of the era, this book provides both a comprehensive history of the art form and a deeper understanding of its aesthetics.
