About This Book

The authors trace the development of music from its prehistoric beginnings through the music of ancient peoples, the Greeks and Orientals, medieval church practices, troubadours and folk traditions, Renaissance motets and madrigals, and the rise of opera and oratorio. They survey Baroque, Classical, and Romantic eras, profile key composers and instrument evolution, and explore national schools and American contributions up to early twentieth-century currents. Written for young readers, the narrative emphasizes clear explanations, illustrations, and how social, religious, and technological forces shaped musical forms.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

Our book has had friends other than its authors. It has, in fact, had makers as well as authors, so it cannot go out into the world without proclaiming its “thank-yous.” First it would thank Flora Bernstein, its indefatigable and patient typist, editor and general adviser, who worked night and day for many moons; second, it must thank Dorothy Lawton of the Music Library of the City of New York for her graceful but poignant criticism, and third it must thank Grace Bliss Stewart, who did some research and anything needed.
