Product Description
In three richly illustrated volumes, over 25,000 entries open up a world of musical culture, its terms, musicians, instruments, and genres, all in language students will understand and enjoy reading. Entries cover popular, jazz, and world as well as classical music, to include the artists and the styles students want to know more about, from gamelan and Percy Grainger to Max Roach, R.E.M. and Rachmaninoff. The text maintains the eloquence and humor that have made Baker's the music reference of choice for 100 years, while offering more concise entries appropriate in tone and level for the student reader. Enhanced with over 250 illustrations, interesting facts and timelines, Baker's Student Encyclopedia of Music provides readers of all ages with an easy-to-use reference guide to all things musical.
