Anthology for Music in the Baroque

By Wendy Heller

Book Overview

Anthology for Music in the Baroque, part of the Western Music in Context series, is the ideal companion to Music in the Baroque. Twenty-six carefully chosen works--including a lute song by John Dowland, a cantata by Barbara Strozzi, and selections from J. S. Bach's Art of Fugue--offer representative examples of genres and composers of the period. Commentaries following each score present a careful analysis of the music, and online links to purchase and download recordings make listening easier than ever.
