A concise survey of popular and classical musical traditions in Western culture. The origins and interactions of blues, jazz, and rock are covered under the heading of popular music. The evolution of the classical tradition, however, is the primary focus of the book. The most important composers and their best-known works are examined within the context of the times in which they lived.
