Soundscapes: Exploring Music in a Changing World

By Kay Kaufman Shelemay

Book Overview

Music doesn't stop at the border, and neither should your textbook. This text gives students a global sense of music and its significance across cultures by introducing them to a diverse repertoire and developing listening skills applicable to all music. An accessible three-part model for listening--sound, setting, and significance--facilitates comparisons of various musical styles and meanings, and with Total Access, Soundscapes provides the digital resources students need to discover new music in a digitally connected world.

I recieved this promptly and in good condition, with the CDs included. The book does a good job of engaging musicology from a multicultural perspective, but at times is quite juvenile in its approach.

I bought this book for my nephew. I haven't received any complaints so I take it that it was a good choice.
