Soundscapes: Exploring Music in a Changing World, Second Edition

By Kay Kaufman Shelemay

Book Overview

Soundscapes breaks new ground by organizing the study of world music according to its cultural significance, rather than by geography alone. The Second Edition provides even better coverage of the cultures surrounding the music and focuses more closely on honing students' listening skills. The Second Edition also features a striking new design, new chapter organization, and expanded listening guides. This edition contains only the Soundscapes textbook. The textbook with the CDs (ISBN 978-0-393-16713-9), and the CDs alone (ISBN 978-0-393-10684-8) are each available separately.

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.
