America's Musical Landscape addresses the broad range of music in the United States from early periods to today.This comprehensive yet accessible text offers an elegant and readable introduction to the fundamentals of music, assuming no prior music experience for the student. Frequent connections to other arts, particularly the visual arts, add to the book's appeal and enhance understanding of core musical concepts. The sixth edition emphasizes vernacular over classical music and recent examples over early music, while offering generous coverage of the complete American musical landscape.

Music An Appreciation - 5 Audio CD Set Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this 5 CD set as required for school. The price was great and the shipping was prompt. The problem is with the discs. They are labeled correctly, but the content is wrong. Disc 1 and 5 are the same. Disc 2 and 4 are the same. So essentially, I didnt get CD's 2 and 5. As a result I will likely not pass the course or be forced to drop.. Thanks for the great "deal"..

Music: An Appreciation Brief Edition with 5-CD Set Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this for my music appreciation class, so I was required to make the purchase....but I have to say that I am enjoying the class and this book. The book covers music, starting with the basics of music, then on into Middle Ages Music, Renaissance music etc. The CDs that come with this book offers a very nice collection of music.
