Routledge Anthology to accompany GATEWAYS TO UNDERSTANDING MUSIC

Product Description This anthology to accompany Gateways to Understanding Music is comprised of musical "texts." These broadly defined texts―primarily musical scores―facilitate the integration of score study and music theory into the ethno/musicology curriculum, a necessary focus in the training of the professional musician. As posed by the textbook, the last question in each modular "gateway" is "Where do I go from here?" This resource provides one more opportunity to go beyond the textbook to examine music scores and texts in even greater depth. This anthology is a combination of primary sources for study: musical scores and music transcriptions, along with a few primary source documents and musical exercises. Review Praise for GATEWAYS TO UNDERSTANDING MUSIC: "At last! An innovative, practical, and inclusive approach to studying music of Europe, North America, and beyond that puts popular and world music, American jazz, and European classical music into conversation with one another by looking at their origins and interrelationships through the lens of World history." Anne K. Rasmussen, Professor, The College of William and Mary "Gateways to Understanding Music provides a profoundly new and refreshingly original approach to examining the music of the world’s cultures in cohesive, comparable, and contrasting ways that illuminate the power and meaning of all of the musics."
