Publisher Description:
America's Musical Landscape is a comprehensive and accessible text that addresses music in the United States from pre-colonial Native American music to today's avant-garde compositions and mainstream hits. Frequent connections to other arts, particularly to the visual arts, add to the book's appeal and enhance understanding of core musical concepts. The text offers an elegant and readable introduction to the fundamentals of music.
