Welcome
Music: A Social Experience, Second Edition offers a thematic approach for the music appreciation course. Through a series of topics—from Music and Spirituality, to Music and War and Music and Gender—the authors present active listening experiences for students to experience music's social and cultural impact. The book offers an introduction to the standard concert repertoire, but also gives equal treatment to world music, rock and popular music, and jazz, for a thorough introduction to today's rich musical world. Through lively narratives and innovative activities, students can form an understanding of the power of music.
