World Music: Traditions and Transformations

Abstract

"World Music: Traditions and Transformations has long been a market leader among introductory-level textbooks on diverse global music. It assumes no prior education in music and avoids the use of notation. Though written principally for non-music majors, it is appropriate for courses enrolling non-music and music students alike. The work’s unique traditions-and-transformations approach offers a coherent pathway to exploring the world’s music, from ancient to contemporary genres and experimental to top-of-the-charts popular styles."
