The Harvard Dictionary of Music & History of Western Music
This iconic one-volume music dictionary includes authoritative entries on all styles and forms of Western music, but also includes great articles on the music of Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Near East. There are also descriptions of instruments as well as entries on popular music, jazz, and rock. Additionally, Norton’s History of Western Music is the definitive survey of music history used in many college classrooms, combining current scholarship with a vibrant narrative of years past. These texts are the perfect gift for the bookshelf any music lover, but especially great for college-bound student musicians or scholarly teens.
