I had to teach a music appreciation class. This is my saviour for the class. It is clear and well laid out. I turly can hear the things that they talk about of the pieces that they discuss. I was a musician at one time and I don't think that I knew that much about the pieces that I played as I am learning now. Great book for learning music.

Through six editions, Roger Kamien's Music: An Appreciation has become the most widely used text for Music Appreciation and Introduction to Music Literature courses. The author has approached his new seventh edition with the goal of re-examining the scholarship and refreshing the repertoire while maintaining the strengths that have made the book number one -- the clear presentation of musical elements, the vivid depiction of music history, the carefully chosen musical examples, the detailed and informative Listening Outlines, and the unsurpassed supplements package.
