Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Narrative History of Music, Vol. 1: Book I, the Pre-Classic Periods So many and varied are the paths of musical enjoy ment and profit opened out in the following pages, so different and sometimes so conflicting are the types of art represented there, that the timid or inexperienced reader may well pause at the threshold, afraid of wholly losing his way in such a labyrinth. He may hesitate to trust himself in so unfamiliar a landscape without first seeing some sort of small-scale plan of the ground, which, omitting the confusing details, shows in bold relief only the larger and essential divisions - the 'lay of the land.' Such a plan it is the object of this introduction to furnish. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Music, Vol. 1 An attack was made thirty years ago on the assertion that Handel was not only a sacred composer, but was especially the founder of the epic element in music. It is, therefore, very satisfactory to observe the extent to which the truth of that assertion is now generally admitted this can also be said of the admission of the proof that the invention of the opera at Florence was due to a Tuscan School.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Author Chappell's intent with The History of Music (Art and Science): Volume One - From the Earliest Records to the Fall of the Roman Empire was to produce a complete history of music. Beginning with the earliest evidence of music, which largely comes from the Greeks, Chappel attempts to trace the development of the art through to modern day. Volume One, presented here, traces the history of music until the fifth century. The book actually opens where many works conclude, with a detailed glossary and explanatory index. From there, Chappel begins his historical examination in earnest. Opening chapters highlight the early Greek system of music, the three-stringed lyre of Egypt, the development of harmonies, and the earliest uses of music. Later chapters discuss early designs of instruments and the importance of music in the Roman Empire. The volume concludes with a brief section of notes and addendums. The History of Music is a noble effort at documenting the history of the art, Chappell is clearly a well-researched and knowledgeable writer. The work includes a fair amount of technical analysis, and thus is best read by an individual with some knowledge of the principals of music theory. Chappell's first volume in his series The History of Music is a well-written and worthy attempt at documenting the early history of the development of music. Students of history, particularly those interested in music history, will certainly find this to be a fascinating work.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American History and Encyclopedia of Music Musical Biographies Compiled, Vol. 1 In the preparation of these volumes the aim has been to make the list of musicians include a selection of those that will be most useful in a book of reference for the general reader or student as well as for the musician. To this end the following classes have been particularly emphasized: Great composers; noted artists and performers; successful teachers; musicians who have made inventions or improvements in the instruments they represent; musical critics and writers; all musicians who are im portant in the history of music; and representatives of special schools or epochs of music. An especial effort has been made to include as many contemporary musicians as possible, and American musicians have been given proportionately more space than those of foreign countries. Names of musicians from whom personal information has been Obtained, either directly or from members of their families, are marked with a star. The publisher of these volumes wishes to express thanks to the following libraries for their generous aid and for the courtesy and helpfulness of the members of the various staffs: The Lenox Library at New York; The Boston Public Library; The Congressional Library of Washington; The Chicago Public Library; The Newberry Library of Chicago; The Toledo Public Library.
