Music as a Multicultural Experience w/ CD

After having presented and shared the ineffable beauties of music with undergraduates and non-majors for over a quarter of a century, Shelley Davis has gained a revitalized perspective from the experience, particularly with regard to music-appreciation curricula.Today's society and our music students seem increasingly to feel a need for partaking in an ever-widening musical spectrum: European classics remain an expectation, but their interrelationships with (and opposition to) other styles are eagerly sought in today's world since for many of us, jazz, folk, international, popular, and other musical styles have become integral to our auditory experience.Music as a Multicultural Experience addresses principally undergraduate non-music majors, and it draws from a variety of sources in selected Euro-American Western musical styles and non-Western musical traditions.Music as a Multicultural Experience:Is packaged with a CDIncludes chapter conclusions, suggested bibliographies, and discographies allow for expansion of the material, if so desired.Widens the reader's awareness of some of the many and diverse musical styles, genres, and customs available to them.
