1) Hardcover Book The Development of Western Music: A History.Third Edition by McGraw-Hill Humanities/Social Sciences/Languages. Ironically, during my undergraduate years I thought this book contained a little too much information. While the format was appealing, I relied on my professor´s concise notes... However, now that I am in graduate school and am forced to read ´Soundings´ by Watkins I am thanking my lucky stars for Stolba´s ´Development of Western Music.´ This book is a life saver! It´s to the point, comprehensive, yet concise. This book shows me the difference between scholarly writing and someone that just likes to hear himself talk... The index and table of contents make this book a very handy reference.¤

2) Hardcover Book The Development of Western Music: A History.Third Edition by McGraw-Hill Humanities/Social Sciences/Languages. I recently bought this book and found it to be outstanding. Ihave read quite a few music books including library references(although not text books - which this is) and found this book to be quite readable yet scholarly and comprehensive. There are many insets devoted to major composers, virtually no significant composer is omitted and there are many maps showing the cultural settings of the varius music periods. There are couple page summaries at the end of chapters. Unlike some books you´re half way through by the time you get to Beethoven. I was glad that there is extensive coverage to medieval and renaissance music. The latin liturgy is well explained. The book shows well the place of music history in the general history of the west - in fact I got some new insights about western history. Lastly it is reasonably price for a college text.¤

4) Hardcover Book The Development of Western Music: A History.Third Edition by McGraw-Hill Humanities/Social Sciences/Languages. Stolba offers a chronological presentation of the sweep of Western music and its composers, beginning with the music of antiquity and proceeding to the 20th Century. Since any discussion of the evolution of music is not complete without also discussing events that influenced that evolution, this comprehensive text integrates information about historical periods, cultures, and artistic movements. Fine art reproductions, detailed maps and chronologies, newly designed in this edition, also help students place the musical discussions in their cultural, geographical, and historical contexts. Along with its newly recorded CD sets and accompanying 2-volume anthology, The Development of Western Music offers a coordinated presentation of the diverse range of Western music and its composers.¤
