a re = ee J. PETER BURKHOLDER | DONALD J. GROUT CLAUDE V. PALISCA A HISTORY OF WESTERN MUSIC SEVENTH EDITION J. PETER BURKHOLDER DONALD JAY GROUT CLAUDE V. PALISCA A History of Western Music has secured its place— through six editions and for almost half a century—as the definitive resource for students and connoisseurs alike. Today this exceptional book remains the most authoritative and useful text available, providing readers with insights into both the music and its his- torical context. In the Seventh Edition, J. Peter Burkholder has revi- talized this classic text for a new generation, offering a vivid, accessible, contextual history of music in Europe and the Americas. From tropes in Latin mass- es to minimalism and the avant-garde, the history of Western music has long been a struggle between tradition and innovation, and Professor Burkholder explores the issues and people at the center of these conflicts. The result is a vibrant, engaging story of people, their ideas, what they valued in music, and the choices they made. Comprehensively revised, the Seventh Edition calls attention to what’s important, where it fits, why it matters, and who cares. Shorter, self-contained chapters are framed by historical context at the beginning and the music’s reception and legacy at the end. Sidebars highlight composer biographies, music in daily life, and musical innovations in every period. Timelines and pithy Source Readings in each chapter place music in broader cultural context. Coverage of modern music has been significantly expanded to explore popular and classical idioms as well as the rich diversitoy f musical genres and styles available today. Long regarded as the definitive his- tory of works and events, A History of Western Music now tells the story of the people behind the music. J. Peter Burkholder, professor of music at Indiana University, is a prize-winning scholar of Ives, modern music, and musical borrowing. Donald Jay Grout, late professor of music at Cornell University, wrote a history of opera as well as books on Scarlatti and Mozart operas. Claude V. Palisca, late professor of music at Yale University, specialized in music of the Italian Renaissance and Baroque.

W. Norton & Company has been independent since its founding in 1923, when William Warder Norton and Margaret D. Herter Norton first published lectures delivered at the People’s Institute, the adult education division of New York City’s Cooper Union. The Nortons soon expanded their program beyond the Institute, publishing books by celebrated academics from America and abroad. By mid-century, the two major pillars of Norton’s publishing program—trade books and college texts— were firmly established. In the 1950s, the Norton family transferred control of the company to its employees, and today—with a staff of 4.00 and a comparable number of trade, college, and professional titles published each year—W. W. Norton & Company stands as the largest and oldest publishing house owned wholly by its employees. Copyright (c) 2006, 2001, 1996, 1988, 1980, 1973, 1960 by W. W. Norton & Company, Inc.
