Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A CULTURAL HISTORY OF WESTERN MUSIC IN ANTIQUITY A Cultural History of Western Music in Antiquity covers the period from 850 BCE to 500 CE, a time when multiple musics grew and spread in a glorious polyphony of styles. Music became the beneficiary of a wide variety of practices, from large-scale public patronage to sophisticated theorization, from the design of new instruments to the medical enhancement of the voice, from the invention of new scales and rhythms to the creation of a remarkably precise notation system. Though much of this polymetric and microtonal music was later lost, the innovations of the ancient Greeks and Romans established new ways of conceiving and practicing music.

Book excerpt: A CULTURAL HISTORY OF WESTERN MUSIC IN THE RENAISSANCE A Cultural History of Western Music in the Renaissance covers the period from 1400 to 1650, examining structures of identity and the delicate relationships between self, society, and sound. What did listeners and creators want from music in the Renaissance? How were the forms and meanings of music shaped by the social, political, and technological transformations of the time? Music was put to many uses in this epoch: as an instrument of power in a changing political order; as an aid to religious and philosophical speculation; and as a tool for constructing emotional communities and regimes. And music itself was transformed, both by new technologies, such as print, and by the expansion of travel and trade.

Book excerpt: A CULTURAL HISTORY OF WESTERN MUSIC IN THE AGE OF ENLIGHTENMENT A Cultural History of Western Music in the Age of Enlightenment covers the period from 1650 to 1790, a time of radical, social, and cultural transformation.

At the same time, the Enlightenment's philosophical focus on what it means to be human recast the purpose of music: sound became the expression of the self.
