Reviews / Votes
'Overall, these essays will be of value to music historians and students of the evolution of music. It provides a cross generational, long term focus of music's development from pre-antiquity up to this century, without much focus on the very most contemporary, commodified and popularized sides of music in the present day.'Edwin Anderson Mwakibete, Utafiti 18More details
