Music: An Appreciation, 10th Edition (Kamien)

New to This Edition

  • New Part Summaries at the end of each part aid student learning in two important ways: 1.) Summaries of key terms, principal forms, main composers, and style features tie the chapters of each part together, and encourage student review and retention. 2.) "Beyond the Classroom" materials prepare the student for further listening outside the classroom by going beyond the musical pieces and composers directly discussed in the text.
  • Connect Music, a new web-based assignment and assessment platform, gives students the means to better connect with their coursework, with their instructors, and with the important concepts that they will need to know for success in Music Appreciation. It incorporates interactive listening assignments and quizzes, streaming music examples, video opera and film excerpts, an audio glossary, and much more. Connect Plus Music includes all this and a complete ebook of the text. Instructors can assign listening exercises online and see the results of student work in their gradebook.
  • A refreshed program of musical selections and new performances on the CD-sets provide instructors with new examples for teaching, including two examples of guitar music: A dance movement by Bach and "Shard" by Elliott Carter; "Flow my tears," a lute song by John Dowland; "Malambo" from the Estancia ballet suite by Ginastera, conducted by the dynamic Gustavo Dudamel; and Bernard Herrmann's score for a scene from Alfred Hitchcock's classic "Vertigo", using a clip from the film.
  • Expanded coverage of film music features a listening outline and film clip (accessible online) of the "tower scene" from Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo.
  • Interactive Glossary and Example Locator -- The Glossary and Example locator is now available both online and in the text. The online version has been loaded with clickable listening samples for the forms, styles, and instruments listed in the glossary.
