Customer Reviews

Exactly as I ordered

Book was fine but ws disappointed that it did not come with the cd's that were required for my daughters class. In reading the description again, I got exactly what I was promised. Had to go purchase the cd's seperarly bringing the price near what the school was charging for the set.

Excellent Service

Excellent service. Shipped very fast, and received well within the time stated. Product is in great condition, same as described.

Fascinating and scholarly!!!

This book is wonder and a treasure trove of musical ideas from around the planet. For example, how many music historians are aware of how the Native Amercians used song to identify each of their tribes? Mr. Titon has provided very interesting facts about music making from many world cultures. He has also produced a 3 CD sound compilation of musical examples for this book that is indispensible.If you're tired of today's bland market of music that has sadly squashed historical music making of any kind, this book is an excellent journey into the world's most basic roots of song and music.
