Music of the Whole Earth, David Reck,
USA, 1977

David Reck’s Music of the Whole Earth surveys the emotional, technical, and aesthetic resources and powers of Western musical culture and of other cultures. Reck reviews music's mythical origins, showing the reader that melodies and rhythms can be broken down into a few basic ideas, and explains to the reader how those ideas manifest themselves in disparate cultures. This book is in great used condition for its age, with a couple marks, turned pages, and scuffs to be expected.
