In this beautiful and lavishly illustrated book, Millennium House brings you a comprehensive reference to Western Classical music. Hundreds of color photographs, artworks, musical manuscripts, and maps, along with authoritative and engaging text by eminent musical scholars from around the world take you on a musical journey through time, revealing how composers and performers, priests, princes, and patrons, and the events of history have created the unique and extraordinary tradition of Classical music. The journey begins 1,000 years ago, with music from Christian monasteries and churches. It then takes you through the millennium, era by era, from the glories of the Gregorian chant in the Middle Ages, to the masses, motets, and madrigals of the Renaissance; the birth of opera and beginnings of the modern orchestra in the Baroque era; the concertos, symphonies, sonatas, trios, and quartets of the Classical period; the rise of the Virtuoso in the early Romantic period; the emotional depth of the music and the golden age of grand opera in the late Romantic era; right up to the experimentation and diverse musical styles of the twentieth century.
