    1st Printing - In vivid color, this history of music presents the salient moments of one of mankind's most exalting ventures. The first use of simple work songs, the severity of the Gregorian chant and the carefree tunes of the minstrels, the polyphony of Medieval times and the great musical diversity of the Renaissance, the fruitfulness of Handel and the unmatched perfectionism of Beethoven, the patriotic impetus of Verdi and the touching lyricism of Puccini, the primordial rhythms of Stravinski and the unorthodox, experimental compositions of Cage...these and other highlights of musical history are represented in striking cartoon drawings that amuse as well as inform. Hardcover, 8.5" x 11.5", 144 pages, full color. Cover price $12.95.
