| Abstract |
A concise anthology including a wide range of music from the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. This anthology is the ideal companion to "Music in the Twentieth and Twenty-First Centuries." Twenty-six carefully chosen works--including music by Claude Debussy, Kurt Weill, William Grant Still, Pauline Oliveros, and Chen Yi--offer representative examples of genres and composers of the period. Commentaries following each score present a careful analysis of the music, and online links to purchase and download recordings make listening easier than ever. |

| General note | Includes three appendices: 1) on reading an orchestral score; 2) instrument names and abbreviations and note names in English, French, German, and Italian; and 3) a glossary of stylistic terms. |
