P R E FA C E

Like so many music students, I came to music history through performance.


But it was my good fortune to have studied music history in college and beyond
with instructors for whom music history was just one branch of the history of
ideas, a reflection of broader movements of cultural history, the history of sci-
ence, of art and literature, or religion and philosophy—in short, a record of
human thought and creative activity.
From the beginning of my work on the first edition of Concise History of West-
ern Music, I have striven to introduce performers and liberal arts students to the
forces that shaped the works discussed in the text. In discovering how those
forces played out in the works of successive generations of composers, I hope
that students will be excited—as I was—to see how new discoveries, new ways of
thinking, and conflicts and their resolutions influence human choices and
values.
The fifth edition of Concise History of Western Music parallels the ninth edition
of A History of Western Music (HWM) by J. Peter Burkholder, Donald J. Grout, and
Claude V. Palisca, and matches the seventh edition of the Norton Anthology of
Western Music (NAWM) by Burkholder and Palisca. The first fourteen chapters
of Concise, organized into three parts that survey music from Antiquity and the
Middle Ages, Renaissance music, and Baroque music through Bach and Han-
del, are intended for use with Volume I of NAWM; Chapters 15–22 of Concise (or
Parts 4 and 5) discuss the Classic and Romantic repertories presented in Vol-
ume II of NAWM, including some music from the New World; and the final sec-
tion of Concise (Part 6), now containing six chapters, 23–28, corresponds to
NAWM Volume III, which is devoted to twentieth- and twenty-first-century
music in Europe and the Americas and has been considerably expanded.
At the suggestion of some of the reviewers of the fourth edition, I have given
the new text three more chapters than it had in the previous version. One of
these is accounted for by the separation of a previously overstuffed Chapter 7
into two smaller chapters treating vocal and instrumental music of the Renais-
sance, respectively. The other new chapters appear in Part 6, where I have
­thoroughly revised, updated, and expanded coverage of the twentieth and
twenty-first centuries. Reorganized chapters on the early twentieth century

Section 2. Information about the Mission of


Project Gutenberg™
Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of
electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.
It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and
donations from people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the


assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg™’s
goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™ collection will
remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a
secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg™ and future
generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help,
see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at
www.gutenberg.org.

Section 3. Information about the Project


Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non-profit
501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
Revenue Service. The Foundation’s EIN or federal tax identification
number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state’s laws.

The Foundation’s business office is located at 809 North 1500 West,


Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887. Email contact links and up

Section 4. Information about Donations to


the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
Foundation
Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without
widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can
be freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the
widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small
donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax
exempt status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating


charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and
keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in
locations where we have not received written confirmation of
compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of
compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate.

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where


we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no
prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in
such states who approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make


any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation
methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of
other ways including checks, online payments and credit card
donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate.

Section 5. General Information About Project


Gutenberg™ electronic works
Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could be
freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network of
volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several printed


editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
edition.

Most people start at our website which has the main PG search
facility: www.gutenberg.org.

This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™,


including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how
to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
