Cambridge School and College Text Books. A Concise History of...

Description: About the Book In Greece, music was considered as an art form that should be used as a means to express emotions rather than entertainment or enjoyment alone. Music became more secularized during Roman times when it became popular entertainment among all classes in society. In 1879, this was a pioneering work in its field. It was written by Charles Burney, who is best known for his History Of Music (1789). The two books are not similar but complementary; Burney's A Concise History Of Music does not attempt to cover all genres or periods but concentrates on Western classical music from ancient times up until his own day. The book begins with an introduction to musical instruments that may have been used by primitive man: gongs, drums and rattles. Then follows a few paragraphs on ancient Egypt, Assyria, Babylonia and Persia where music was performed by priests at religious ceremonies and feasts.About us Trieste Publishing’s aim is to provide readers with the highest quality reproductions of fiction and non-fiction literature that has stood the test of time.
