Worlds of Music

By Jeff Todd Titon; Linda Fujie; David Locke; David P. McAllester; David B. B. Reck; Timothy J. Cooley;

Intended for courses in World Music/Ethnomusicology, an introductory course for non-music majors at four-year colleges and universities, as well as community colleges. Appropriate for students with no formal musical background and instructors with little or no formal training in ethnomusicology. [Instructors of music majors and students with some formal musical training may want to adopt the WORLDS OF MUSIC, 5th Edition (2009-comprehensive version).] This new shorter version particularly targets the music appreciation instructor who wants to take a world music approach or the world music instructor who wants to take an appreciation approach.
