"The listening guides are a decided strength and are masterfully conceived and executed."

"Strengths: 1. Wright has written with extreme clarity. He doesnÂ't waste words or indulge in scholarly "overkill. 2. He has done a good job of relating musical forms and styles to popular music forms. Of particular note are the examples of the Sting rondo and Elton JohnÂ's use of basso ostinato (would it be possible to have those pieces included on the CDs? I fear that I donÂ't own either of them). 3. The introductory CD contains the best examples of musical instruments, musical element and textures and forms that IÂ've ever heard."

"The new layout with more, shorter chapters is an improvement] in that it does break up the longer chapters; it presents less of an apparent obstacle for studentsÂ--which is excellent!"

"[for part openers with timelines] Good idea Â- with what is happening in the world at that time Â- so that the music is put into context for the students."

"[On LISTENING TO WESTERN MUSIC] Thank you for considering this. I teach an entirely separate course on non-Western music so I have no use for any of the world music contentÂ--also there simply isnÂ't time in 15 weeks to cover even all of the art music." Craig M. Wright (Bachelor of Music, Eastman School of Music, 1966; Ph.D., Harvard University, 1972) taught at the University of Kentucky for one year and has taught at Yale University for the past thirty-two years. He is the author of numerous scholarly books and articles on composers ranging from Leoninus to Bach. Wright has also been the recipient of many awards, including a Guggenheim Fellowship, the Einstein and Kinkeldey Awards of the American Musicological Society, and the Dent Medal of the International Musicological Society. In 2004, he was awarded the honorary degree Doctor of Humane Letters from the University of Chicago. He has also published LISTENING TO WESTERN MUSIC, Sixth Edition (Schirmer Cengage Learning, 2011), and, with Bryan Simms, MUSIC IN WESTERN CIVILIZATION, Media Update (Schirmer Cengage Learning, 2010).
