Have you ever wondered just where our music comes from? How did we arrive here, a place where we can have a hundred musicians on stage playing the wildest rhythms, a singer performing the most heart-breaking of melodies, or a solitary pianist playing an instrument that weights half a tonne? How did the melodies and harmonies we are listening to today, right now, come about? Ed Le Brocq invites you to come on a journey through a living tradition that spans a millennium, the tradition of Western classical music. This pocket guide will roam the magnificently bendy path from the Ancient Greeks of two and a half thousand years ago all the way through to music composed just last week, with many stops along the way all around the globe.
