by Curt Sachs
This first comprehensive history of musical instruments, this book
ranges from prehistoric times to the 20th century. It traverses five
continents and every stage of evolution, from primitive rattles and
bull-roarers to the electric organ. Author Curt Sachs, one of the
world's most distinguished musicologists, combines rich scholarship with
personal insight in a remarkable fusion of music, anthropology, and the
fine arts.
Beginning with the earliest manifestations of rhythm,
Sachs explores the association of sound with primitive rites of
fertility, life, death, and rebirth. He traces the evolution of folk and
ritual instruments to tools of entertainment and art, the rise of a
professional class of singers and musicians, and the musical revolution
that flowered during the Renaissance. Sachs chronicles the foundation of
the modern orchestra during the baroque period and its subsequent
development, concluding with the modern-day rise of electric and jazz
instruments.
A pleasure to read as well as a valuable resource, this classic work is enhanced with 24 plates and 167 illustrations.
