Music is an intrinsic part of everyday life, and yet the history of its
development from single notes to multi-layered orchestration can seem
bewilderingly complex.
In his dynamic tour through 40,000 years
of music, from prehistoric instruments to modern-day pop, Howard Goodall
leads us through the story of music as it happened, idea by idea, so
that each musical innovation―harmony, notation, sung theatre, the
orchestra, dance music, recording―strikes us with its original force.
Along the way, he also gives refreshingly clear descriptions of what
music is and how it works: what scales are all about, why some chords
sound discordant, and what all post-war pop songs have in common.
The story of music is the story of our urge to invent, connect,
rebel―and entertain. Howard Goodall's beautifully clear and compelling
account is both a hymn to human endeavor and a groundbreaking map of our
musical journey. 16 pages of color and B&W photographs
