Praise for GATEWAYS TO UNDERSTANDING MUSIC: At last! An innovative, practical, and inclusive approach to studying music of Europe, North America, and beyond that puts popular and world music, American jazz, and European classical music into conversation with one another by looking at their origins and interrelationships through the lens of World history. Anne K. Rasmussen, Professor, The College of William and Mary Gateways to Understanding Music provides a profoundly new and refreshingly original approach to examining the music of the world's cultures in cohesive, comparable, and contrasting ways that illuminate the power and meaning of all of the musics.
