The World of Music, 5/e
David Willoughby


Feature Summary

NEW! Enhanced Studies in Sound: These hallmark listening outlines have been expanded to provide a clearer map of each listening example. Each Study now includes more moment-to-moment description and additional graphical cues to help students locate themselves within the piece. Additionally, the Studies are integrated into the chapters, instead of appearing at the end.

An Active Listening Approach: By illustrating the elements of music with familiar and popular music examples early in the book, Willoughby builds listening skills progressively—preparing students for the more challenging multi-movement works that appear in the historical discussion.

Music of the Americas: Popular music of South, Central, and North America is well represented in The World of Music.
