Very enjoyable and interesting November 22, 2008
This is a very interesting and enjoyable History of Classical Music on four CDs. It contains excerpts from over 50 pieces of Western Music.
I have read some musical history before but I found that this set of CDs dealt more thoroughly with the thousand years of development from around 600 AD to around 1600 AD.
The CDs are are follows:
CD1 The Early, Medieval, and Renaissance Periods
This includes Gregorian Chant; Ambrosian Chant; the Dorian, Phrygian and Lydian Modes; Hildegard of Bingen; the Gothic Age; the Motet; the troubadour tradition; Guillaume de Machaut; the Madigral - Landini; Dufay and Ockeghem; the Agincourt Carol - 1415; the Renaissance - Palestrina; the High Renaissance in England; the French Chanson and the madrigal in Italy and England; John Dowland; Andrea and Giovanni Gabrielli.
