This comprehensive collection of 150 scores illustrates every significant trend and genre of Western classical music from antiquity to modern times. The Fourth Edition contains 20 pieces new to the collection and an increased number of twentieth-century works (American composers newly represented include Amy Cheney Beach, John Adams, and Ellen Taaffe Zwilich). Each numbered selection is either a complete work in itself or an entire movement from a longer original, and each is accompanied by a commentary. All foreign-language texts are accompanied by English translations. Book jacket.

Claude V. Palisca, a past president of the American Musicological Society, is professor of music at Yale University
