[ad_1] This first comprehensive history of musical instruments, this book covers from prehistory to the twentieth century. It crosses the five continents and all stages of evolution, from primitive rattles and bull-roarers to the electric organ. The author Curt Sachs, one of the most distinguished musicologists in the world, combines a rich erudition with a personal vision in a remarkable fusion of music, anthropology and fine arts.
From the first manifestations of rhythm, Sachs explores the association of sound with primitive rites of fertility, life, death and rebirth. He traces the evolution of folkloric instruments and rituals to the tools of entertainment and art, the emergence of a professional class of singers and musicians, and the musical revolution that flourished during the Renaissance. Sachs narrates the founding of the modern orchestra during the Baroque period and its subsequent development, concluding with the rise of electric and jazz instruments today.
A pleasure to read, as well as a valuable resource, this classic work has been enhanced with 24 plates and 167 illustrations.
