The Story of Music: From Babylon to the Beatles: How Music Has Shaped Civilization

A dynamic and expansive tour through 40,000 years of music, from prehistoric instruments to modern-day pop songs.
Music is an intrinsic part of everyday life, and yet the history of its development from single notes to multi-layered orchestration can seem bewilderingly complex.

In his dynamic tour through 40,000 years of music, from prehistoric instruments to modern-day pop, Howard Goodall leads us through the story of music as it happened, idea by idea, so that each musical innovationâ€•harmony, notation, sung theatre, the orchestra, dance music, recordingâ€•strikes us with its original force. Along the way, he also gives refreshingly clear descriptions of what music is and how it works: what scales are all about, why some chords sound discordant, and what all post-war pop songs have in common.

The story of music is the story of our urge to invent, connect, rebelâ€•and entertain. Howard Goodall's beautifully clear and compelling account is both a hymn to human endeavor and a groundbreaking map of our musical journey. 16 pages of color and B&W photographs
