The History of American Folk Music (Music Library (Lucent))

The Music Library examines the rich history of different musical genres. Individual volumes discuss the innovators who have shaped the style, form, and content of music-from jazz to country to classical to rock and roll. A separate volume traces the development of musical instruments through the ages. Information sidebars, annotated bibliographies, and thorough indexes highlight the text and provide young readers with many opportunities for further discussion and research.
