Celebrated musicologist-conductor D. Kern Holoman (University of California, Davis), in conjunction with Prentice Hall and Sony Music, brings together a new edition of the first fully-integrated multimedia program designed to teach listeners the core concepts of music appreciation.
A COMPLETE PROGRAM
This interconnecting program includes a narrative textbook, a NEW content-rich Masterworks Website (with offline dual-platform CD-ROM), and 4 Sony Music audio compact discs. Masterworks enhances the traditional approach to understanding a musical work by using the personal computer and the Internet to unite the historical story, the visual imagery, and the music.
MUSIC APPRECIATION FUNDAMENTALS
At the core of the program is the text, Masterworks: A Musical Discovery. Using a carefully crafted narrative that draws on the author's engaging lecture style, the text focuses on listeners' own experiences as they come to integrate music and the arts into their lives.
INTEGRATED MULTIMEDIA LEARNING
In addition to the text, the program features a unique Companion Website (http://www.prenhall.com/masterworks) and off-line CD-ROM that includes interactive Listening Charts, tutorials, composer biographies, self-paced, self-graded quizzes and listening exercises, interactive timelines, and over 600 graphics, music clips, and fine-art images, all designed to make the study of music appreciation exciting and rewarding.
THE REPERTOIRE FROM SONY MUSIC
Central to the Masterworks package is a vibrant and comprehensive music repertoire featuring distinguished soloists and ensembles in unforgettable performances. The 4 CDs range from Gregorian chants recorded especially for the project by Paul Hillier and the Theatre of Voices to Bethany Beardslee's epochal recording of Babbitt's Philomel, composed with the Princeton/Columbia RCA Mark IV synthesizer. Soloists range from Vladimir Horowitz and Itzhak Perlman to Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington.
BUILDING ON SUCCESS
Now in its second edition, The Masterworks program has been enhanced by a number of important new features:
D. Kern Holoman presents an elegantly crafted narrative that draws on his long experience as lecturer in the popular Introduction to Music course at the University of California, Davis. Conductor of the University of California, Davis, Symphony Orchestra, Holoman is author of articles and books on Berlioz and orchestral life in 19th-century France.
