World Music: A Global Journey, Fourth Edition takes students around the world to experience the diversity of musical expression and cultural traditions. It is known for its breadth in surveying the world's major cultures in a systematic study of world music within a strong pedagogical framework.
As one prepares for any travel, each chapter starts with background preparation, reviewing the historical, cultural, and musical overview of the region. Visits to multiple "sites" within a region provide in-depth studies of varied musical traditions. Music analysis begins with an experiential "first impression" of the music, followed by an "aural analysis" of the sound and prominent musical elements. Finally, students are invited to consider the cultural connections that give the music its meaning and life.
Fourth Edition features:
The dynamic companion website hosts interactive listening guides and an interactive map, plus many student and instructor resources. A set of three CDs is available, with over three hours of diverse music examples necessary to the study.

"I love this book! Just the right balance of social, cultural, and historical context to make the musics (and their people) come alive. Includes wonderfully helpful listening guides and lots of places to go for additional resources to help both teachers and students expand their musical horizons--a gem for the traveling musical spirit."
―Ellen Koskoff, Professor of Ethnomusicology, University of Rochester's Eastman School of Music
"World Music: A Global Journey provides a detailed, comprehensive, and very accessible introduction to many musical traditions. The text offers systematic guidance for musical novices, detailed analysis for advanced students, and a humanist approach that showcases the people that make the music."
―Gavin Douglas, Associate Professor of Ethnomusicology, University of North Carolina, Greensboro

I know my students have appreciated this book over the years."
