Summary: "The New Oxford Companion to Music is a completely new encyclopaedia covering music from ancient times to the present day. Clear, authoritative, and readable, it provides within two volumes some 6,600 entries on all aspects of music: composers, individual works, music at various periods and in many different countries and civilisations, opera (including over a hundred plot synopses), jazz, popular music, electronic music, acoustics, and musical instruments from all parts of the world. There are also over two thousand entries defining musical terms, together with articles on musical theory and forms. A major addition to the range of Oxford music reference books, it will become indispensable, as Percy Schole's Oxford Companion to Music has long been, to a wide and diverse readership in search of information and enlightenment on anything to do with music." -- Book Jacket.
