Summary: "The New Everyman Dictionary of Music has long been regarded as one of the finest and most comprehensive one-volume reference works on music. Now thoroughly revised, it provides an outstanding guide to the world of music. As well as biographical information on composers, performers and others concerned with music, the dictionary lists individual works, instruments, orchestras, and musical terms, forms and influences and styles. All musical life is here, from "ArS Antiqua" to "Zeffirelli", "Castanets" to "Castrati", and "Kyrie Te Kanawa". Technical terms are explained with the help of music examples. In revising the dictionary David Cummings has aimed to retain and strengthen its invaluable historical elements whilst bringing it completely up to date by writing over 1500 new entries. The result is a mine of musical knowledge for students, musicians and all music lovers" -- Book cover
