Pleased with product I was pleased with this seller and the product. The product was as described and it came in a fairly short time. I would buy from this seller again. | ||
Good I got the book in good time. I ended up having to mail it back just because I dropped the class, but there was nothing wrong with the book. | ||
Needed for class Most recent edition. Does not go along with NAWM 3rd edition. It must be referring to a more recent edition of that book as well. | ||
Christmas Present This was a Christmas present for my wife. She sings and arranges music. I can only tell you that she is ecstatic about the book, and is excited at the prospect of going on line for the streaming music that comes with. | ||
Good book (if used with companion books and CDs) from greedy publisher This book is perhaps the most used textbook in the college music history class. It is a fine book, especially if used along with its companion anthology (2 volumes) Norton Anthology of Western Music: Volume 1: Ancient to Baroque, Norton Anthology of Western Music: Volume 2: Classic to Twentieth Century and recorded anthology (2 volumes with 12 CDs) Norton Recorded Anthology of Western Music, Fifth Edition, Volume 1: Ancient to Baroque (6 CDs), Norton Recorded Anthology of Western Music, Fifth Edition, Volume 2: Classic to Twentieth Century (6 CDs). I don't think one could learn much from reading through a music history book, without key listening material. That said, I agree with other reviewers that this book (with companion anthology and CDs) is seriously over-priced. The total price of this book and its companion anthology and CDs is $76+ $45 + $45 +$82.50 +$82.50 = $331! It is reasonable for any publisher to make profits, but to rake it on students is robbery! Recommended only to those with deep pockets. | ||
