Church," pp.277-310
Overview:
This chapter is about the visual arts;
the pictures are more important than the words. Read the words anyway so
that you can get an historical perspective and a greater appreciation for
what you are seeing in the pictures. Study all the pictures carefully.
As in the previous chapter, real appreciation for music cannot come from
reading the chapter, but please read it so you will be ready for the listening
experience in class. Now that music notation is being fully developed,
music plays an ever increasing role in the development of western culture.
