Geschichte der Musik - erzählt von Arnold Werner-Jensen

Who 'invented' the Gregorian chorale ? How did the opera come into being ? Who is regarded as the 'first romanticist'? What is meant by 'experimental music'? All these questions and many others too are answered by Arnold Werner-Jensen in his music history book for children and young people in a concise and comprehensible way. This volume invites the reader to take an exciting and very readable walk through the history of Occidental music - from the Middle Ages to the 21st century.
The accompanying CD contains music examples of all epochs and musical genres.
