discussions of connections, contrasts, and patterns of influence among artists, styles, and eras. A new, in-depth section on 21st century music connects you to the content through a modern lens. Units are clearly defined by style and timeframe, and chapters feature narrowly focused objectives to keep you on task. This edition also features a vibrant, richly illustrated, magazine-like design, plus numerous online resources. Almost all listening examples are available on Spotify with dedicated unit playlists and/or in YouTube examples which can be found throughout the MindTap version of the text.
