Concise History of Western Music, 5th Edition (Anthology Update), by Barbara Russano Hanning, provides students and instructors with a structured overview of Western musical traditions. Published by W. W. Norton & Company, this textbook examines major musical developments across six historical eras extending from ancient Greece and early Christian Rome into the twenty-first century.
The content outlines stylistic shifts across European and American sacred and secular repertoire. Initial chapters address medieval chant, early polyphony, and Renaissance vocal forms. Middle and later sections explore early Baroque opera, instrumental compositions of the Classic era, nineteenth-century Romantic music dramas, classical and radical modernism, American vernacular traditions, and changing postwar practices.
To support score analysis and active listening practice, the textbook structures its historical discussions around a central repertoire of 109 characteristic musical works. This curated selection offers an organized framework for students and instructors completing multi-term music history sequences.
