Description
Author Jan Dostal offers a somewhat different perspective on the history of music in his book. Primarily, he seeks the common thread that connects the various epochs of music development. He shows how music, originally a gift from the heavens and the gods, gradually descends to earth and becomes an entirely human affair. He documents everything with a series of musical examples from different epochs and individual composers. In the conclusion, he reflects on further perspectives for the development of music and its potential uses in education, liturgy, etc. – for human education and elevation.
