People have been singing and playing instruments since ancient times, but it is impossible to trace a continuous history of music, as it is too varied and uneven. That’s why Andrew Ford, a composer, researcher, and presenter of a popular radio program about music, offers a different approach. He identifies key themes in the history of music and shows how they have manifested themselves across cultures and eras, from ritual chants and early recording systems to modern labels and streaming platforms. The author offers a wide-ranging, lively, and engaging account of how the music we listen to and play is reflected in social and cultural changes, religious practices, and the impact of technological advances.

Written with passion and encyclopedic precision, this book will be a revelation for anyone who wants to look at musical history in a new way.
