Summary:
"Garland's ambitious 10-volume series takes a cultural approach to
its focus on the music of all the world's peoples. Each volume is
arranged topically, regionally, or by ethnic group, and complemented
by an extensive index. Although each volume will differ because of
the nature of the material, the organization remains consistent
throughout all: regional overviews first; music in the social context
next; then finally, the musical traditions of individual countries or
ethnic groups. Of exceptional value are the CDs that accompany each
volume, often with previously unrecorded music, as well as the
resource guides, extensive bibliographies, and photographs. Separate
pricing makes it easy to buy just the volumes that your patrons need
and will use".--"Outstanding Reference Sources: the 1999 Selection of
New Titles", American Libraries, May 1999. Comp. by the Reference
