Among his many publications are a collection of scholarly essays on Italian Renaissance music and a history of Baroque music. Palisca, professor of music at Yale University, began his collaboration on A History of Western Music with the Third Edition. University, also wrote a standard history of opera. Donald Jay Grout, late professor of music at Cornell As always, no effort has been spared to bring to todayвЂ™s teachers and students the best Grout/Palisca ever. Sixteen full-color plates and numerous black-and-white images illustrate specific musical points and show music making in its social context. Judicious touches of color highlight the maps, diagrams, and technical discussions, and dozens of vignettes offer the wisdom of composers and writers in their own words. In addition, A History of Western Music, Sixth Edition, offers headings, subheadings, and marginal headings that provide a clear and consistent outline. And, of course, Professor Palisca has applied his impeccable scholarship to the book so that it remains the standard to which all other music histories are held. Time lines have been expanded to make them visually more informative and appealing. The number of maps has been increased, and all the maps were redrawn to make them clearer and easier for students to use. The book is newly designed, with clarity and readability in mind. In preparing this Sixth Edition, Claude Palisca has been assisted by an editorial advisory board of musicologists who are distinguished both for their scholarly achievements and their teaching excellence. TodayвЂ™s Grout/Palisca remains the most authoritative and useful text available, providing readers with insights into both the music and its historical context.

With its thorough yet accessible overview of the field, this exceptional book has enlightened multitudes of students and connoisseurs. Palisea SixthДЄ History of Western Music has been recognized as the finest survey of Western art music since its appearance in 1960.
