Unit Summaries
These brief summaries of each major era in music history are intended as supplements (not
replacements) for the readings in your text. Many students benefit from seeing the same
information presented from a different perspective. In addition, the summary, list, and outline
forms of these presentations can provide a check for you to decide whether you have included
every major topic in your personal study. The readings and class activities are designed to bring
greater clarity, vividness, and substance to the terms and ideas presented in these summaries.
