Anthology for Music in the Baroque

Anthology for Music in the Baroque, part of the Western Music in Context series, is the ideal companion to Music in the Baroque. Twenty-six carefully chosen works-including a lute song by John Dowland, a cantata by Barbara Strozzi, and selections from J. S. Bach's Art of Fugue-offer representative examples of genres and composers of the period. Commentaries following each score present a careful analysis of the music, and online links to purchase and download recordings make listening easier than ever.
