Recensioner i media

In this useful dictionary, Hatschek and Wells cover composers, performers, organizations, terminology, concepts, and practices important in the music industry and its evolution in the US. The authors attempt to cover the rich diversity of musical styles, but the primary emphasis is on the popular music industry because it is the greatest portion of the US music marketplace, as measured by revenue. Biographical coverage is representative rather than comprehensive because many more individuals have contributed to the development of the music industry than can be included in a single volume. However, many important technological terms are defined, and this contributes substantially to the value of the dictionary. Also of considerable value are a substantial introduction tracing the history of the American music industry from Colonial times to the present day and three appendixes, the first a list of music industry trade associations, the second a list of academic programs, and the third a recording and broadcast chronology. Hatschek and Wells also provide a substantial bibliography. Recommended. Lower-division undergraduates through faculty and professionals
