Modern Music: Being Book Three Of A Narrative History Of Music (1915) by Edward Burlingame Hill is a comprehensive exploration of the development of music from the late 18th century to the early 20th century. This book is part of a larger series that chronicles the history of music from ancient times to the modern era. Hill's focus in this volume is on the emergence of modern music, which he defines as music that is written for the sake of art rather than for practical purposes such as religious or folk music. He explores the works of the major composers of the time, including Beethoven, Wagner, Brahms, and Debussy, and analyzes their contributions to the development of modern music. The book is organized chronologically, with each chapter covering a specific period in music history. Hill provides detailed descriptions of the musical styles and techniques that were popular during each period, as well as the social and cultural factors that influenced the development of music. In addition to his analysis of individual composers and musical works, Hill also discusses broader trends in music, such as the rise of orchestral music and the emergence of new musical forms such as the symphonic poem. Overall, Modern Music is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of music, particularly the development of modern classical music. Hill's writing is clear and engaging, and he provides a wealth of information and insight into this fascinating period of musical history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
