Gateways to Understanding Music
by Timothy Rice and Dave Wilson
Routledge, 2023 (Second Edition)

Gateways to Understanding Music is a music appreciation textbook exploring music in all the categories that constitute contemporary musical experience: European classical music, popular music, jazz, and world music. Covering the oldest forms of human music making to the newest, the book's chronological narrative considers music from a global rather than a Eurocentric perspective. Each of sixty modular "gateways" covers a particular genre, style, or period of music. Every gateway opens with a guided listening example that unlocks a world of music through careful study of its structural elements. Based on their listening experience, readers are asked to consider how the piece came to be composed or performed, how the piece or performance responded to the social and cultural issues at the time and place of its creation, and what that music means today. Students and other readers learn to listen to, explain, understand, and ultimately value all the music they may encounter in their world.
