Un viaggio nella musica attraverso il mondo. La musica può commuoverci e raccontare storie di fede, lotta o amore. Ma come è cambiata nel corso dei millenni? Robert Philip ci conduce in un viaggio che copre un arco di tempo di svariati millenni abbracciando il globo intero: dalla Persia alle tradizioni classiche dell'India, fino ad arrivare a Cina, Giappone ed estremo oriente, passando per Africa, Sud America, Australia, Nuova Zelanda e Polinesia. Nel libro trovano spazio tutti i generi: blues, ragtime e jazz, senza trascurare rock e pop, fino ad approdare a un'interessante analisi della situazione della musica classica e popolare contemporanea. Da Ildegarda di Bingen e Clara Schumann a Bob Dylan e Aretha Franklin, grandi interpreti e compositori che hanno plasmato profondamente la musica così come la conosciamo. Questa breve storia ha il pregio di portare uno sguardo fresco e curioso su un argomento tanto studiato e tuttavia sempre affascinante.
