Ed Le Brocq invites you to come on a journey with him through a living tradition that spans a millennium - the tradition of Western classical music.
A beautiful reminder that music has always been in us and always told our story. This is the intriguing and playful story of music itself' Zan Rowe
Have you ever wondered where our music comes from? How did we arrive here, a place where we can have a hundred musicians on stage playing the wildest rhythms, a singer performing the most heart-breaking of melodies, or a solitary pianist playing an instrument that weighs half a tonne? How did the melodies and harmonies we listen to today, right now, come about?
This glorious pocket guide will take you roaming along the magnificently bendy path of Western classical music, from the Ancient Greeks of 2500 years ago all the way to music composed just last week by some of Australia's most brilliant creative minds.
Discover how scales developed by Pythagoras and his mates in Ancient Greece found their way, through the Romans, into church music of the Middle Ages, to be sung by monks with surprising haircuts. You'll find out why a tiny pianist kept a frog in his pocket, who was afraid of the number 13 (and why we should be a little afraid of his music), and which composer had two skulls in their grave and why. Hint - they were a viola player ...
This canter through the development of one of humankind's greatest achievements will delight and exhilarate you and have you listening to music with fresh ears.
