What in the World is Music? is an undergraduate, interactive e-textbook that incorporates more than 300 video and audio links to music from around the world. The text investigates the nature and meaning of music as a universal human practice, while providing students with strong points of connection to the ways it affects their own lives. Merging the study of Western music tradition along with the ethnomusicological approach to non-Western music, and with a range of examples from both, What in the World is Music? explores how humans organize and experience sound, and the contexts in which music takes place. What in the World is Music? is set within a thematic framework that highlights similarities across cultures and examines shared musical practices. This Routledge interactive textbook package, 978-1-138-79025-4, includes a printed book to supplement the online e-text, which is also available as a stand-alone under ISBN 978-1-315-76430-6.
