Overview: This popular Lucent Books series has been updated to make music of all genres even more accessible, popular and culturally relevant in the 21st century; the set focuses on the history, music, musicians, and instruments behind specific musical styles.; This volume in The Music Library offers an updated version of the book originally published in 2003. The book will include important updates to the original text, a new back matter section (i.e., a glossary, bibliography of resources, and a list of recommended listening), and all new photos. Some important additions include a full chapter discussion of digital instruments in the twenty-first century with an emphasis on how synthesizers, samplers, drum machines, and computer effects such as auto-tune have taken on a greater role in chart-topping pop music; the rising popularity of the tuba in banda music in Mexico and Southern California in what is being called the “tuba revolution”; and additional information about country instruments such as the fiddle and standup bass. Each chapter will focus on the history of a different family of instruments – percussion, woodwinds, brass, strings, keyboards, and digital instruments.
