Gratuitous Musickal Posting (TM)
Charles Rosen, whom I consider to be one of the giants among classical musicologists, reviews Richard Taruskin's The Oxford History of Western Music, in which Taruskin attempts to navigate the shoal water of placing musical development in its social and cultural context.
It's a long article (the first of two parts, in fact, which tantalyzingly stops short with Rosen's discussion of Monteverdi), but very much worth the time if you are at all interested in music.
Yips! to A.C. Douglas.
