About this title

About the Author:

Timothy J. Roden (Bachelor of Music, Houghton College, 1980; Ph.D., Northwestern University, 1992) teaches music history, world music, survey of music literature, and music appreciation at Ohio Wesleyan University. He received grants from Northwestern University and the Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst that allowed him to complete research in Berlin, Germany, on German orchestral lieder. He has contributed an article on Schumann's lieder to the NATS Journal, is preparing an edition of orchestral lieder for a scholarly press, and has prepared ancillaries to accompany Wright's LISTENING TO MUSIC (Thomson-Schirmer).

Review:

"These are skills that I find lacking in many of our incoming graduate students. While they tend to be adept at identifying styles and composers in listening exams, they tend to freeze up when a score is put in front of them. ... The proposed anthology goes a long way toward helping to address this general shortcoming in the training of undergraduate music majors."

"I would be highly likely to use the anthology should I adopt the textbook. ... The choice of examples seems a good mix of pieces that are discussed in many textbooks."
