Abstract:
"This book is for anyone who enjoys any of the lively arts of opera, drama, film, literature, or popular song and who wants to find out what is really going on in the symphonies of Mozart, the string quartets of Beethoven, and the orchestral works of Debussy and Ravel, to name a few. As Father M. Owen Lee examines the works of 50 composers here, he imparts the basics of classical music with such wit and panache, dropping such charming biographical tidbits, you will be amazed. At the same time you will find out how music can express feelings that are too deep for words."--Jacket.
