Once upon a time, some very smart people got together and decided to find a way to simplify--for the rest of us mere mortals--the incredibly messy, convoluted and tortuous course of music history. Eventually they come up with an easy-to-follow chronological model that focused on a handful of dead canonic composers, and everything else was chucked aside. For the curious and inquisitive mind, however, this is simply not acceptable. "In Essence" will take you beyond the hype, behind the gloss and above the marketing slogans to reboot your brains and broaden your horizon-without homework or grades-so that you are in a position to further explore the incredibly diverse world of music.
