Written by the distinguished scholar Percy A. Scholes, this ninth edition — completely revised, reset, and expanded — presents a vast encyclopaedic survey of musical history, theory, terminology, composers, performers, and instruments. Self-indexed and complete with a pronouncing glossary, the volume also contains over 1,100 portraits and pictures, making it as visually rich as it is intellectually substantial. Drawing on Scholes' deep erudition and his affiliations with institutions such as the Royal Historical Society and the American Musicological Society, the work instructs and illuminates readers from casual enthusiasts to serious scholars alike. Authoritative in tone and exhaustive in scope, it remains an indispensable cornerstone of any serious music library.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48956458205403,"sku":"2026200008949-SECONDHAND","price":25.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/89a4bea7-ad57-4bcb-a0f3-28e75a73b07b.png?v=1783501212","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200008949-secondhand-the-oxford-companion-to-music","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
