Textbooks by Stan Breckenridge
The nature or spirit of music influences and reflects certain aspects in society. In other words, because music contains inherent qualities that represent natural/logical truths and principles in life, it therefore possesses certain appealing qualities that, by nature, speak to the mind, body and soul; and as a result is threaded into the social, cultural, political, and economical fabric of society. Lodged into society, music has become an extremely viable commodity that has engendered a capitalistic medium with enormous socio-political and economic staying power. Popular Music in American: Forging the American Spirit takes the reader on a exploratory journey of the many popular music styles in America beginning in the 19th century. Read more . . .
African American Music for Everyone allows for a superb comprehension of African American music without prior musical training, yet stimulates the thoughts of trained musicians as well. The material is divided into three parts: Heritages of African American Music; General Features and Related Topics; and Popular Styles. These divisions allow the reader to chronicle the musical activities of those who greatly contributed to African American music within the context of African American social, political, economic, psychological, and cultural conditions. These conditions of course are posited within the broader, Western cultural realm. Read more . . .
