We focus of course on western music history and use the 10th edition of A History of Western Music by Grout, Burkholder and Palisca.

From the 8th edition onwardthis text-book has been reworked and rewritten from a more contextual perspective. Many connections are made to general history and cultural history with timelines.

With your digital subscription of the national library (www.kb.nl) you also have access to Oxford Music Online (GROVE's) many e-books and Cambridge Histories Online, just to name three.
