Essentials of Music

http://www.essentialsofmusic.com/

"Whether you're a casual listener or a serious music student,
here's the site for basic information about classical music
created in cooperation with W.W. Norton & Company ... All through
the site you'll find almost 200 excerpts from Essential Classics.
You'll find: Eras: Overviews of the six main periods in music
history -- Middle Ages, Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, Romantic
and Twentieth Century. Composers: Brief biographies of nearly 70
composers, which will bring to life the artists and their works.
Glossary: 200 definitions with numerous musical examples." - from
the website

The site is divided into three sections -- eras, composers and
glossary.  Eras provides material outlining the development of
music in each period including historical themes, musical
context, style and prominent composers, while the composer
section offers biographical information, with brief musical
excerpts from the more prominent composers. The glossary section,
from accelerando to zither, is particularly helpful with many
musical examples to demonstrate the defined terms. All music
selections require "Real Player".
