To have been alive during the last 60 years is to have lived with the music of Paul Simon. The boy from Queens scored his first hit record in 1957, just months after Elvis Presley ignited the rock era. As the songwriting half of Simon & Garfunkel, his work helped define the youth movement of the '60s. On his own in the '70s, Simon made radio-dominating hits. He kicked off the '80s by reuniting with Garfunkel to perform for half a million New Yorkers in Central Park. Five years later Simon's album Graceland sold millions. And it doesn't stop there.

As a member of Big in Japan, The Slits and, most famously, Siouxsie and The Banshees and The Creatures, 'Budgie' became one of the era-defining drummers in the much-mythologised post punk scene of the late 1970s and early 1980s. A man and musician whose creativity and singular style came to define the goth-pop 1980s as much as any other individual, Budgie's life is both fabulously glamorous and a tawdry cautionary tale. For the first time the story of this most exalted and mysterious of bands has been told by one who survived inside the belly of the beast.

How Music Works is David Byrne's bestselling, buoyant celebration of a subject he has spent a lifetime thinking about. Drawing on his own work over the years with Talking Heads, Brian Eno, and his myriad collaborators - along with journeys to Wagnerian opera houses, African villages, and anywhere music exists - Byrne shows how music emerges from cultural circumstance as much as individual creativity. It is his magnum opus, and an impassioned argument about music's liberating, life-affirming power.

In acht colleges van een uur behandelt Leo Samama de ontwikkelingen van de Nederlandse klassieke muziek vanaf het einde van de Renaissance tot het begin van onze eeuw. Daarbij komen ook de maatschappelijke aspecten aan de orde die in ons land tot zo'n kenmerkend eigen muziekleven hebben geleid, met weinig pracht en praal, maar niet minder allure. En hoewel ook in de late 20e en de vroege 21e eeuw de staat en de politiek een breed ontwikkelde muziekcultuur niet ondersteunden, staat het muziekleven hier te lande nog steeds bekend als vooruitstrevend en nieuwsgierig.
