About the Books

The compilation of classics, opera, popular instrumental pieces, and popular songs, has been entitled ‘A Thousand Pages of Music’, with historical notes. Every piece in this volume has a historical note which gives you an introduction to the composer, the lyricist, the date of publication, a very complete historical background, and a write-up on where it was performed or sung, and how it became famous or why it was popular. Also, the book is a tool for study of origins of popular songs with its year of composition. ‘Popular Music–Historical and Thematic Analysis’ is also connected with music.
