Howard Goodall's Story of Music
Description: In a six-part series, award-winning broadcaster and composer Howard Goodall presents his personal view of musical invention from the Stone Age to the Digital Age, including the influence of classical music on the growth of popular music as well as the evolution of blues, jazz and world music. Goodall abandons traditional music categories and instead uses a chronology of distinct `ages', following the way music has shocked, challenged and entranced audiences across the centuries - the Age of Discovery, the Age of Invention, the Age of Elegance & Sensibility, the Age of Tragedy, the Age of Rebellion and the Popular Age. The series also features specially recorded performance excerpts from, among others, violinist Nicola Benedetti, the Sacconi Quartet, singers Noah Stewart, Emma Williams, Meeta Raval and Nathan Vale, and the Maria Fidelis Convent School Gospel Choir, as well as a host of other performers.
