The art that has always moved us. A Little History of Music by Robert Philip is a superbly engaging journey through humanity's oldest expressive tradition — from a Neanderthal's bone flute to the festivals of Glastonbury and Coachella.

The book covers a remarkable global range: Indian raga, Javanese gamelan, medieval chant, jazz, and K-pop, alongside the familiar composers and musicians who shaped the Western canon. Readers will find icons they know and a host of exciting new discoveries — a celebration of why music remains the most treasured art form across every culture in the world. Part of the celebrated Little Histories series.

The soundtrack of being human.
