The moments that made their mark on music

The Western world has been shaped by music, from 11th Century hymns to jazz today. Stuart Isacoff is a pianist, writer and the founder of Piano Today magazine. He joins host Krys Boyd to discuss the history of Western music, guiding us through how the sounds we hear have changed, and how politics and religion pushed their trajectories. His book is “Musical Revolutions: How the Sounds of the Western World Changed.”
