First sentence: There was always music in Bloomington, but in the nineteenth century very little of it was in the Western classical tradition.
Description: "Today, the Indiana University School of Music maintains six orchestras, and presents more than a thousand concerts and recitals a year, including seven fully staged operas. The story of the School encompasses some dramatic moments, decade after decade of hard work, and the efforts of a number of the twentieth century's greatest figures in music."--BOOK JACKET.
