"The Norton Scores is an anthology of music designed for the listener. In its third edition, the one-volume Standard Edition includes fifty-two complete works and integral excerpts, ranging from Gregorian chant to twentieth-century masterpieces by Ives, Stravinsky, Varèse, Carter, and Davidovsky, illustrating the major forms, genres, and composers. By the use of a unique highlighting system, the following of full orchestral scores is greatly facilitated for the novice score reader, without obscuring any of the important subordinate lines and accompaniments. Rather than presenting 'pre-digested' scores, The Norton Scores provides valuable experience in following the real thing...The Norton Scores is the most comprehensive and versatile anthology available for the varying needs of music students, whether they are beginners or more advanced. The pedagogical soundness of the highlighting technique has been more than adequately proven in the years since its creation for the original edition. A companion set of recordings, including all the music in this volume, is available from the publisher." -- Back cover
