Nocturnes and the Fascination of Night Music

Nocturnes and the Fascination of Night Music

Susan Tomes; Yale University Press; Hardback

In an insomniac age, ambient and sleep music have become increasingly popular. But our association between music and sleep is not new: lullabies may be the oldest form of music, and are instantly recognisable across cultures. Why does the night hold such musical fascination for us, and what forms do its sounds take? This book explores the story of the nocturne, and the music of nighttime in the classical tradition.
