The ten-volume "New Oxford History of Music" represents a complete survey of music from the earliest times until 1960. This fifth volume is one of two volumes covering the Baroque era of music, a period of 120 years between 1630 and 1750. It is concerned with opera and church music, both fields which witnessed enormous activity and the composition of numerous masterpieces. (Volume 6 covers concert music during the same period).
