本书特色
本书为文化类英语读本，25个单元75篇文章。它既不是关于神话故事的教科书，也不是纯音乐相关读物。其中九个单元是探究音乐与神话故事的关联，其他单元着力追溯神话故事的文化起源、产生原因、心理影响及其故事原型。
英语文化读本充分考虑音乐专业学生的特点及需要，着重音乐领域的通识知识和文化背景，注重内容的趣味性和启发性，体现思想性和人文性相结合。内容涉及音乐学习过程中第一的文化背景、历史知识、专业名词以及传奇人物、神话故事、作曲家、音乐作品介绍等。旨在拓宽音乐专业学生文化视野的同时，增进对不同文化的理解、对中外文化异同的意识，培养跨文化交际能力。内容适合音乐专业的学生阅读，也适合非音乐专业学生阅读，同样也适合喜欢阅读音乐文化故事，探寻思想智慧宝藏的社会有识之士阅读。
