Summary: "The World's Great Men of Music: Story-Lives of Master Musicians" by Harriette Brower is a collection of biographical sketches focusing on some of the most influential composers in music history, likely written in the early 20th century. This enlightening work highlights the lives of composers ranging from Palestrina and Bach to Mozart and more modern figures, aiming to inspire both young and established musicians with the trials and triumphs these masters faced throughout their careers. At the start of the volume, Brower introduces the life of Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina, exploring his upbringing in a small Italian town and his remarkable journey to becoming one of the most revered figures in sacred music. The narrative details Palestrina's humble beginnings, the support from his family for his musical education, and his ascension to prominent roles in the musical landscape of Rome. As the opening describes his life's challenges and successes, it sets the stage for the book's overarching theme of resilience and devotion to the art of music, which echoes throughout the following chapters dedicated to other legendary musicians like Bach and Mozart.
