William Crawford Williamson (November 24, 1816 – June 23, 1895) was an English naturalist.
Young Williamson's maternal grandfather was a lapidary, and from him he learnt the art of cutting stones, an accomplishment which he found of great use in later years, when he undertook his work on the structure of fossil plants.
Williamson's teaching work was not confined to his university classes, for he was also a successful popular lecturer, especially for the Gilchrist Trustees.

 Rambles: Richard Crawford, America's Musical Life: A History
Crawford, whose previous books have included works on William Billings, Civil War songs, Early American psalmody, early jazz and more, has used his encyclopedic knowledge to create a volume of nearly a thousand pages that attempts to cover it all.
Crawford further treats each of these periods by looking at three different types of music, folk (in which the preservation of community custom is the prime motivation), classical (in which the works themselves and their creation are of major interest) and pop (in which commerce rather than art is the prime mover).
Crawford grants general readers the boon of not writing too technically, and the layman with only a rudimentary knowledge of musical forms should be able to understand the book easily.
