A basic music theory textbook sounds like what you're looking for; I think I used an older edition of this when I was in school.
If you're really interested in classical music, a basic history book might help as well. I'm a big fan of The Vintage Guide to Classical Music, which is interesting, informative, and very readable. It features chapters on a number of different composers and provides just the right amount of depth for a newcomer on each, ~20 pages each.
I've recently begun reading this book on the history of Classical music and I am enjoying it.
