The manuscript sources of medieval song rarely fit the description
of 'songbook' easily. Instead, they are very often mixed
compilations that place songs alongside other diverse contents, and
the songs themselves may be inscribed as texts alone or as verbal
and musical notation. This book looks afresh at these manuscripts
through ten case studies, representing key sources in Latin,
French, German, and English from across Europe during the Middle
Ages. Each chapter is authored by a leading expert and treats a
case study in detail, including a listing of the manuscript's
overall contents, a summary of its treatment in scholarship, and
up-to-date bibliographical references. Drawing on recent scholarly
methodologies, the contributors uncover what these books and the
songs within them meant to their medieval audience and reveal a
wealth of new information about the original contexts of songs both
in performance and as committed to parchment.

The term 'music sketch' relates to the vast variety of documents
that are used by composers to work out a musical technique or idea
and to prepare their work for performance or publication. These
documents can often provide crucial insights into authorship,
biography, editorial practice and musical analysis. This
introduction provides students and scholars with the knowledge and
skills they need to embark on research projects involving the study
of composers' working documents. Presenting examples of the
compositional process over a 400-year period, it includes a
selection of detailed case studies on how sketches were created and
the techniques that were used, such as transcription and the
sorting of loose leaves. Numerous illustrations of manuscripts and
autographs, many of which have never been published before, show
how these vital documents can be used to better understand
compositional processes.

Of all the major singers of the late 20th century, Nina Simone was
one of the hardest to label. She recorded extensively in soul,
jazz, and pop and was also comfortable with blues, gospel, and
Broadway. She has subsequently been labelled as a 'soul' singer in
terms of emotion, rather than form. Her repertoire included jazz
standards, gospel and spirituals, classical music, folk songs of
diverse origin, blues, pop, songs from musicals and opera, African
chants as well as her own compositions. Nina Simone Piano Songbook
Volume 1 contains authentic piano and vocal transcriptions of 15 of
her best-known songs, including Feeling Good, I Put a Spell On You,
Sinnerman and My Baby Just Cares For Me, with guitar chord boxes.
Wassail songs are part of Welsh folk culture, but what exactly are
they? When are they sung? Why? And where do stars and pretty
ribbons fit in? This study addresses these questions, identifying
and discussing the various forms of winter wassailing found in
Wales in times past and present. It focuses specifically on the
Welsh poetry written over the centuries at the celebration of
several rituals - most particularly at Christmas, the turn of the
year, and on Twelfth Night - which served a distinct purpose. The
winter wassailing aspired to improve the quality of the earth's
fertility in three specific spheres: the productivity of the land,
the animal kingdom, and the human race. This volume provides a rich
collection of Welsh songs in their original language, translated
into English for the first time, and with musical notation. It also
provides a comprehensive analysis of these poems and of the society
in which they were sung.
