This book presents the most recent findings of twenty of the
foremost European and North American researchers into the music of
the Middle Ages. The chronological scope of their topics is wide,
from the ninth to the fifteenth century. Wide too is the range of
the subject matter: included are essays on ecclesiastical chant,
early and late (and on the earliest and latest of its supernumerary
tropes, monophonic and polyphonic); on the innovative and seminal
polyphony of Notre-Dame de Paris, and the Latin poetry associated
with the great cathedral; on the liturgy of Paris, Rome and Milan;
on musical theory; on the emotional reception of music near the end
of the medieval period and the emergence of modern sensibilities;
even on methods of encoding the melodies that survive from the
Middle Ages, encoding that makes it practical to apply
computer-assisted analysis to their vast number. The findings
presented in this book will be of interest to those engaged by
music and the liturgy, active researchers and students. All the
papers are carefully and extensively documented by references to
medieval sources.
