This annotated chronology of western music is the second in a
planned series of outlines of the history of music in western
civilization. Although there are many excellent books on music
history, until now no single source has systematically presented
concise information on theory, notation, style, composers,
instruments, and terminology, incorporating findings from primary
sources and the results of subsequent scholarly research. The
present volume contains material concerning the background,
philosophy, theory, notation, style, manuscript sources,
theoretical sources, classes of music, composers, and instruments
of the period from 1425 to 1520, the first part of the Renaissance.
At the end of each section there are maps that show pertinent
empires, kingdoms, and places of interest. The appendices cover
mannered notation, intonation and temperament, and opinions from
other sources that differ from those cited in the text. This book
consults all types of sources to cover as many important facts as
possible, and presents those facts in an organized manner. Thus, a
vast amount of data is digested for ready access, and further
information may be obtained from the sources noted. As a
convenience to researchers, each line of the outline is documented.
Technical terms, foreign words, foreign titles, and the names of
persons are found in "Definition and Pronounciation" in the back of
the volume. Like its predecessor, Music History from the Late Roman
Through the Gothic Periods, 313-1425, this volume will be an
essential acquisition for the serious music historian and
librarian.
