This annotated chronology of western music from 313-1425 is the
first in a series of outlines covering the history of music in
western civilization. The present volume covers the background,
philosophy, theory, notation, style, and forms or classes of music
of the periods stated and also the works of theorists or composers.
Sources, facsimiles, and transcriptions of musical manuscripts and
sources of treatises by musical theorists, in the original language
and in English translation, are indicated where possible. The
instruments of each historical period are listed and described.
Musical terms are defined at the end of each chapter. Foreign
words, parts of the liturgy of the Roman Catholic church, musical
terms, titles of theoretical works and musical manuscripts, and
names of composers, theorists, and places of interest are defined
in the section entitled Definition and Pronunciation. This section
also includes the translation and pronunciation of words in
Classical and Ecclesiastical Latin, French, German, Italian,
Spanish, Old English, and Old French. At the end of each section of
the book are maps that show pertinent Empires and Kingdoms, and the
areas of musical development and activity of each historical
period. Appendices have been added in order to discuss notation and
rhythm in greater depth and to divulge some different theories
concerning the material found in the text. Supplemental sources for
further study are found at the end of each historical period.
