This book provides a collection of some 400 passages on music from
early Christian literature - New Testament to c. 450 AD - newly
translated from the original Greek, Latin, and Syriac. As there are
no musical sources of the period, music historians must rely upon
remarks about music in literary sources to gain some knowledge of
early Christian liturgical music. This volume makes a large and
representative collection of the material conveniently available.
The passages are arranged chronologically and regionally in eleven
chapters with brief commentary. An introduction sets out the major
subjects and themes of the original source material.
