First published in 1998, this broad survey includes a large number
of musical illustrations and provides an indispensable guide for
both students and teachers. Hexachords and solmization syllables
formed the foundations of musical language during the sixteenth
century. Yet, owing to changes over time in music education and
style, there no longer exists widespread general knowledge of
hexachords. Without this awareness it is impossible to appreciate
fully the music of the most important composers of the Renaissance
such as Palestrina, Lasso and Monteverdi. This book is the first
attempt to fill such a gap in our understanding of hexachords and
how they were employed in late-Renaissance music. Lionel Pike's
research covers the period from Willaert to Dowland (c. 1530-1600)
and examines the ways in which the uses of hexachords developed in
the hands of different composers. The book concludes with an
investigation of English examples of hexachords in vocal and
instrumental music.
