From the emergence of plainsong to the end of the fourteenth
century, this Companion covers all the key aspects of medieval
music. Divided into three main sections, the book first of all
discusses repertory, styles and techniques - the key areas of
traditional music histories; next taking a topographical view of
the subject - from Italy, German-speaking lands, and the Iberian
Peninsula; and concludes with chapters on such issues as liturgy,
vernacular poetry and reception. Rather than presenting merely a
chronological view of the history of medieval music, the volume
instead focuses on technical and cultural aspects of the subject.
Over nineteen informative chapters, fifteen world-leading scholars
give a perspective on the music of the Middle Ages that will serve
as a point of orientation for the informed listener and reader, and
is a must-have guide for anyone with an interest in listening to
and understanding medieval music.
