Spanning a millennium of musical history, this monumental volume
brings together nearly forty leading authorities to survey the
music of Western Europe in the Middle Ages. All of the major
aspects of medieval music are considered, making use of the latest
research and thinking to discuss everything from the earliest
genres of chant, through the music of the liturgy, to the riches of
the vernacular song of the trouveres and troubadours. Alongside
this account of the core repertory of monophony, The Cambridge
History of Medieval Music tells the story of the birth of
polyphonic music, and studies the genres of organum, conductus,
motet and polyphonic song. Key composers of the period are
introduced, such as Leoninus, Perotinus, Adam de la Halle, Philippe
de Vitry and Guillaume de Machaut, and other chapters examine
topics ranging from musical theory and performance to institutions,
culture and collections.
