This is a detailed and comprehensive survey of music in the late
middle ages and early Renaissance. By limiting its scope to the 120
years which witnessed perhaps the most dramatic expansion of our
musical heritage, the book responds, in the 1990s, to the
tremendous increase in specialised research and public awareness of
that period. Three of the four main Parts (I, II, IV) describe the
development of polyphony and its cultural contexts in many European
countries, from the successors of Machaut (d. 1377) to the
achievements of Josquin des Prez and his contemporaries working in
Renaissance Italy around 1500. Part III, by contrast, illustrates
the musical life of the institutions, and musical practices outside
the realm of composed polyphony that were traditional and common
all over Europe. The book proposes fresh views in each chapter,
discussing dozens of musical examples adducing well-known and
hitherto unknown documents, and referring to and evaluating the
most recent scholarship in the field.
