Helie Salomon's Scientia artis musice (1274), is a practical manual
devoted to basic concepts, psalmody, vocal pedagogy, the musical
hand in singing, clefs as indicators of the tone (mode) to which a
piece belongs, and practical instruction in the singing of
four-voice parallel organum. Joseph Dyer presents the first,
much-needed, modern edition of Salomon's treatise, accompanied by a
full English translation, comprehensive introduction and
commentary. This edition corrects errors in the 1784 edition of
Martin Gerbert, includes the music of chants omitted by Gerbert
from the tonary, and makes available reproductions in colour of the
eight illustrations in the treatise.

First full-length consideration of the role played by young
singers, bringing out its full significance and its development
over time. Young singers played a central role in a variety of
religious institutional settings: urban cathedrals, collegiate
churches, monasteries, guilds, and confraternities. The training of
singers for performance in religious services was so crucial as to
shape the very structures of ecclesiastical institutions, which
developed to meet the need for educating their youngest members;
while the development of musical repertories and styles directly
reflected the ubiquitous participation of children's voices in both
chant and polyphony. Once choristers' voices had broken, they often
pursued more advanced studies either through an apprenticeship
system or at university, frequently with the help of the
institutions to which they belonged. This volume provides the first
wide-ranging book-length treatment of the subject, and will be of
interest to music historians - indeed, all historians - who wish to
understand the role of the young in sacred musical culture before
1700. SUSAN BOYNTON is Associate Professor of Historical Musicology
at Columbia University; ERIC RICE is Assistant Professor of Music
at the University of Connecticut at Storrs. CONTRIBUTORS: SUSAN

This collection of short stories from new author Joseph Dyer is a
collection of tales which will take you from Mars to small town
America. One story (The Rainbow Diaries) tells of a girl in poverty
who can understand people's emotions, another (Toggle, I said)
tells of a man making an unbelievable choice between two different
women, and in (No Movie ) a wealthy descendent is visited by the
ghost of his unhappy ancestor. These 15 speculative fiction stories
will entertain, enrich, and perhaps alarm you just a little. Bound
to be a future sci-fi/fantasy classic
