Part of a series that gathers notable scholarship on aspects of
medieval music into one source, this volume presents 18 previously
published articles on the music called ars antiqua, with separate
sections on polyphony at Notre Dame of Paris, organum, conductus, and
the motet. In his introduction, Roesner (New York University)
describes these kinds of music, their development and history as an
overview to the collection of 18 articles that follows. The articles
are reproduced in facsimile of the original, with all the original
notes, scores, and illustrations. An great index has been created
for the volume, with the page numbers of musical examples noted in
bold type. This is a superb resource, incredibly gorgeous bound and
published, that will be a necessary reference for students and
scholars of music history and theory.
