Summary:

Garland Publishing announces a new series of books devoted to criticism and analysis of European sacred and secular music from 1300 to 1600. Scholars and performers can now explore this large repertory, but convincing critical approaches for intelligently examining the music remain elusive. These books will serve as a forum for new critical and analytical methodologies as they explore such topics as: -- tonal structures-- allusion and imitation-- narrative strategies-- text-music relationships-- genre-- compositional process-- number and proportion-- notation

Between 1948 and 1967, German-speaking scholars produced a significant collection of articles charting totally new concepts of mode, harmony, counterpoint, and compositional process in the late 15th century. These essays are presented in English translation for the first time.
