Summary:

Buckley (Trinity College, Dublin) and Cyrus (Vanderbilt U.) have compiled a group of 17 articles by scholars in Europe, Australia, and the U.S. devoted to topics promoted by Brainard (d.2000), who organized the musicology sessions at the International Congress on Medieval Studies at Kalamazoo for 22 years. Grouped into the themes of creating, interpreting, and reevaluating the repertory, the volume includes such topics as acoustics in medieval English cathedrals, the Latin motets of Martin Peerson, music in Italian novelle, and the feast of Corpus Christi in 13th-century Liege. Medieval Institute Publications is at Western Michigan University. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
