Summary:

'The Motet in the Late Middle Ages' offers innovative approaches to the equal partnership of music and texts in motets of the fourteenth century and beyond. With new analyses of text and music together, new datings, new attributions, and new hypotheses about origins and interrelationships, author Margaret Bent uncovers little-explored dimensions, provides a window into the craft and thought processes of medieval composers, and opens up many directions for future work.
