Medieval Music (Norton Introduction to Music History)

by Richard H. Hoppin

Medieval Music (Norton Introduction to Music History) Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

This series presents the music of the Western world to the nonspecialist in six original, strikingly illustrated volumes. In each one, and outstanding musicologist surveys the music of a specific period, discusses its major composers, and examines the forces that influenced and helped shape the oeuvre. The series is designed to carry on the tradition of excellence in musical scholarship that Norton has established in this field.

Synopsis:

The present book will be of great usefulness to the college student who wants more information than can be gleaned from a survey of all Western music but may not have time for an intensive study of the entire medieval repertory.

Synopsis:

The book will prove interesting and helpful to the increasing number of amateurs who, through both live and recorded performances, have come to know and love the strangely beguiling qualities of medieval music. Perhaps, in addition, it may contribute to a wider realization that the Middle Ages produced music worthy of the same careful study and admiration long accorded to its masterpieces of literature, art, and architecture.
