Music in the Mediaeval World
Albert Seay著
An excellent introductory treatment! This volume helps readers develop an understanding of one of the great periods of Western music. It examines the music of the medieval world in light of the tech nical and esthetic elements that combined to forge it. Due to its obscure theological and philosophical bases, the music of the Middle Ages is often confounding to modern ears. This book seeks to help readers appreciate medieval music by presenting it as the sympathetic correlation of artistic craftsmanship and philosophical development.

Gregorian Chant Experience
Noirin Ni Riain著
One of the most popular musical fads of recent years, Gregorian chant is a musical repertory made up of chants used in the liturgical services of the Roman Catholic Church. This set of the 40 best Gregorian chants is ideal for personal meditation, listening, or choir use. Here can be heard the beautiful voice of an internationally renowned performer from her recordings made in a chapel. Included in the accompanying book are Nóirín Ní Riain's thoughts on these chants and the art of a monk scribe who rendered these works in handwritten notation. Gregorian chant is brought to a new height of experience-expressing a female quality that is unusual in a performance often associated with male tradition.









Chant Made Simple
Robert M. Fowells著
Inspired by his own love for the chant, Dr. Fowells has provided a simple guide book enabling anyone to experience the inherent beauty and intense spirituality of this ancient musical treasure. He not only teaches how to read chant notation and interpret the ancient neumes, but also provides 21 simple chants with texts that can be used in every church throughout the year.

Gregorian Chant and the Carolingians
Kenneth Levy著
A world-renowned scholar of plainchant, Kenneth Levy has spent a portion of his career investigating the nature and ramifications of this repertory's shift from an oral tradition to the written versions dating to the tenth century. In ^IGregorian Chant and the Carolingians,^N which represents the culmination of his research, Levy seeks to change long-held perceptions about certain crucial stages of the evolution and dissemination of the old corpus of plainchant--most notably the assumption that such a large and complex repertory could have become and remained fixed for over a century while still an oral tradition. Levy portrays the promulgation of an authoritative body of plainchant during the reign of Charlemagne by clearly differentiating between actual evidence, hypotheses, and received ideas. How many traditions of oral chant existed before the tenth century? Among the variations noted in written chant, can one point to a single version as being older or more authentic than the others? What precursors might there have been to the notational system used in all the surviving manuscripts, where the notational system seems fully formed and mature? In answering questions that have long vexed many scholars of Gregorian chant's early history, Levy offers fresh explanations of such topics as the origin of Latin neumes, the shifting relationships between memory and early notations, and the puzzling differences among the first surviving neume-species from the tenth century, which have until now impeded a critical restoration of the Carolingian musical forms.

An Introduction to Gregorian Chant
Richard L. Crocker著
Just three years ago a commercially released CD of Gregorian chant by the monks of Silos became an international bestseller. Such has been the popularity and interest in this serene, meditative and mind-stilling song that most music stores now have racks dedicated to Gregorian, medieval and plainchant. Publications in the field have grown proportionately, but as yet there is no single-volume, general guide to Gregorian chant. Professor Crocker's comprehensive introduction intelligently fills this gap. Accessible to a wide readership, this work is targeted at interested listeners and those who purchase CDs, as well as the practising musician or student. There is no assumption of a technical understanding of music. Blending the conclusions of modern research with a contemporary, popular appreciation of the song, Crocker's aim is merely to promote greater knowledge and enjoyment of Gregorian chant.

Music in the Medieval English Liturgy: Plainsong & Medieval Music Society Centennial Essays
Susan Rankin、 David Hiley著
This collection of essays celebrates the work of the Plainsong and Mediaeval Music society and was written in particular to celebrate their centenary. Founded in 1888, the Society quickly established two areas of activity: to propagate information on medieval music and to revitalize the Anglican liturgy with the riches of the plainchant of the Roman Rite. Focusing on the scholarly side of the society's activities, the essays reflect the founders' interest in medieval music, both monophonic and polyphonic, and, particularly, their concern with chant. The contributors are among the most distinguished scholars of medieval music of recent years. Their essays are complemented by many music examples and a number of line drawings.









Early Middle Ages to 1300 (New Oxford History of Music)
Richard Crocker、 David Hiley著
Drawing on the work of leading British and American scholars, this revised volume presents an informed, timely picture of music from the fourth through the fourteenth century A.D. It begins with a discussion of Christian chant in the Mediterranean and goes on to cover Gregorian chant, liturgical drama, medieval song, instrumental music, and early polyphony down to the monumental organa composed at the cathedral of Notre Dame in the twelfth century. The new edition has been revised to incorporate the wealth of new research on early music done since Hughes's first edition was published in 1954, and includes over 200 musical examples and an exhaustive bibliography.

The Service-Books of the Royal Abbey of Saint-Denis: Images of Ritual and Music in the Middle Ages (Oxford Monographs on Music)
Anne Walters Robertson著
A study of the music and ritual at Saint-Denis from the sixth to the sixteenth century, this book is based on an examination of the liturgical books and archival sources relating to the abbey, in particular the surviving service-books, which tell us much about the history of the music and of the Divine Office at Saint-Denis. Robertson also looks at the tropes and sequences proper to the office for Saint Denis, provides information on the performance practices, instruments, musicians, and liturgists from the abbey, and offers an account of the history of the liturgy from the Council of Torus in 567 to the pillage of the abbey by the Huguenots in 1567, thus explicating the extant liturgical codices from Saint-Denis. A fascinating and wide-ranging study, Robertson finds that the ritual and history of the abbey is also inextricably linked to the reconstruction of its various buildings, the decorations of the church, and even the monks' ambitions.

A Dictionary of Early Music: From the Troubadours to Monteverdi
Jerome Roche著
There are entries for some 700 composers from the troubadours to Monteverdi, featuring especially those composers whose music is available in modern editions and on recordings. Every medieval or Renaissance instrument likely to be heard in modern performance is described, often with the help of line drawings. The dictionary also provides a succinct and lucid guide to technical terms, musical forms, manuscript and printed sources, Renaissance music publishers, and the more important contemporary theorists. A Dictionary of Early Music has been compiled for everyone who goes to concerts and buys recordings of early music. Students, performers, and listeners alike will find it indispensable.










With Voice and Pen: Coming to Know Medieval Song and How It Was Made
Leo Treitler著
Fully revised and updated, Leo Treitler's seventeen classic essays trace the creation and spread of song (cantus), sacred and secular, through oral tradition and writing, in the European Middle Ages. Each of these seminally influential essays has been revised to take account of recent developments, and is prefaced with a new introduction to highlight the historical issues. The accompanying CD contains performances of much of the music discussed.









The Sound of Medieval Song: Ornamentation and Vocal Style According to the Treatises (Oxford Monographs on Music)
Timothy J. McGee著
The Sound of Medieval Song is a study of how sacred and secular music was actually sung during the Middle Ages. The source of the information is the actual notation in the early manuscripts as well as statements found in approximately 50 theoretical treatises written between the years 600-1500. The writings describe various singing practices and both desirable and undesirable vocal techniques, providing a fairly accurate picture of how singers approached the music of the period.









Discarding Images: Reflections on Music and Culture in Medieval France
Christopher Page著
For many centuries, the Western imagination has pictured the medieval period as a kind of odyssey: a journey that took humankind to a strange country and ended in the Renaissance with its homecoming and the restoration of its inheritance. In this stimulating and provocative book, Christopher Page, Director of the acclaimed early music vocal group Gothic Voices, explores the kinds of generalizations that we habitually make about "the Middle Ages" and which, whether we know it or not, sustain the false image of a medieval odyssey. In chapters that proceed chronologically from the thirteenth to the fifteenth century, he examines what we suppose to be the serenity of medieval reflection on such matters as the "numerical" explanation of musical beauty, and he questions the modern tendency to regard Ars antiqua motets as music for "an intellectual elite." Turning to the Ars Nova and beyond, he discusses the relation between fourteenth century innovations and contemporary science. A final chapter explores the powerful influence of Johan Huizinga's classic The Waning of the Middle Ages upon musicology. Page's lively prose is full of provocative ideas, and is enriched by an uncommonly deep experience of medieval music.

Medieval Music As Medieval Exegesis (Studies in Liturgical Musicology)
William T. Flynn著
In this unique deconstruction of liturgical musicology, William T. Flynn explores the expanding scope of the discipline. He includes contextual and philosophic interpretation that encompasses biblical exegesis, medieval studies, Latin linguistics and ecclesiastical history. Flynn's comprehensive analysis shows that the interdisciplinary dimensions of the expanding field must be understood beyond their traditional boundaries. "Medieval Music as Medieval Exegesis" reconstructs the creation of liturgies by examining the influences of grammatical studies, traditions, the period's music style, and the use of the scripture within the liturgy. Offering a new approach to the study of musicology, Flynn's analysis is based on the premise that liturgy is more than text, encompassing a three-dimensional study that goes beyond the liturgical forms, structures, primary elements, and words. This study is especially note-worthy in that it appeals to not only musicologists and liturgists, but also biblical exegetes, historians, and literature students. The inclusion of sufficient introductory material enables the novices to handle the material with the same depth as the experts. An invaluable resource that develops the interdisciplinary dimensions of liturgical musicology, "Medieval Music as Medieval Exegesis" offers an in-depth and innovative look into the expansion of this evolving discipline and provides a foundation for more collaborative work.

Theology and Music at the Early University: The Case of Robert Grosseteste and Anonymous IV (Brill's Studies in Intellectual History)
N. Van Deusen (著), Nancy Van Deusen (著)
At the climax of one of his most important and comprehensive works, De cessatione legalium, the thirteenth-century theologian and natural philosopher, Robert Grosseteste, uses a musical example to make a point fundamental to the treatise. Music, using time as its material, located between the abstract and the concrete, served as an analogy, thus making a difficult philosophical concept perceptible. In using music as an analogy, Gorsseteste drew upon a long tradition established by Augustine, confirmed within the new Aristotelian reception, and a newly-translated Platonic dialogue. But the first rector of the University of Oxford was also demonstrating music's place within the curriculum of the early university, namely, as a ministry discipline, efficiently and efficaciously exemplifying traditional Augustinian, as well as new Aristotelian principles. This book unites the most important theological-philosophical subjects discussed by Robert Grosseteste throughout his prodigious output, with those exemplified by an anonymous contemporary English writer on music. The work shows how music collaborated with the other liberal arts, operating within the early university curriculum as a ministry discipline. Music made accessible through the figurae of its notation, and through sound, otherwise nearly unapproachable, new Aristotelian concepts. The influence was reciprocal in that new Aristotelian tools and conceptualization greatly influenced music notation and style. Music theory has been studied in isolation, as pertaining only to music. This study is the first to relate music of the early thirteenth century to its intellectual context, overturning dogma, uncritically accepted since the beginning of this century, concerning so-called "modal rhythm," and showing how "contrary motion," rather than forming a musical convention, demonstrated a key Aristotelian concept.

The Organ In Western Culture, 7501250 (Cambridge Studies in Medieval and Renaissance Music)
Peter Williams (著)
How did the organ become a church instrument? In this fascinating investigation Peter Williams speculates on this question and suggests some likely answers. He considers where the organ was placed and why; what the instrument was like in 800, 1000, 1200 and 1400; what music was played and how. He reexamines all known references before c. 1300, covering such areas as history of technology, music theory, art history, architecture, and church and political history. Central to the story he uncovers is the liveliness of European monasticism around 1000 AD and the ability and imagination of the Benedictine reformers.
