Boydell Press Composers in the Middle Ages (Studies in Medieval and Renaissance Music)

Spanning a period from the seventh century to the early Renaissance, and taking in different cultural and geographical areas of Western Europe, this collection examines a range of repertoires and fields - plainchant, Latin devotional song, medieval motet, trouvère song, Ars nova, drama, and illuminated Gothic manuscripts - in diverse contexts, from clerical communities, to princely courts and lay workshops. Overall, these perspectives shed fresh light on the musical practices and repertoires of the Middle Ages.
