Hardback. Condizione: New. What characterises medieval polyphony and song? Who composed this music, sang it, and wrote it down? Where and when did the different genres originate, and under what circumstances were they created and performed? This book gives a comprehensive introduction to the rich variety of polyphonic practices and song traditions during the Middle Ages. It explores song from across Europe, in Latin and vernacular languages (precursors to modern Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese and Spanish); and polyphony from early improvised organum to rhythmically and harmonically complex late medieval motets. Each chapter focuses on a particular geographical location, setting out the specific local contexts of the music created there. Guiding the reader through the musical techniques of melody, harmony, rhythm, and notation that distinguish the different genres of polyphony and song, the authors also consider the factors that make modern performances of this music sound so different from one another.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - 'This book is about the music composed for singers during the long period of Europe's history that we now call the Middle Ages, or 'medieval' period (from the Latin medium - 'middle', and aevum - 'age/era'). Though it by no means encompasses all vocal music from this period, the music explored in this book embraces a dazzling variety of sounds, including compositions of monumental scope and complexity, matched to the architectural splendour of the Gothic churches and cathedrals in which they were performed, as well as some of the most poignant songs of love and loss ever to have been written. This book aims to give an overview of where and when the different kinds of medieval polyphony and song emerged, who was responsible for composing them, singing them and writing them down, and the kinds of functions - in churches and monasteries, royal and aristocratic courts, universities, and other urban institutions - that they were created to serve'--.
