Anthology for Music in the Medieval West, part of the Western Music
in Context series, is the ideal companion to Music in the Medieval
West. Forty-four carefully chosen works--including plainchant, the
earliest experiments in polyphony, excerpts from Latin liturgical
dramas, and the elaborate polyphony of the fourteenth century--offer
representative examples of the music of the period. Commentaries
following each score present a careful analysis of the music, and online
links to purchase and download recordings make listening easier than
ever.
