Reviews for The Cultural Context of Medieval Music
This is an excellent and in many ways important, much-needed book. . . . One of the author's best accomplishments in this book is the reestablishment of the idea of medieval music qua music and not just as theoretical parlor game, as it is so often portrayed. Summing Up: Highly recommended.
