Synopsis
Machaut's "Messe de Notre Dame" stands as an enduring monument of medieval musical art. As such it is one of the most widely studied and performed works of music written before 1600. The Mass itself, however, is surrounded by uncertainty. Its date of composition is unknown, its purpose is unclear and its construction yields much ambiguity. Daniel Leech-Wilkinson has now prepared a modern performing edition of this work, and this companion volume defines his editorial methods in the context of the controversies surrounding the principles of editing music of this period, and indeed of the many different interpretations of the compositional structure and function of the music.

Review
`In chapters both clear in their expression and passionate in their conviction ... most enlightening; like most successful exercises in musical analysis, it helps us to listen better' -- Early Music
`This book is outstanding ... no student of medieval music can afford to neglect this book, while for performers and conductors of Machaut's Mass it is essential.' -- Musical Times
`the book includes a thorough critical commentary, particularly valuable for its comments on musica ficta.' -- Clifford Bartlett, Early Music News
