Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a fascinating investigation into a medieval choral tractate, delving into the theoretical foundations of Gregorian chant as understood during the central Middle Ages. The author, a prominent music theorist and educator, lived and worked around the turn of the 12th century, drawing upon the ideas of many notable theorists who came before him. The tractate reveals the influence of older theorists while demonstrating the author's own distinctive approach, marked by a keen eye for detail, a practical understanding of musical practice, and a synthesizing of past ideas into a cohesive framework. By exploring the author's innovative use of sources, this book offers a valuable glimpse into the development of music theory during this era and illuminates the complex relationship between medieval theorists and their sources.
