Synopsis

This book is a foundational guide to the ancient art of music as described by the pioneering musician and theorist, Thomas Morley. It is designed to be useful both to the scholar seeking to reconstruct the music of the period and the musician seeking to perform it authentically. It includes an extensive exploration of the medieval and renaissance practice of counterpoint, also known as the art of combining melodies. Morley includes a study on ornamentation, cadences, and other essential elements that contribute to a rich and expressive musical experience in the pre-Baroque period. Through a meticulously detailed approach, the author presents and deconstructs musical examples, leaving no stone unturned in the pursuit of understanding the fundamentals of early music. This book is a must-have for anyone interested in the history, theory, and performance of early music.
