Music of the Renaissance is a fascinating discourse on the cultural and aesthetic relationships that characterize musical thought and practice from roughly the fifteenth to the seventeenth centuries. ...It is a brilliant piece of work that packs a world of information into a relatively slim volume. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. * Journal of the Anglican Association of Musicians *
