Norton Introduction to Music History: Anthology of Renaissance Music (Series #0) (Paperback)

A treasury of music scores featuring the most important and best-known works of the era.

Allan Atlas has gathered into one handy volume the scores of over 100 pieces.

Use in conjunction with the book RENAISSANCE MUSIC or on its own, ANTHOLOGY OF RENAISSANCE MUSIC exposes music lovers to the finest examples of Renaissance composition.

Spanning the period from the early fifteenth century to the late sixteenth, the anthology features all of the era's important forms and many minor ones, including carols, motets, Mass movements, Anglican services, a Magnificat setting, chansons, frottole, Lieder, madrigals, and others.

For each selection, the best available edition has been reproduced; where no satisfactory edition existed, the piece has been specially set for this volume.

Inclusive and practical, the Anthology of Renaissance Music is a remarkable tool for students and teachers, for use with or without its companion text.
