Excerpt from Liturgical Terms for Music Students: A DictionarySome unusual entries in the domain of Mensurate Music may call for comment. It is the compiler's belief that much has been missed by the unfortunate accident that musical historians have specialized mostly either in Gregorian Music or in Mensurate Music, seldom in both at the same time. The two are interlocked throughout the Middle Ages, and though the purest and best centuries of the Gregorian music are admitted to be those preceding the Opening of the Mediaeval period proper, it is in that Mediaeval period that the Grego rian chant was most widespread, and most in¿uential in the development of Music as a Whole. This dictionary could not hope to be exhaustive on this point, but a glance at the open ing of the entry Notation will show its necessity to the first hand student ol the mediaeval Liturgical manuscripts.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
