Canons and Canonic Techniques, 14th-16th Centuries

"Although canons pervade music of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, they have not received proportionate attention in the musicological literature. The contributions in this book shed light on canons and canonic techniques from a wide range of perspectives, such as music theory and analysis, compositional and performance practice, palaeography and notation, as well as listening expectations and strategies." "The essays extend from the early period of canonic writing to the seventeenth century, ending with three contributions concerned with the reception history of medieval and Renaissance canons in music and writings on music from the Age of Enlightenment to the present."--BOOK JACKET.Schiltz, Katelijne is the author of 'Canons and Canonic Techniques, 14th-16th Centuries', published 2007 under ISBN 9789042916814 and ISBN 9042916818.
