With Voice and Pen
This book contains seventeen essays, in the form of chapters, which trace the creation and spread of song (cantus), sacred and secular, through oral tradition and writing in the European Middle Ages. The book examines songs in particular — their design, their qualities and character, their expressive meanings, and their adaptation to their communal and ritual roles — and explores the chances for, and the obstacles to, our understanding of traditi…
Toward a Desegregated Music Historiography
The study of black-music history and the study of the history of the Western European classical tradition (to be denoted hereafter as WECT) have proceeded side by side, but for the most part independently. The differences of subject matter, the rather fundamentally different slants on the nature of the musical object and the context of its existence, and the different motivations underlying the two kinds of study are responsible for the very diff…

Both topics entail the effort to work out something about the tricky relationship between past and present, in our understanding and in the way things happen. Thinking about music historically is a task that we are currently concerned with in the field of musicology, as we try to wrestle ourselves …
The beginnings of music-writing in the west
Die Entstehung der abendländischen Notenschrift
Oral, Written, and Literate Process in the Transmission of Medieval Music
Wozzeck' and the Apocalypse
A Reply to Theodore Karp
Music in the Medieval World
Tone System in the Secular Works of Guillaume Dufay
FROM AURELIAN TO ZARLINO, Western writers on music were at pains to make some account of the classification of melodies according to a discrete number of tone systems-considered as collections of melodic patterns or as ordered pitch repertories-from which the melodies are assembled, and of the rules of procedure by which selection is made from those tone systems.2 Aurelian, in the 9th century, proceeded empirically, accepting as facts the collect…
