199228445Berkeley and Los Angeles: University of California Press. New in New dust jacket. 1992. 1st Edition. First Printing. Hard Cover. 0198161859 . Publisher's full black cloth gilt lettering on spines and covers. Volume One: Text Volume Two:Edition. This important work proposes a reinterpretation of two major repertories of twelfth-century polyphony: that associated with the long-destroyed abbey of Saint Martial de Limoges and the manuscript preserved in the Cathedral Archive of Santiago de Compostela. Together these comprise the most important collection of polyphonic music before the School of Notre Dame. The absence of contemporary rules for harmony rhythm and notation in this music has led to disagreement among modern scholars as to how this music should be transcribed. Professor Karp's commentary and edition represent a new approach to matters of syllable-change mensuration and notation which are likely to be controversial but which are scrupulously and convincingly defended. The transcriptions themselves have been welcomed by performing musicians to whom an important repertory has been made readily available. Professor Karp was Professor of Music History at Northwestern University in Evanston Illinois. Both volumes are in perfect pristine condition unmarked unread tight square and clean; still in the original unopened publisher's cardboard box. A large heavy set six pounds - additional shipping charges may apply. AS NEW. 4to 11" - 13" tall. xii ii 230; xii 236 pp . University of California Press hardcover
