Music was an important element of cultural life throughout the Middle Ages. Most of our knowledge of medieval music comes from surviving manuscripts, almost all of them connected with the Church. In this book, the history of music writing is covered, and entertaining pictures of musicians in manuscripts show how music was performed.
