The first of six volumes of the series Western Music in Context, this in-depth discussion of the development of early Western Music is arranged chronologically, from its pre-written origins in the Carolingian Empire and specific liturgical approaches, through its developments and increase in complexity in the 11th-12th centuries, with the organum, the effect of pilgrimage and the enormous impact of the Norman conquest and the origins of secular music; to the intersection of music and learning during the 13th century, and the academic study of music; to, finally the major changes in style, and the advent of the patron/musician system of the fourteenth century, and the influence of music on the court life of the time. Along the way, the author describes a wonderfully varied range of repertoire, and we meet many fascinating characters without whom the music today would be unrecognizable: from Abelard and Heloise to Frauenlob and Hildegard. Theory is discussed throughout, with a special emphasis on it in the latter chapters, congruent with its historical development. An introductory chapter sets the tone of the whole series by an quick overview of the origin of the Middle Ages itself, and providing a context for major musical works in religious, political and philosophical background of the time.

Margot Fassler's Music in the Medieval West imaginatively reconstructs the repertoire of the Middle Ages by drawing on a wide range of sources. In addition to highlighting the ceremonial and dramatic functions of medieval music (both sacred and secular), she pays special attention to the exchange of musical ideas, the development of musical notation and other methods of transmission, and the role of women in musical culture.Western Music in Context: A Norton History comprises six volumes of moderate length, each written in an engaging style by a recognized expert. Authoritative and current, the series examines music in the broadest sense—as sounds notated, performed, and heard—focusing not only on composers and works, but also on broader social and intellectual currents.

Medieval music in its cultural, social, and intellectual contexts.
