Recenzje

In this monumental study of the late medieval motet, Margaret Bent has brought together studies of a range of individual motets, English, French, and Italian, seeking through close reading to tease out the range of strategies employed to serve the uniqueness of these technically advanced, prestigious, compositions. These 32 essays—all now updated or offered for the first time—rest on a lifetime's study of compositional craft. Their richness cannot be overestimated.
