Publisher's Synopsis
Over the past 45 years, Keith Polk has been one of the major scholars in the history of musical instruments and their repertories during the period 1300-1600. His publications have been extremely helpful in elucidating the development of the instruments, the repertory they performed, and the role played by instruments and instrumentalists in late medieval and Renaissance society. This collection of twelve essays on medieval and Renaissance music performance topics adds to the areas in which Keith Polk has made significant contributions, namely instruments, ensembles, and repertory.
