More about the book
The book examines the transformative period between 800 and 900 in European music, focusing on the introduction of music scripts that revolutionized musical practice. It highlights how Carolingian scribes enhanced visibility for readers and singers through written instructions, shifting from reliance on unwritten knowledge to more structured codification of chant. Rankin traces this evolution from early books to those that captured the nuances of ecclesiastical chant delivery, illustrating significant changes in the material culture of music during this pivotal time.
