Anthology for Music in the Renaissance by Richard Freedman

Anthology for Music in the Renaissance by Richard Freedman

Anthology for Music in the Renaissance, part of the Western Music in Context series, is the ideal companion to Music in the Renaissance. Twenty-seven carefully chosen works--including an isorhythmic motet by Ciconia, an English carol, a Janequin chanson, and lute composition by Ortiz--offer representative examples of the genres and composers of the period. Commentaries following each score present a careful analysis of the music, and online links to purchase and download recordings make listening easier than ever.
