Description:

A collection of articles explaining two different aspects of medieval music. The fundamental problems relating to the history of ancient and medieval theory of music are addressed, and the "Troping Hypothesis", a musicological exercise in deconstruction is explored.

Synopsis:

This volume first addresses crucial problems in the history of ancient and medieval theory of music, searching for the appropriate technical concepts and tonal structure with which to understand medieval music. The second section presents the documentary foundation for Professor Crocker's work on the medieval sequence, and includes 'The Troping Hypothesis', one of the first and most famous musicological exercises in deconstruction.
