Anthology of Renaissance Music (Norton Introduction to Music History)

Rating:
Summary: Another step forward
Review: Allan Atlas' anthology succeeds in providing a broad collection of valuable Renaissance works in one easily accessible volume. Combined with Renaissance Music, also by Atlas, it represents a firm stepping stone in the The Norton Introduction to Music History series. There is currently no recorded anthology to complement this package, but Norton does provide a dated discography for 73 of the 102 printed works. Several are only on LP.
Credited English translations of texts in appendix are valuale. Table of contents lists works in order of appearance. No alphabetical index is included. No dates are provided for works or composers. No reference to original manuscript sources (e.g. Chigi Codex or Chigi Q VIII 188).

Summary: A translation of the first review:
Review: For those who don't read Italian, the preceding review says,

A new work of editorship for Renaissance music
A new, extremely rich anthology of masterworks (almost 500 pages of music). An indispensible text on the shelf of choir directors, students of ancient music, lovers of polyphony!

(I'll post my own review when my copy comes. However, this looks like an excellent selection of stuff--kudos to Amazon for posting the table of contents.)
