Excerpt from The Oxford History of Music, Vol. 2: The Polyphonic Period; Part II, Method of Musical Art, 1300-1600 When preparing the first volume of this work I was permitted by the kindness of the keeper of the Laurentian Library at Florence to have a considerable number of pages of the Antiphmw/m'um M ediceum photographed, and was thereby enabled not only, to study its methods at leisure, but also to exhibit some interesting examples in facsimile. I had hoped to obtain similar material for the present volume, and to give illustrations of another very remarkable work in the same Library, commonly known as the Squarcialupi ms., containing compositions by Landini and his school, but permission to make photographs was in this case, I regret to say, not accorded. For my examples from this work, therefore, and from some others in Florence, I am indebted to the courtesy of a student of the ms., Mr. J. Wolf, and of Messrs. Breitkopf and Haertel, who published a number of that gentleman's transcriptions in the quarterly Journal of the I nternationale Musikgesellschqfl. The examples of the work of Machault I owe to the kindness of the authorities of the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, who allowed all necessary photographs to be made.

Excerpt from The Oxford History of Music, Vol. 1: The Polyphonic Period; Part I; Method of Musical Art, 330-1330 IN considering the development Of the resources of pure sound, regarded as a material for artistic treatment, the phenomena may be seen as arranging themselves in three main divisions or periods, each representing a totally distinct phase Of artistic activity in relation to the material and a different view of its capabilities. The first period represents that phase in which the beauty to be Obtained from the material is perceived only as consisting in certain arrangements Of consecutive simple sounds; the aim Of the artist is Single, and its outcome is the coherent individual utterance, or Melody. This was the music of the Old Greeks and is still the music of all eastern people. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
