early music

A useful book for my purposes as I am studying for an M.A. and I have been able to get an in depth knowledge for my subject. Well written and researched

Informative, fun, and interesting!

This guy, Harry Haskell, sure knows his music history. I suppose this book is too esoteric for some, but if you like history and music as I do, then you'll love this book. I highly recommend it.
