This is the final volume in the set of four collections of Michel Huglo's articles to be published in the Variorum series, and focuses on medieval music theory. The point of departure for Huglo's research was his doctoral dissertation on tonaries, published in 1971: as a consequence, he studied the manuscripts of music theory concerning plainchant, and, later, those with writings on music by authors of Late Antiquity as well as the Liber glossarum, with its many definitions of musical terms. In this volume, certain articles consider the interpretation or dissemination of texts, instruction in the art of plainchant, and musical instruction at the university. Others concern the manuscripts of St Augustine's De musica and of the writings of Calcidius, Macrobius, Helisachar, Hucbald, Gerbert of Aurillac, Abbo of Fleury, John of Afflighem, and Hieronymus de Moravia, amongst others. The volume closes with a bibliography of Michel Huglo complementing that published in 1993 and a summary list of his reviews of books on music and liturgy.

Il s'agit du dernier volume de la série de quatre recueils d'articles de Michel Huglo à paraître dans la série Variorum, et se concentre sur la théorie musicale médiévale. Le point de départ des recherches de Huglo fut sa thèse de doctorat sur les tonaires, publiée en 1971 : en conséquence, il étudia les manuscrits de solfège concernant le plain-chant, et, plus tard, ceux contenant des écrits sur la musique d'auteurs de l'Antiquité tardive ainsi que les Liber glossarum, avec ses nombreuses définitions de termes musicaux. Dans ce volume, certains articles traitent de l'interprétation ou de la diffusion de textes, de l'enseignement de l'art du plain-chant et de l'enseignement musical à l'université. D'autres concernent les manuscrits du De musica de saint Augustin et des écrits de Calcidius, Macrobius, Helisachar, Hucbald, Gerbert d'Aurillac, Abbon de Fleury, Jean d'Afflighem et Hieronymus de Moravia, entre autres. Le volume se termine par une bibliographie de Michel Huglo complétant celle publiée en 1993 et ​​une liste sommaire de ses recensions d'ouvrages sur la musique et la liturgie.

Reviews for La théorie de la musique antique et médiévale

’This supplementary material and the occasionally out-of-the-way places in which the original articles appeared would make these volumes essential to any university library that is serious about medieval music. In addition, multiple indexes (of manuscripts, place names, names of individuals, and an index of chants) allow readers to identify and access multiple references in both the original articles and the addenda.’ Plainson and Medieval Music 'Huglo published three books and over two hundred articles on the history and manuscripts of Eastern and Western plainchant, late antique and medieval music theory, and early organum. Eighty of these have been reprinted as a four-volume set in Ashgate’s Variorum Collected Studies series, a dazzling display of scholarship on almost all aspects of early medieval music.'
