Series: Variorum Collected Studies

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.

Ce volume des articles de Michel Huglo termine la série de quatre dans la collection Variorum. Il est centré sur la théorie musicale médiévale. Le point de départ des recherches de Michel Huglo sur la théorie musicale du Moyen Ã‚ge est formé par sa thèse sur les tonaires, éditée en 1971: en consequence il etudia les manuscrits de theorie musicale concernant le plain-chant et, plus tard, les auteurs de l'Antiquité tardive et le Liber glossarum qui contient des définitions de nombreux termes musicaux. Dans ce volume, certains articles traitent de l'interprétation ou de la dissémination des textes, des instructions sur l'art du chant, et sur l'enseignement de la musique Ã l'Université. Ils concernent les manuscrits du De musica d'Augustin, de Calcidius, Macrobe, Helisachar, Hucbald, Gerbert d'Aurillac, Abbon de Fleury, Jean d'Afflighem, Hieronymus de Moravia, et d'autres auteurs. Enfin, ce volume contient la bibliographie de

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.'
