'Plague and Music in the Renaissance does a fine job of presenting the pressures that plague put upon medical, theological, and civic understanding. It beautifully outlines the manner in which Saint Sebastian became identified with the plague.' Chadwick Jenkins, Notes '... the book is a very judicious and well-structured study on this otherwise underresearched topic of music in the medical regimens against plague, and covers a wide span of Renaissance music from the fifteenth to the seventeenth centuries.' Johann F. W. Hasler, Renaissance Quarterly
