A fascinating examination of the notation of polyphonic works, showing how seemingly recondite formulas serve musical purposes. -- Alex Ross With the invention of the ars nova notational system in the early fourteenth century, composers could explore a vast array of previously unavailable rhythmic possibilities. Zazulia's groundbreaking book gives the first detailed account of how this played out in musical practice for the next two hundred years, coming up with new ideas and observations on virtually every page. A major achievement in the history of early music! -- Anna Maria Busse Berger, Distinguished Professor of Music, University of California DS Davis A masterful exploration of how late-medieval music notation works and why it matters. Bridging periods too often kept apart and illuminating repertoire both famous and little-known, Zazulia takes us inside a musical world in which writing could carry as much aesthetic weight as sound. Don't miss this terrific book. -- Jesse Rodin, Associate Professor of Music, Stanford University; Director, Cut Circle; Director, Josquin Research Project
