Like the previous facsimile volume (EC57) it has a large page format maximising the number of manuscripts that can be reproduced at full size; colour reproduction conveys the syntax of late-medieval notation, particularly the use of red notation; page-turns follow the recto-verso arrangement of the original manuscripts as far as possible; extensive image editing restores a degree of legibility to much-degraded manuscripts. The manuscripts reproduced here include the famous Coventry Caput Mass, vestiges of a royal choirbook virtually reassembled by Bent and a systematic investigation by Wathey of the Beverley fragments. Although fragmentary, these fifteenth-century sources, containing music by Dunstaple, Power, Plummer and their contemporaries, attest to the vitality of the English polyphonic tradition as it neared its pre-Reformation zenith.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Stainer \u0026 Bell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45310466687055,"sku":"EC62","price":371.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/1828\/files\/32cc784ae23fbdb56a2512076d81fcb0.jpg?v=1779820712","url":"https:\/\/www.ficksmusic.com\/products\/fragments-of-english-polyphonic-music-c13901475-stainer","provider":"Ficks Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
