The Early Medieval Sequence
註釋The Early Medieval Sequence offers a comprehensive exploration of medieval sequences, an art form blending music and Latin verse, from the early ninth century to the twelfth century. Originating with the author's doctoral work, which inventoried Aquitanian prosaria, this study evolved through decades of research, culminating in this detailed analysis. Delving into a broader range of sources, including French repertories before 1100 and the medieval music theory surrounding the hexachord, the book expands the understanding of early medieval sequences through both traditional and computer-assisted analyses.

Rich with insights gained from the author's interdisciplinary work, including hands-on performances and collaborations with experts in medieval architecture and Latin literature, the study uncovers the nuances of this unique liturgical tradition. For scholars of early music, medieval Latin, and cultural history, this work provides valuable transcriptions, comparisons, and interpretive insights into a genre that shaped the musical and poetic landscape of the Middle Ages.
