註釋"Aidulfus, Crimleicus, Andreas, Wiborada. The men and women who sang the sacred music of the West, from late antiquity to the central Middle Ages, have never had a history of their own - many of them remain unremembered. This major study by a noted scholar and performer provides such a history for the first time." "Using epitaphs, images from the catacombs, chronicles, lives of saints and a great wealth of other sources, written and pictorial, it traces the rise of the Western Christian ministry of music from its fragmentary beginnings in the house-churches, through to the consolidation of Christianity - in one of various contemporary forms - as the official religion of the Roman Empire. The narrative then passes on to the singers of the new barbarian kingdoms, to the Carolingian achievement - which owed so much to singers - and on to the tumult of the eleventh-century Church which impelled, first as an aid to singers, the defining technology of the Western musical tradition: staff notation." --Book Jacket.
