The Renaissance Reform of Medieval Music Theory: Guido of Arezzo between Myth and History
Mengozzi, Stefano (Dr, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor)
Mengozzi demonstrates how scholasticism and humanism played a decisive role in shaping the history of hexachordal solmization, a sight-singing method introduced by the 11th-century monk Guido of Arezzo. The book will be of interest to early-modern specialists interested in exploring medieval and Renaissance musical thought in its intellectual context.
