Notes: Series editor, J. E. Smith. Side 1: Explains the early domination of Gregorian chant, and takes us from the flowering of love poetry in France, to the development of polyphonic music in the 13th century - Side 2: From the Ars Nova, of France, we turn to Landini's Italy, and the England of John Dunstable. Liberal use of musical examples helps to convey the extrovert boldness and excitement of Medieval music.
