Beskrivning
Regarded as one of the most important English music treatises in the seventeenth century, Thomas Campion's A New Way of Making Fowre Parts in Counterpoint reveals progressive ideas about the latent theory of inversions, the fundamental bass, cadences and tonality, and the major-minor octave scale. In this first accurate modern edition of Campion's treatise, Christopher Wilson provides a fully annotated text and a substantial introduction which highlights the historical significance of 'A New Way...' both in its close relationship with Coprario's 'Rules how to Compose' (which is included as an appendix together with commentary and notes) and its unusual debt to German rather than Italian music theory. Wilson presents a persuasive case for viewing the treatise as essentially a very early modern harmony tutor.and its unusual debt to German rather than Italian music theory.

Recensioner i media

'This is a valuable publication; it is good to have the content of the two treatises available in such an accessible form, while the interpretative and background material not only illuminates the treatises, but also places their content in a fairly wide historical context, particularly in relation to 16th- and 17th-century musical theory.' The Consort 'Wilson's volume is without doubt a most welcome transcription of two treatises whose importance has yet to be completely realized... Wilson's volume will surely prompt a reconsideration of the place of England, abstract instrumental music, and other genres in our interpretation of the early Baroque.' Music and Letters
