Uniquely among histories of mediaeval music, this book is specifically devoted to the vast repertory of monophonic music. Too often treated as a preamble to polyphony, this music forms the basis of Europe's musical tradition. Giulio Cattin outlines the birth and evolution of Christian chant in the early centuries of the Church.
