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.
