McGee Klappentext Praise for the cloth edition: "Commendable in its scholarship . . . should prove of interest to linguists, medievalists, and Renaissance academicians, as well as to fastidious performers of early music." --Choice "Singing Early Music is a pioneering work of surpassing quality that cannot be too highly recommended." --Journal of Singing "Addresses the needs of the performer directly, giving historical pronunciations for a range of languages [and] sample texts. . . . The CD that comes with the book will prove invaluable. . . . David Klausner's recording is admirably consistent and convincing across the wide range of languages." --Early Music Zusammenfassung An invaluable resource on the pronunciation of historic European languages for singers, scholars, actors, and readers of early music and literature With CD Inhaltsverzeichnis Preface Acknowledgments How to Use This Guide Common Abbreviations 1.
