This book is a theoretical and historical study of the first comprehensive and complete treatise on music published in English during the Elizabethan Renaissance. The thematic organisation follows that chosen by Thomas Morley which is designed to guide the reader and\/or student gradually into the subject of music. The treatise\u2019s three main sections focus on the pitch and temporal properties of tones: the solmisation system and the principles of mensural notation; the knowledge and skills required to devise new melodies based on a given choral part; and, finally, the ability to compose entirely new music. Assoc. Prof. Yavor Genov\u2019s book examines the teachings in the treatise from a comparative perspective, breaking them down into numerous sub-themes, whilst drawing parallels with significant musical authors before and around Morley\u2019s own time. In this way, it paints a broad, complex and dynamic picture of musical thought not only in England but also in Europe as a whole during the transitional period between the end of the Renaissance and the as yet unarrived new era.<\/em><\/p>\n

The event was organised jointly under a cooperation agreement between the Institute of Art Studies, BAS and the \u201cSofia Music Weeks\u201d festival.<\/p>\n
