Music from the Earliest Notations to the Sixteenth Century

2 The informal distinction proposed here between music and Musica follows Hendrik van der Werf’s longstanding and useful habit. See, for
example, “The Raison d’être of Medieval Music Manuscripts,” Appendix to his The Oldest Extant Part Music and the Origin of
Western Polyphony (Rochester: H. van der Werf, 1993), pp. 181–209.
