| Abstract | In 1976 a radio station added early music to its program, and the "war of the airwaves" began, as outraged listeners and indignant critics condemned this corruption of the sacred classical tradition. Today, what began as the avant-garde of the distant past is truly part of the musical mainstream. The revival of Medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque music in this century has been as colorful as it has been extraordinary, and this book is the first to capture the phenomenon. |
