Music and Performance in the Later Middle Ages seeks to
understand the music of the later Middle Ages in a fuller perspective,
moving beyond the traditional focus on the creative work of composers in
isolation to consider the participation of performers, listeners, and
scribes in music-making. By treating the musical manuscripts of the
Chantilly Codex and the Oxford manuscript, Canonici misc. 213 not just
as scores, but as artifacts of material culture, Elizabeth Randell Upton
illustrates how it is possible to recover more evidence about the
composition, performance, and consumption of music than has previously
been realized.
