Musical Instruments and Their
Symbolism in Western Art
Studies in Musical lconology
Emanuel Winternitz
Emanuel Winternitz, both a leading authority on the history of musical
instruments and an erudite art historian, has for many years studied the innumerable
representations of musical instruments in Western art. In this book he examines
what these pictures tell of the design and construction of instruments, of their
performance practice, and of the often subtle symbolic use to which artists put them.

The Mellon Chansonnier
Leeman L. Perkins and Howard Garey, editors
During the fifteenth century a small number of songbooks, elegantly copied and
illuminated, were produced for the princely libraries of Europe. As one of the
surviving few, the Mellon Chansonnier preserves in a beautiful form the polyphonic
song settings loved by courtly society of the early Renaissance. Volume I reproduces
each page of the manuscript in facsimile, with a transcription in modern notation
on the facing page. Volume 2 is devoted to an extensive commentary on the music,
the verse, the sources, and the edition itself. 2-vol.set $70.00
