Antoine Busnoys: Method, Meaning, and Context in Late Medieval Music brings together twenty original essays by scholars on the life, works, and cultural context of Antoine Busnoys (d. 1492), musician to Charles the Bold, duke of Burgundy. These discussions of the musical culture of Busnoys and his contemporaries reaffirm that the study of early music continues to afford an array of new perspectives and approaches broadly applicable to music of all periods.
