Four works in 9 volumes totalling over 4,600 pages.
De cantu covers sacred music from its beginnings to the 18th century and remains one of the most valuable source-books for the study of music history, particularly of medieval sacred music.
The monographs on German liturgical music were written between the Cantu and the Scriptores and still serve modern readers as a rich source of documentation.
The Scriptores contains the texts of more than 40 medieval music theorists, among them: Cassiodorus, Isidorus, Hucbald, Odo, Guido, the Abbes of Reichenau, Scholasticus, Salomo, et al. Since its first publication, this work has remained the cornerstone to the study of the music theory of the middle ages.
