Abstract
- Reasons for the relative neglect of English medieval music are suggested, including the late availability of editions, and the extensive dependence on fragmentary sources. Recent work is noted, and areas for future research identified, including in prosopography, music theory and analysis, especially with a view to identifying how English musical grammars and genres differ from those of continental Europe. As the place of historical musicology in university studies is being squeezed by newer concerns, a plea is made to rectify the poor-relation status of English medieval music, and for the cultivation of skills needed to study it.
