Medieval Instrumental Dances (Music Scholarship and Performance) Paperback – February 10, 2014

the price for this book was exhorbitant to Canadian customers. I had to use a friend's address in the US to be able to afford buying it at a reasonable price. I wish we Canadians were not penalized in this manner. So unfair. The ring binding was falling apart and I had to replace it. Because of the need to use a US address, it took a very long time for the book to reach me.

I am currently in an exchange process with amazon to find out if a copy exists with a spiral binding. Otherwise, having the book spiral-bound will increase the playability of the music. It is, as advertised, both music scholarship and performance.

Disappointing. After hearing about this book for years, I finally managed to get a copy, but it's not as great as it's cracked up to be.

This is a great choice for anyone wishing to explore the medieval instrumental dance repertoire--a wonderful jumping off point. However the printing is small, the page turns are inconvenient, and the binding is paper back tight. In other words, it is not designed for performance, so performers will have to do their own prep work in that regard. Also, for serious performers, you should definitely balance McGee's commendable scholarship with others.

This is a very nice addition to the very hard to find medieval repertoire. All the known instrumental pieces of music are in this book. I have some reserve on some rythmic choices made by the author. Nevertheless, this is a must have book for any medieval music lover.

Great book. Well worth it

libro molto interessante in inglese: una ricca introduzione dell'autore che spiega le danze medievali e l'origine dei brani, segue a una serie di spartiti delle suddette danze.

Muy recomendable para estudiar y conocer la música instrumental de la edad media. Las partituras son un excelente complemento para su estudio.

Consigliata.
