In the great tradition of the German Festschrift, this book brings together articles by Professor Bernstein's colleagues, friends, and students to honor him on his 70th birthday. Ranging in subject from the trouvère song through esoteric aspects of Renaissance studies and authenticity in 18th-century musical sources to a lively and irreverent attack on performance practices today, the twenty essays by many of America's most distinguished scholars reflect the breadth and variety of Martin Bernstein's far-reaching interests and demonstrates the vitality and relevance that characterize that which is best in musicology today.

This catalogue of musical instruments made by 120-odd makers of the 16th through the 19th centuries contains information on many heretofore unknown or unreported examples.Phillip T. Young, member of the Board of Governors of the American Musical Instrument Society and editor of The Look of Music, the Vancouver Centennial Musical Instrument Collection Catalogue, has personally inspected more than three-quarters of these instruments in major museums as well as in private collections so s mall that they do not appear in even the most recent directories. The combination of his two short inventories (The Galpin Society Journal, 1967, 1978), intensified research, reader contributions, and the incorporation of other less-complete listings has enabled Prof. Young to compile a research tool that is unequaled in thoroughness and the majority of which has not been previously available. Also included are a number of photographs of instruments of special interest, making this a beautiful as well as valuable volume.

In this fascinating essay Iannis Xenakis succeeds in unraveling the intricate web between the arts and sciences, thereby demonstrating their interdependency as in the components of an alloy. A complete list of works and bibliography are included. In this translation Xenakis explains not only his musical and theoretical writings - but also the role of mathematics as a philosophical catalyst in both his musical and architectural works. He discusses in detail his unique use of computers as a graphic tool in the composition of some of his scores. Unexpected aspects of his character are gracefully revealed in these highly readable exposés.Xenakis is responding to a panel of noted French masters from the various disciplines in w which he has worked and cleverly manages to answer specific questions in one field while simultaneously addressing perhaps less-initiated exponents from other, seemingly unrelated areas. He succeeds in unraveling the intricate web between the arts and sciences, thereby demonstrating their inter-dependency as in the components of alloys.
