non-existent, and where publication is the plaything of idealists. Proceeding under such limitations as at
present exist, the editors of a work of this kind must, to the best of their ability, attempt to realize two objectives: first, the compilation of a body of music which, by itself and without regard to any practical usefulness, represents a comprehensive survey of the music of any given period; and second, the selection, where
choice is possible, of material which will prove profitable to the most varied types of musical interest. The
editors have striven to attain these two objectives, and again with due regard for inescapable limitations

Reference will be found to phonograph records of a number of the selections. In order to supply these the
editors had recourse to the usual sources of information; but being aware of the rapidly changing catalogues of

phonograph companies, they make no pretense to thoroughness in this department of the work.
Furthermore, they have not even heard a measurable proportion of the records cited and they therefore wish
to disclaim any responsibility for the value of this feature. If the records are found to be useful, that will

and after that, that the music shall be available for as many grades of reading ability as possible.
But reduction unquestionably raises a difficulty; for it sometimes yields a bewildering array of stems which
are necessary for keeping clear the progress of several voices written on the same staff. Only where the persistent
use of the correct stemming would have produced a quite unreadable result, notably in certain passages of
No. 157, have the editors been willing to compromise with necessity. The editors feel that, under almost any
conditions, difficulties due to stemming are not comparable with those imposed in the reading of a full score.
Furthermore, to have issued the selected material in open score would have confined a comparatively small

All compromises with the exception of the last-mentioned have been of an entirely practical nature; that

is,

they represent an effort to avoid visual complication and thus facilitate the reading of the score. In attempting
to achieve this end, however, the editors have occasionally found themselves unable to employ an entirely

method of notation. Where three voices occupy a single staff, for instance, the voices absent from any
one measure will be accounted for by separate rests; where all the voices are silent, it has been thought
that one rest would prove an adequate substitute for three.
As the work progressed the editors have become convinced that adherence to the principles upon which the
project was founded would necessitate the distribution of the material through two volumes rather than one,

A grant from the William F. Milton Fund of Harvard University has aided the editors substantially in
assembling the material; and for this they are deeply grateful. Another financial contribution, no less gratefully received, has been made by the Carl Schurz Memorial Foundation, Philadelphia. Hearty recognition is
offered for the generous assistance of those who have contributed much of value to this volume. Among
them are several to whom we are indebted for music which is the fruit of their own research. Following is

fame rests mainly on his mastery of the "intricacies of
mensural notation." For this mastery the present example
serves as an illustration. It is a mensuration canon (see No.

serves for two (or more) voice-parts, when the line is read
in different mensurations. In the present case the melody of
"L'Homme arme" is sung simultaneously in triple time

even greater master than is generally assumed today. In his
"Victimae paschali laudes" the plainsong melody of this
celebrated sequence (cf. No. i6b) is used as a cantus firmus,
first in the Sextus which sings the initial phrase only, then
in the Quintus which has it entire. Our example shows only
the Prima pars of the motet. ^Source: A. Willaert, Musica

of motet technique, the principle of points of imitation, is
used in this composition with considerably greater freedom

the phrases "audita est" and "et ululatus" show little, if
any, trace of this method. As regards the harmonic point of
view, the Neapolitan sixth in measure 5 of system 4 may be

an up beat, and if the subsequent first half of the theme is

that occur in the music of certain members of the Roman
group (see No. 142). The melodic freedom, harmonic richness, and emotional power that are to be found in Nanini's
work are also a feature of Victoria's writing. But the latter
seems occasionally to embody a quality which transcends
personal feeling and approaches the dramatic. The sixteenthcentury ideal of vocality was best expressed in the constantly
moving melodic line; and No. 149 will be found, in the
main, to conform to that ideal. Where, however, there occurs
a single word like "dolor," or even a whole passage such as
