Originally published in 1966, the Reeseschrift remains one of the most significant collections of musicological writings ever assembled.

The Cambridge Companion to the Harpsichord
Written by fourteen leading experts in the field, this Companion covers almost every aspect of the harpsichord - the history of the instrument, tuning systems, the role of the harpsichord in ensemble, its use in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, and includes separate chapters devoted to Domenico Scarlatti, J. S. Bach and Handel. Chapters featuring almost every national style are written by authors with close connections to the countries about which they are writing, including England, The Netherlands, Germany, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, France, Italy, Portugal and Spain, as well as the less extensive harpsichord traditions of Russia, the Nordic and Baltic countries, and colonial Spanish and Portuguese America. With musical examples, illustrations, a timeline of the harpsichord, and an appendix of composers, reliable editions and original sources, this book is for all who love the harpsichord, or want to learn more about it.
Singing and the Imagination of Devotion
"Using early Anglican and Puritan sources, Singing and the Imagination of Devotion poses questions about the meaning and significance of singing during a seminal period in English culture. While early modern England witnessed many political, cultural and artistic upheavals, it also produced a substantive body of devotional music, ranging in complexity from simple psalm tunes to sophisticated art songs. Controversialists wrangled over the appropriate role of singing in worship at the same time that writers of 'affectionate divinity' gloried in the beauty of Christ and traced the workings of the inner landscape. Period accounts indicate that singing played a vital role in this devotional life, and was specifically cultivated as a means to impress the soul with Christian truths and lead believers to a state of 'heavenly mindedness'. Singing became viewed as a spiritual balm, kindler of religious passion, and the ultimate embodiment of an innocent and wholesome sensuality. In examining a body of devotional literature which has been neglected by music historians, Brown discerns an aesthetic of singing and vocal expression which has ramifications today."--BOOK JACKET.
Le biblioteche dell'Alta formazione musicale
Il volume raccoglie la documentazione del progetto "Le biblioteche musicali italiane: stato dell'arte e prospettive (2017-2020)", curato da un gruppo di ricerca del Dipartimento di scienze del patrimonio culturale (DISPAC) dell'Università degli studi di Salerno in collaborazione con IAML Italia, gruppo nazionale dell'International Association of Music Libraries, Archives and Documentation Centres (IAML). La ricerca ha riguardato le biblioteche dei conservatori e degli istituti superiori di studi musicali e ha inteso monitorarne presenza, funzione e caratteristiche mediante la raccolta di dati statistici, l'elaborazione di indicatori, la somministrazione di questionari e interviste. In particolare, ci si è proposti di fare il punto su patrimonio e offerta documentaria, servizi e livello di erogazione, espressioni culturali, rapporto con gli utenti, impatto (sia sulla comunità di studio e di ricerca sia sui cittadini).
