Product Description
In Music in the Mirror, thirteen distinguished scholars explore the concept of music, music theory, and music literature as mirror images of one another - whether real or distorted. Encompassing the history of music and music theory and literature from the Middle Ages to the present, these essays in their reconsideration of the relationships among music, theory, and literature offer new approaches and articulate compelling visions for future research.

Bower (University of Notre Dame), Margaret Bent (Oxford University), Anthony Newcomb (University of California, Berkeley), Tim Carter (University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill), John Walter Hill (University of Illinois-Urbana-Champagne), Dan Harran (Hebrew University), Wye J.
