Publicación: “The Oxford Handbook of Music and Medievalism”

Se ha publicado recientemente The Oxford Handbook of Music and Medievalism (Oxford University Press) editado por Stephen C. Meyer y Kirsten Yri. Este volumen ofrece una panorámica (33 capítulos) de las diversas formas en que el medievalismo transforma poderosamente muchas tradiciones musicales en los últimos dos siglos. Un nutrido elenco de especialistas internacionales exploran diversos rangos de temas que van desde la representación de la Edad Media en la ópera del siglo hasta la influencia en la música de videojuegos. Todo esto conectando formas musicales dispares a través de los límites típicos de la musicología en toda la cronología y geografía.
