Abstract
Though not readily apparent from the book blurb on the back cover and front page, the dedication page of Benjamin Brand and David J. Rothenberg’s edited collection of essays signals this volume’s raison d’être. Dedicated to Craig Wright, Henry L. and Lucy G. Moses Professor Emeritus of Music at Yale University, the fifteen chapters written by seven of Wright’s former students and nine friends and colleagues embrace the interdisciplinary reach and focus of his musicological approach. Indeed, the editors explicitly organize the book’s chapters into three sections that explore ‘areas of inquiry in which Wright’s research has proved particularly influential’ (p. 3), that is: (1) Chant, Liturgy, and Ritual; (2) Archival and Source Studies; and (3) Symbolism. Within each section, a broadly chronological order is followed, with discussions of the cultural contexts of musical practice that range from ninth-century Reims to twentieth-century Los Angeles.
