Reviews
'In Renaissance Polyphony Fabrice Fitch has produced a refreshingly different book from the usual survey. With a composer's eye he offers a new approach to understanding the world of Renaissance music: its composers and performers, its sources, and its genres, but above all lucid descriptions of how the music is put together. It will appeal to many kinds of readers.' Bonnie J. Blackburn, Wolfson College, Oxford 'By combining solid musicology with an engaging sense of history as detective process, this book earns its place in a crowded field.' N. L. Gilbert, Choice 'This book is sure to become a classic text in Renaissance music pedagogy.' Melinda Latour, Revue de musicologie

Melinda Latour, Revue de musicologie 'Renaissance Polyphony is a true joy and could also be profitably read by those with a prior knowledge of the music discussed who wish to gain a clearer overview of its principal stylistic features … this is a book I wish I had read as a student; I am glad to have had the chance to read it now'.
