Neerpelt, 2007, 24 x 29 cm. From 19 Nov. 2005 to 18 Feb. 2006 four
exhibitions, entitled “Cantus21. Patrimoine musical du Nord de la
France”, were organized in Cambrai (Maison
Falleur/Médiathèque municipale), Douai (Bibl. municipale
and Musée de la Chartreuse) and Bailleul (Musée
Benoît-De-Puydt). This exceptionally beautiful and illustrated
publication is the scholarly outcome of this event containing detailed
descriptions of, and commentaries on more than 150 manuscripts, prints,
treatises and archival documents. 2 sections are dedicated mainly to
plainchant sources and liturgical manuscripts, one elaborates on
sources of polyphony and music theory from the North of France and a
final section is dedicated to Charles Edmond Henri de Coussemaker
(1805-1876), who was a pioneer in listing and studying music sources
from the North of France. A lot of attention is paid to his vast
private collection (more than 1600 books, prints and mss) and to the
large number of pieces which found their way into the collections of
the Brussels Royal Library and the Library of the Brussels Royal
Conservatory. Wrappers. $59
