This is the first book about melismas, or long melodies sung to a single vowel. Using the evidence of medieval creative minds, Thomas Forrest Kelly uncovers the melisma as a phenomenon, how it works, how melismas appear when they are written in chant, and how they function as part of a text and as part of a song.
I have a question about the book:
‘Melisma - Kelly, Thomas Forrest (Morton B. Knafel Professor of Music’.
