What does it mean to author a piece of music? What transforms the performance scripts written down by musicians into authored books? In this fascinating cultural history of Western music’s adaptation to print, Kate van Orden looks at how musical authorship first developed through the medium of printing. When music printing began in the sixteenth century, publication did not always involve the composer: printers used the names of famous composers to market books that might include little or none of their music. Publishing sacred music could be career-building for a composer, while some types of popular song proved too light to support a reputation in print, no matter how quickly they sold. Van Orden addresses the complexities that arose for music and musicians in the burgeoning cultures of print, concluding that authoring books of polyphony gained only uneven cultural traction across a century in which composers were still first and foremost performers.

Excerpt from The First Music Reader Tnn child's first year at school is a very important one, for then deep and enduring impressions are made on the mind. Music is one of the most potent of early influences; hence it is wise to teach such songs at this stage as will best contribute to the, future as well as the present enjoyment of the child. A pleasing melody is appreciated by a child quite as much as by an older person; hence it has been the aim of the author of this series to select and compose songs for the First Reader, that. Both in the melodic construction of the music and in the sentiment of the words, are best adapted to please as well as instruct children. The music in this number, where no composer's name is given, is the composi tion of the author of this series. The illustrations, it is believed, will greatly enhance the child's interest in the songs. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
