The tropes, together with the sequences, represent the main creative activity of European musicians in the 9th, 10th, and 11th centuries. This volume provides an introduction to the study of tropes in the form of an extensive anthology of major studies and a comprehensive bibliography, and constitutes a classic reference resource for the study of one of the most important musico-liturgical genres of the central middle ages.
