Abstract Music in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries relied heavily on the practice of borrowing. In contrast to later eras, where originality or the appearance of originality was highly prized, composers during this period unselfconsciously based new yorks on preexistent material. It is difficult to understand or analyze many compositions of this time without understanding the various techniques of borrowing. Such an important compositional practice has long been the focus of scholarly attention, with the last decade seeing considerable new activity in this area. This volume brings together eight distinguished contributions discussing numerous aspects of musical borrowing, including how and why composers borrowed, what borrowing meant to them and to their listeners, and how we should approach this music and its models. Musicologists, performers, and students will find it a useful guide to this important issue in early music studies.
