Those Terrible Middle Ages[Debunking the Myths] [THOSE TERRIBLE MIDDLE AGES] [Paperback] Quotes

“We should alco recall the music with which all education begins. We have seen how our civilization, from the musical point of view, still remains indebted to the "Dark Ages' that invented the scale! [......] Up until the thirteenth century, there was no separation between musical language and poetic language: there was no poetry without melody; the poet was at the same time a musician. It is important to remember that at that time, if not everyone learned to read, everyone did learn to sing.”
