Caution: I increasingly find this to be unreliable. While it is incredibly useful as a series of outlines of important trends, people, and specifics of style, it seems that one time in four I find a disastrous error of name or date.

Wasn't expecting to like it, but this is a wonderful, fascinating, well-written book, and though she often over-interprets the composer's intentions she has some very subtle psychological and sociological insights.

• Walter H. Kemp, Burgundian Court Song in the Time of Binchois: The Anonymous Chansons of El Escorial, MS V.III.24. Oxford, Clarendon Press. 1990.

Completely a book for a specialist. The reader is expected to be conversant with Latin and medieval French. The writer considerately translates the handful of quotations in Occitan.

• Glenn Watkins, Gesualdo: The Man and His Music. Oxford, Clarendon Press. 1991. ISBN 0-19-816196-2

Preface by Igor Stravinsky, and it's hilarious, a comic masterpiece. The book is itself delightful, containing all the lurid details one might want about this great composer and murderer. Only Heseltine's book has more gratuitous details (and the copies in most music libraries are well-thumbed for the first quarter of each book, the biographical portions, as might be expected).

Unofficial sources

You can't get a doctorate without attending hundreds of lectures, recitals, readings, book reviews, dreadfully dull and scintillatingly exciting presentations on all manner of arcana, exotica, microscopic trivia, protozoic expectorata and excrementa, much of which you remember with a terrifying immediacy, and some of which you will never, ever, recall again, itself proof perhaps of the existence of a merciful Divine. Generally you can put together a coherent article, sans dates and maybe a few names, without once opening a book, if you are writing in a field somewhere close to the one you studied: but a basic consideration of the laws of Mankind, Common Sense and Wikipedia compels such sore-headed and wilfully lazy academics to attempt to list their sources. So I'll try. A lot of stuff I just remember. And usually at the very least I look it up in Grove as I write.
