A Rather technical work but there are some good insights. One needs to have a greater basic understanding of musicology and other disciplines but I did learn some things

I enjoyed the book, though occasionally repetitive, it dealt well with a subject intended to be absorbed by means other than reading. I read this in conjunction with a Latin Mass and Gregorian Chant choir at Philadelphia's Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul. I have had a nice several weeks.
