and Charles Rosen, The Romantic Generation (Cambridge, Mass.: Harvard University Press, 1995), are two contrasted examples that come to mind - as well as the CDs that now regularly accompany textbooks. The promulgation of CD-ROM formats and hypermedia journals like Music Theory On-line and Journal of the Society of Seventeenth-Century Music may transform the way we frame our published discourse about music in the not-too-distant future

The summary discussion of commonplace books that follows is deeply indebted to Ann Moss, Printed Commonplace-Books and the Structuring of Renaissance Thought (Oxford and New York: Clarendon Press, 1996). I discuss the nature of exemplarity in Renaissance writing generally and the construction of musical exempla extensively in my forthcoming monograph. I am grateful to Kate van Orden for a helpful comment after an earlier presentation of part of this work (AMS, Baltimore, Nov. 1996) that led me to consider the nature of commonplace books and their role in relation to musical thought in connection with some of the manuscript notebooks I was describing. Linda Austern is engaged in a study that considers the style of argument about music in commonplace books and miscellanies in early modern England. She offered several helpful comments and references in discussions following the initial presentation of this paper

Thus I would make a greater distinction between miscellanies and commonplace books than Owens does when she says: "Composers also used bound manuscripts of different sizes. Some of them were small notebooks that functioned like commonplace books: a kind of workbook for jotting down ideas and working out compositions as well as for copying music."

Defending the Dodecachordon: Ideological Currents in Glarean's Modal Theory
-
I do not intend to suggest thereby a direct relationship with De copia, although given his relationship with Erasmus, it is hard to imagine that Glarean was unfamiliar with it. Rather I am taking De copia as a well-known representative of a pervasive humanist pedagogy, a pedagogy particularly reflected in the teaching and writing of northern humanists. Sarah Fuller, "Defending the Dodecachordon: Ideological Currents in Glarean's Modal Theory," Journal of the American Musicological Society 49 (1996): 191-224, highlights the many places within the treatise in which Glarean makes reference to Erasmus

As Powers succinctly describes the treatise: "Glarean's Dodecachordon is the product of an extraordinary synthesis of medieval tradition, both practical and theoretical, with Renaissance classicizing humanism, original system building and musical analysis" ("Mode," The New Grove Dictionary of Music [London and New York: Macmillan, 1980] 12:407)

See Fuller, "Defending the Dodecachordon," 217, for a listing of the most prominent studies of Glarean's humanism. Fuller has profoundly deepened our understanding of the significance of Glarean's humanist perspective by highlighting three ideological strands implicit in Powers's description: a rational, essentialist strand, a religious strand, and a humanist strand

The sole exception is Mouton's eight-voice Nesciens mater, canonically derived from four voices, at the very end of the Dodecachordon, for which Glarean apologizes. Five-voice works like Josquin's Miserere and Stabat mater are cited but not reproduced. Wiering, "The Language of the Modes," 186, comments on these examples

Wagonheim (Newark: University of Delaware Press, 1986), 222. Boorman was addressing a nonmusicological audience, and he may have deliberately simplified his claim. While I would agree that the primary use for such sources was indeed performance, I would like to consider the possibility that format was not as formidable for reading and study as Boorman suggests
