Craig Monson, "Byrd, the Catholics, and the Motet: The Hearing Reopened." Whether in response to the relatively recent impulses of the so-called "new musicology" or simply in an effort to seek a new direction for research, many musicologists are turning to multidisciplinary approaches and innovative research methods in their studies of music from the past. Even so, this trend has not completely eclipsed the more traditional analytical studies of the history of music, as can be seen in what appears to be an appropriate balance of "newer" and more "old-fashioned" research styles in the volume of essays entitled Hearing the Motet. This book presents sixteen papers, the majority of which were delivered at the February 1994 conference of the same name held at Washington University in St. Louis. Motets of both the Middle Ages and the Renaissance from late-twelfth-century Paris to beyond the Counter-Reformation are discussed using methodological approaches as varied as the works themselves. The publisher claims on the jacket that "[i]n Hearing the Motet, top scholars in the field provide the fullest picture yet of the motet's 'music-poetic' nature, investigating the virtuosic interplay of music and text that distinguished some of the genre' s finest work and reading individual motets and motet repertories in ways that illuminate their historical and cultural backgrounds." Indeed, this grand assertion is accurate in its emphasis on how the motet texts are employed in many of the essays to inform analyses of the accompanying music. With reference to the "top scholars" it must be noted that, although this volume is not an exhaustive representation of all current motet research, the impressive list of contributors to Hearing the Motet appears almost like a "who's who" of motet researchers. In the lengthy introduction (nine pages), editor Dolores Pesce remarks briefly on the nature of the conference Hearing the Motet from where this volume grew, and provides details of style and content for each paper. (Pesce's introduction could conceivably appear as a stand-alone positive and sympathetic book review.) The main focus of both the conference and this book is emphasized by Pesce early in her opening remarks, "The title Hearing the Motet reflects an increasing concern among scholars and performers with bringing to light the diverse ways in which these works may have been heard in their own time" (p. …
