Espie,
Wow! That brought back painful memories of study techniques and the great “Grout” book used in our undergraduate music history classes…
Burned into memory: “Leonin & Perotin, Gregorian Chant. [Pause] duplum, triplum, quadruplum too… organum is important; the test’s at two!”

I have one of Grout’s books here, borrowed it from the library. It’s so thick and packed with information.
