Music Book reviews and recommendations

"This is my favorite book .I must have check this book out at the library more times then I count wish I could get now but I don't have enough money for it now."

"While the content is fairly specialized for those who are students or researchers of popular music of Renaissance/Baroque Spanish roots, this book is a wonderful resource for those who are interested in this topic. Laird thoroughly goes through the development of the villancico from its beginning literary forms through the musico-poetic genre of villancico. More information about the villancico's flourishing in Latin America would have been a nice addition to the book's content, but it stands out as one of the top sources of information about this exciting and fresh topic of study."
