The Music of the Sumerians and Their Immediate Successors: The Babylonians and Assyrians, Described and Illustrated from Original Sources

'œThe main value of [Galpin's] contribution is in his power to sort and sift evidence and to apply what may be called a commonsense musical point of view to the theories which have been advanced. While the book is necessarily full of technical detail, it is made intelligible to the ordinary musical reader by the fact that Canon Galpin keeps his eye on the place of this music in the civilization which produced it.'' Times (London) Literary SupplementGalpin, Francis W. is the author of 'The Music of the Sumerians and Their Immediate Successors: The Babylonians and Assyrians, Described and Illustrated from Original Sources', published 1970 under ISBN 9780837139289 and ISBN 0837139287.
