To complete a book on the life and works of the Florentine composer Francesco de Layolle (1492-1540). He was one of the first Italian composers of the Renaissance to fuse successfully the traditional chordal concepts of peninsular music with the newer contrapuntal style of the Franco-Nether landers. The second part of the project will be to work on a two-volume Introduction to Renaissance Music. The first volume will comprise a detailed survey of Renaissance music; the second volume will contain an anthology to accompany the first volume.
