This series publishes coherent research companions providing scholarly investigations of key themes and subjects in all aspects of medieval and early modern musical culture in Europe. Written by the foremost specialists in the field, the volumes offer broad and balanced accounts along with a synthesis of debate, reflections on the field, and considerations of future directions for research.

Each title presents a detailed and academic introduction to the topic to newcomers to a field, while also providing fresh insights, angles, and perspectives to scholars already well-versed in the area. The books are equipped with up-to-date bibliographies, and include images, musical examples, and other supporting apparatus as necessary. Offering cross-volume discussion of the most pertinent questions, each companion demonstrates a lively sense of current debates, and gives new impetus to future discourse.

Prospective editors of companion volumes are invited to contact the publisher at Brill, Dr Kate Hammond, to discuss their proposed project.
