Supposing one wanted to learn the fundamentals of music as it was taught in the 16th century, starting with the gamut and hexachords. Are there any sources which approach this pedagogically?

I'm arriving at 10:58pm on Saturday evening--anyone want to share a cab to Green College? -- Caroline Usher, Dept. of Biology Box 90338 Durham NC 27708 613-8155, fax 660-7293 "So that its subjects will view it with admiration, as a chicken which has the daring and courage to boldly cross the road, but also with fear, for who among them has the strength to contend with such a paragon of avian virtue?
