Snow 2007: "An anthology of and commentary on the terms used in the CSM to refer to the compositions themselves (some 17 in all). Most of these are used generally and tend to value the lyric element, i. e. the music. in the CSM at the expense of the narrative forms. A final note — on the 24 prosifications — shows that 23 of them use the term 'historia', a term more suited to the clearly narrative purpose they manifest." |
