Review: "Famous for their love affair and their letter exchange, Heloise, abbess of the Paraclete, and Abelard, monk and scholar, are less known for their on-going monastic relationship. Abelard's letters of direction to Heloise and her nuns were complemented by the liturgical music he composed for them. This first study of Abelard as musician and spiritual director focuses on the importance liturgical song has in forming the monastic virtues of obedience, penitence, and humility, and on Abelard's mastery of rhetoric, poetry, and melody."--BOOK JACKET.
