Abstract

One must reexamine the history of brass instruments after the fall of the Roman empire, giving due consideration to the early, post-Roman inhabitants of Western Europe. Too often, the Italian Renaissance is seen as a singular phenomenon of culture, owing all to the genius and dynamism of the modern, post-medieval European neoclassicist. However, much is owed to the so-called barbarians who took control of much of Europe after Rome's fall, and not only retained but built upon classical learning. (Schreur, Philip E.)
