Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
Honey Meconi presents the first English-language study of the life, music, and historical reception of Pierre de la Rue (who died in 1518), leading composer at the famed Habsburg-Burgundian court of Maximilian I, Philip the Fair, Juana of Castile, Marguerite of Austria, and the future Charles V. She draws on extensive documentation to present a comprehensive study of La Rue's life and a complete record of the transmission of his music across Europe.
MoreLong description:
Pierre de la Rue, composer at the grande chapelle of the Habsburg-Burgundian court for nearly a quarter of a century, composed for one of the leading musical institutions of his day. Serving successive rulers Maximilian I, Philip the Fair, Juana of Castile, Marguerite of Austria, and the future Charles V, La Rue surpassed a dozen composer colleagues in his creation of polyphony to meet the needs of the court and its extravagant liturgy. Honey Meconi presents the first ever study in English of la Rue's life and career, exploring aspects of his compositional output and highlighting the reawakening of modern scholarship to his unique contribution. Extensive documentation of the events of his life and a complete record of the transmission of his music across Europe make this study essential for everyone studying the musical court in Europe at the turn of the 16th century.
Meconi has done the scholarly community a service by presenting so many of her findings on La Rue and his music together here.
