Reviews
The diversity of the contributions is a strength of the collection. All chapters are presented in clear and not arcane language. All contributors are highly interdisciplinary in approach-drawing from treatises on music theory, grammar, theology, science, and medicine. One of the great strengths of the book is its ability to inspire readers to devise their own esoteric connections.
A solid contribution to the interdisciplinary study of western esotericism and music. Some [chapters] are absolute gems. No esoteric musicologist's bookshelves will be complete without this one
The serious study of esotericism among contemporary academics...has been a welcome shift in the musicological landscape. [This book] reminds us that the esoteric is something more than marginal: it too is part of our cultural heritage.
