Abstract

Anglo-Saxon texts, whether in Latin or Old English, contain many references to music and musicians, and much of the most important evidence for our knowledge of music in Anglo-Saxon England derives from such texts, although archaeological finds and manuscript illustrations of musicians and musical instruments are also of value. Only a tiny amount of the music performed and sung in Anglo-Saxon England was ever written down, of that only a fraction survives, and of that fraction much remains indecipherable.
