About the journal
Early Music is a stimulating and richly illustrated journal, and is unrivalled in its field. Founded in 1973, it remains the journal for anyone interested in early music and how it is being interpreted today. Contributions from scholars and performers on international standing explore every aspect of earlier musical repertoires, present vital new evidence for our understanding of the music of the past, and tackle controversial issues of performance practice.
Each beautifully-presented issue contains a wide range of thought-provoking articles on performance practice. New discoveries of musical sources, instruments and documentation are regularly featured, and innovatory approaches to research and performance are explored, often in collections of themed articles.
Forthcoming topics include cultural transmission and exchange between the New and Old Worlds, new research on the performance of the music of Charpentier (d. 1704) and other French Baroque composers, and the musical life of convents in the early modern period.

Information for Authors
SUBMITTING ARTICLES FOR CONSIDERATION
Early Music is always pleased to consider for publication articles of up to 5,000 words.
Early Music aspires to unite the worlds of scholarship and practical performance. Articles should be clearly written, logically presented and accessible to the intelligent general reader. Our readership includes not only scholars at the cutting edge of research, and professional performers who employ the latest ideas in performing practice, but also enthusiasts who enjoy singing, playing or listening to early music. Our subject matter encompasses hundreds of years and many different countries and genres: nobody is an expert in all this material, so please do not feel that it is unduly condescending to explain a few things that a specialist in your field will probably be perfectly familiar with.
In particular, please try to avoid an excessively "academic" tone: articles should not read as though they had been filleted from a PhD dissertation. There is no need to shun the use of the first person singular or to hedge all your opinions with "scholarly caution": if you have an opinion worth presenting, state it boldly.
We make use of a very detailed style-sheet, the implementation of which may be left to our copy-editors. The best guide to editorial style, including such matters as the manner of bibliographical citation, is a recent issue of the journal. We follow standard British usage for spelling, idiom and terminology. However, our readership is international, so please beware of parochialisms.
Early Music prides itself on its illustrations. Please give careful consideration to selecting pertinent illustrative material and, where possible, include xeroxes of any illustrations you would like to include. We are always interested in pictures suitable for colour reproduction, though we are restricted in the amount of colour material we can reproduce in a single issue.
Please submit two paper copies of your article. (One we use as a file copy; the other is sent to a referee.) All text, including displayed quotations, endnotes and captions, should be double-spaced. Use endnotes rather than footnotes in the typescript. Include photocopies of your illustrations and music examples. Please provide captions for all examples, illustrations and tables.
ONCE AN ARTICLE HAS BEEN ACCEPTED
When your article has been accepted for publication, please send us as soon as you conveniently can all the materials we need to produce it in print text, music examples and illustrations. We ask you to do this even if the anticipated publication date is some time away: this gives us an opportunity to make an early start on production.
TEXT
If your article has been prepared on a computer, please supply it on disk or send it to us as an e-mail enclosure. Please also send us a printout of the latest version. (One copy is sufficient.) All the material for the article should go into a single file, i.e. it should not be divided into one file for text, another for endnotes, another for captions, etc. We are able to use files produced on PCs and Macintoshes, and from most word-processing programs. It will be helpful if you provide us with a safety net by saving a second version of your file to the disk (or e-mail) in either RTF or WordPerfect 5.1 format: most programs are able to do this using the "Save As" option. If you are sending a disk, please include the following information on the label: (1) your name and the title of the article: (2) whether it was produced on a PC or a Macintosh; (3) what word-processing package you used (including the version number, e.g. "Word 5.1a for Macintosh" ); (4) the date (this will come in useful to distinguish different generations of an article if you should later submit a revised version). If you are sending the file as an e-mail enclosure then items (2) and (3) will suffice.
MUSIC EXAMPLES
Music examples are expensive to set and inconvenient to revise, so please check that the notation of examples is complete and clearly legible. If they include any unusual or non-standard elements (e.g. many Baroque ornaments) give clear instructions so that our music-setter will be able to reproduce them. We discourage the use of Mensurstriche. Each example should be provided with a caption, which should explain what we are looking at and why. If you have used the Sibelius, Finale or Score programs to prepare your examples, it will be helpful if you include your files on the disk with the text of your article; however, please do not go to any special lengths to make the layout fit our format; our music setter will handle this.
EDITORIAL STYLE
We make use of a very detailed style-sheet, the implementation of which may be left to our copy-editors. There are, though, a few points that it may help you to be aware of.
Since we publish from London, we follow standard British usage for spelling, idiom and terminology.
When quoting material from languages other than English, always provide a translation. It is not necessary to reproduce the text in the original language unless it is of particular interest or difficulty; however, if the original words are given, they should appear in the text and not be hidden away in the endnotes.
Each table should be numbered and provided with a caption. Each column in a table should have a heading.
Titles of articles, books, dissertations and music in all languages are shown italicized with minimum capitalization, i.e. for English titles only the first word and those words that would require capitalization in running prose are to be capitalized.
In endnotes do not use ibid., op. cit., loc. cit., idem and the like; second (and later) references to a work are made by the short-title system. Similarly, do not use "cf." but "see" or "compare".
In the endnotes authors of secondary sources are shown with initials only; composers and authors of primary sources are given forenames. Editors of books are shown after the title, i.e. The Tinctoris companion, ed. J. Doe (and not J. Doe (ed.), The Tinctoris companion).

Publication details of books and music normally show only place and date; occasionally, though, it is useful to add the publisher of some of the more out-of-the-way modern editions of music. Where there are multiple places of publication, cite just the first. Omit details of photographic reprints.
Volume numbers of books and periodicals are shown in small roman numerals. References to page numbers in books and journals are always preceded by p. or pp. Avoid such uses as pp.13f. or 72ff.; instead give a terminal page number pp.13-14, pp.72-85. When first citing articles in periodicals and books, give the full pagination, not just the first page number.
Library sigla for manuscript sources should be avoided unless their use will save a great deal of repetition, in which case the full reference should be given on their first occurrence.
We prefer folios to be cited in the form ff.6v-7r. Note that in this system f.6 indicates the whole of folio 6 and not just the recto.
Some examples of preferred forms of bibliographical citations:
Books: J. Doe, Johannes Tinctoris: life and works (Oswestry, 1968), pp.73-5.
Dissertations and theses: J. Doe, The compositions of Johannes Tinctoris (PhD diss., U. of Slough, 1966), i, pp.247-9.
Articles in a periodical: J. Doe, "New light on Tinctoris", Journal of the Australian Musicological Society, iii (1971), pp.125-40, at p.130.
Articles in a collection of essays: R. Roe, "Mensural puzzles in Tinctoris", The Tinctoris companion, ed. J. Doe (Hoboken, NJ, 1975), pp.73-85, at pp.79-80.
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT
Shortly before we are ready to put your article into proof we will check whether you have any major revisions to make, and whether you need to submit an updated version of the text. (Minor changes can be handled as corrections to the first and only proof.)
COMPLIMENTARY COPY & OFFPRINTS
Upon publication you will be sent a complimentary copy of the issue in which your article appears. If you send a completed an offprint order form to the Production Editor, after a short delay you will receive 25 offprint copies of the article plus free online access to your article. If you need more offprints these can be provided for a small charge, but they must be ordered in advance. We can offer a substantial discount if you wish to purchase further copies of the journal. Please contact us for more details.
CONTRIBUTOR PAYMENTS
Unusually for a scholarly publication, Early Music has always paid its contributors a fee. We hope to continue this means of demonstrating our appreciation of our authors' efforts, but cannot guarantee it.
LICENCE TO PUBLISH
Please sign and return the Licence to Publish form: by granting an exclusive licence to Oxford University Press the article will be permitted the widest possible dissemination while you retain the right to use material from it in other publications you write or edit. Please return to the Early Music Editorial office not Oxford head office.
ILLUSTRATIONS
Early Music is famous for its rich pictorial content; no other music journal can match us on that front. You should therefore give careful thought to the images that might accompany your article, and preferably you should suggest a generous quantity of them. For guidance and inspiration, please consult a recent copy of the journal. We are always interested in pictures suitable for colour reproduction, but since the cost of printing colour is considerably greater than black and white, we must set a limit on the amount we use in a single issue. If colour is crucial to your article, please make sure that we understand this. The final choice of illustrations will be made as we approach publication.
Three months before publication, we will need high-quality copies of all the images. We can cope with a wide variety of formats. However, please beware of the following pitfalls.
- For the highest quality colour work (particularly of paintings from art galleries) we need large transparencie (approximately 100x125mm); colour prints are second best. The large transparencies are generally available only on hire from galleries and picture libraries. 35mm slides should be avoided as they are inconvenient for a number of reasons. Please have them turned into photographic prints before you send them to us.
- For black and white illustrations, photographic prints are usually best. However, for material with a strong
black/white contrast, such as woodcuts and engraved music, good-quality photocopies can be just as good, sometimes better.
- Digitized pictures (TIFF, JPEG, PICT etc.) create all kinds of technical problems, and, except under very
unusual circumstances, are best avoided. Illustrations downloaded from the Web are of insufficient quality for print reproduction.
- Please do not send us microfilms: we cannot use them.
When ordering photographs, please ensure that they can be delivered in time to reach us three months before publication. If a delay looks likely, ask if an express photographic service is available. Express photography costs significantly more than the regular service, so we recommend that you order your photographs well in advance. If you wish to keep the photographs after publication, we ask you to pay for them, and they will be returned to you after publication. If you do not wish to keep them and want to be reimbursed, that can usually be arranged, but the photographs will then become our property.
Images provided by hire libraries: the Early Music office will make the hire arrangements, and pay all the fees that arise from their use. We will also assist you in the wording of the captions that accompany these images.
PERMISSION TO REPRODUCE ILLUSTRATIONS
It is your responsibility as the author to obtain written permission to reproduce an image. You should therefore write to the library, museum, archive or gallery that supplied you with the image. Early Music is available onine and it is essential that permission to reproduce is sought well in advance so that any unforeseen copyright issues can be dealt with in good time. Ideally, any clearances should be obtained immediately upon acceptance of the article for publication, but in the very least before the article enters the production process.
Please note that if any third party permissions have not been obtained before this time, it is possible that there could be a delay in the publication of an article, or indeed the entire journal.
Please go to http://www.oxfordjournals.org/access_purchase/image_permissions.htmlfor more information and guidance.
Facsimiles: If you wish to reproduce a page from a facsimile, you need to obtain permission from the publisher of the facsimile. However, this is a complex area, and we recommend that you discuss it with us well in advance of publication.
Captions: Every image should be supplied with a caption, which we ask you to write. The caption should explain what the reader is seeing, and must also give full details of the source from which it has been taken. It should also acknowledge permission to reproduce, using the exact wording supplied in the letter of permission, and (in the case of books or manuscripts) it must give the call-number or shelfmark, and the page or folio number.
