The Vulgate Online The
work in English on Latin pronunciation is Harold Copeman's Singing in Latin
(ISBN 0 9515798 2 7), revised edition, 1992.
This work was self-published in Oxford and is an exhaustive analysis of
pronunciation by period and region.
There is also 'The pocket 'Singing in Latin'' and small ring bound
summary designed for choristers
(ISBN 0 9515798 1 9)- quite handy. A later work that has input by Copeman is
McGee, Rigg and Klausner's Singing Early Music, Indiana University Press,
1996. This has extended sections on the pronunciation of Latin by region and
period and has an accompanying CD of recorded examples of pronunciation also but
is not as comprehensive.
