Comments:
Two cassettes are accompanying a book by Jeremy Yudkin "Music in medieval Europe" published in 1989 by Prentice-Hall. This is the latest published anthology provided with recordings (extra $). A similar approach has been taken by others in the past such as:

The Oxford Anthology of Music: Medieval Music
The History of Music in Sound - Oxford University Press

Another cassette series:

The Medieval Lyric: A Project Supported by the National Endowment for the Humanities and Mount Holyoke College
Margaret Switten and Robert Eisenstein, dirs.
The Medieval Lyric [5 Cassettes]
