Description
An authoritative survey of music and its context in the Renaissance.The
sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries - the so-called Golden Age of Polyphony -
represent a time of great change and development in European music, with the flourishing of
Orlando di Lasso, Palestrina, Byrd, Victoria, Monteverdi and Schutz among others. The
chapters of this book, contributed by established scholars on subjects within their fields
of expertise, deal with polyphonic music - sacred and secular, vocal and instrumental -
during this period. The volume offers chronological surveys of national musical cultures (in
Italy, France, the Netherlands, Germany, England, and Spain); genre studies (Mass, motet,
madrigal, chanson, instrumental music, opera); and is completed with essays on intellectual
and cultural developments and concepts relevant to music (music theory, printing, the
Protestant Reformation and the corresponding Catholic movement, humanism, concepts of
"e;Renaissance"e; and "e;Baroque"e;). It thus provides a
complete overview of the music and its context. Contributors: GARY TOMLINSON, JAMES HAAR,
