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 Schütz 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
"Renaissance" and "Baroque"). It thus provides a complete overview of
the music and its context.
