Based on extensive documentary and archival research,Music in Renaissance Ferrarais
a study of the rise of music at a vital center of Italian Renaissance
culture, focusing on the patrons and musicians whose efforts gave
Ferrara a primary role in European music during the fifteenth century.
The successive rulers of the Italian city-state, members of the Este
dynasty, brought to Ferrara some of the most important composers of the
period, including Guillaume Dufay, Johannes Martini, Jacob Obrecht, and
Josquin Desprez. Moreover, Ferrara has long been famous as the seat of
activity of three of the most important poets of the period - Boiardo,
Ariosto, and Tasso - as well as for its school of painting and
manuscript production and illumination. With Lewis Lockwood's Music in
Renaissance Ferrara, the city-state steps forward as a major musical
center as well.
Winner of the Otto Kinkeldey Award of the American
Musicological Society for its original 1985 edition, this current
paperback edition of Music in Renaissance Ferrara
features a new preface that re-introduces the book and reflects on its
contribution to our modern knowledge of music in the culture of the
Italian Renaissance.
