Wendy Heller's Music in the Baroque
traces the production and consumption of music in the seventeenth and
early eighteenth century. Going beyond a history of styles, the text
explores patronage, education, religious and civic ritual, theater, and
visual culture. Heller focuses not only on the nature of music in the
Baroque period, but also on the very different ways in which men and
women experienced music in their daily lives. Treating music as an
expression of political and national identity, she examines it in the
context of the era's art and literature, political and religious
conflicts, and contentious issues of class and gender.
Western Music in Context: A Norton History
comprises six volumes of moderate length, each written in an engaging
style by a recognized expert. Authoritative and current, the series
examines music in the broadest sense―as sounds notated, performed, and
heard―focusing not only on composers and works, but also on broader
social and intellectual currents.
