Description
Claudio Monteverdi is now recognised as the towering figure of a critical transitional moment of Western music history: a relentless innovator in every genre within chamber, church and theatre music; a self-proclaimed leader of a 'new dispensation' between words and their musical expression; perhaps even the 'Creator of Modern Music'.
During recent years, as his arrestingly attractive music has been brought back to life in performance, some of the most outstanding musicologists have focussed intensely on Monteverdi as they worked through the 'big' questions in the historiography and hermeneutics of early Baroque music. This includes aspects such as musical representation of language, compositional theory, social, institutional, cultural and gender history, performance practices and more.
The 17 articles in this volume have been selected by Richard Wistreich to exemplify the best scholarship in English. Each article, in retrospect, turns out to have been a ground-breaking contribution to one or more significant strands in Monteverdi studies.
