This includes aspects such as musical representation of language, compositional theory, social, institutional, cultural and gender history, performance practices and more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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 \u003cem\u003eMonteverdi\u003c\/em\u003e studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47607038968044,"sku":"9781032918600","price":75.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/2bd0b4a056530a4ec34709dc884a36bb.jpg?v=1778191174","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/monteverdi-9781032918600","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
