A Companion to Music in Sixteenth-Century Venice
Series:
Volume Editor:
This book offers an overview of all facets of musical life in sixteenth-century Venice. It addresses the city’s institutions (churches, confraternities, and academies) against the background of public and private occasions of music making. Supported by a generous collection of archival, literary, and iconographical sources, it treats both ceremonial life in the Serenissima and private forms of patronage. The Companion also addresses the dense web of musical activity (from chapel masters and singers to instrumentalists and instrument makers to music printers and theorists) and the rich variety of styles and musical genres (the frottola, the madrigal, motets and masses, instrumental music, polychoral music, Venetian-language polyphony), broadening the geographical perspective beyond the Veneto to Istria and Dalmatia.

"...L’immagine comune della vita musicale veneziana del Rinascimento generalmente viene focalizzata sulla basilica ducale dove si svolgevano le cerimonie solenni e sfarzose che rappresentavano il potere della Serenissima, e nella quale operavano i più prestigiosi musicisti dell’epoca, ma dai diciotto saggi che compongono questo A Companion to Music in Sixteenth-Century Venice […] emerge un panorama sonoro incredibilmente ampio, dettagliato e unico per la sua specificità. A Venezia la musica risuonava in tutti i suoi sestieri grazie alla quantità di chiese, conventi, confraternite, saloni di palazzi nobiliari e accademie, e agli stampatori e ai costruttori di strumenti musicali attivi nella città lagunare." - Paolo Scarnecchia on http://www.giornaledellamusica.it/dischi/riscoprire-la-musica-di-giovanni-croce.
