Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A CULTURAL HISTORY OF WESTERN MUSIC IN THE RENAISSANCE A Cultural History of Western Music in the Renaissance covers the period from 1400 to 1650, examining structures of identity and the delicate relationships between self, society, and sound. What did listeners and creators want from music in the Renaissance? How were the forms and meanings of music shaped by the social, political, and technological transformations of the time? Music was put to many uses in this epoch: as an instrument of power in a changing political order; as an aid to religious and philosophical speculation; and as a tool for constructing emotional communities and regimes. And music itself was transformed, both by new technologies, such as print, and by the expansion of travel and trade. The 6 volume set of the Cultural History of Western Music presents the first comprehensive history from classical antiquity to today, covering all forms and aspects of music and its ever-changing social context. The themes covered in each volume are society; philosophies; politics; exchange; education; popular culture; performance; and technologies.

Download or read book Music History During the Renaissance Period 1425 1520 written by Blanche Gangwere and published by Greenwood. This book was released on 1991-05-30 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This annotated chronology of western music is the second in a planned series of outlines of the history of music in western civilization. Although there are many excellent books on music history, until now no single source has systematically presented concise information on theory, notation, style, composers, instruments, and terminology, incorporating findings from primary sources and the results of subsequent scholarly research. The present volume contains material concerning the background, philosophy, theory, notation, style, manuscript sources, theoretical sources, classes of music, composers, and instruments of the period from 1425 to 1520, the first part of the Renaissance. At the end of each section there are maps that show pertinent empires, kingdoms, and places of interest. The appendices cover mannered notation, intonation and temperament, and opinions from other sources that differ from those cited in the text. This book consults all types of sources to cover as many important facts as possible, and presents those facts in an organized manner. Thus, a vast amount of data is digested for ready access, and further information may be obtained from the sources noted. As a convenience to researchers, each line of the outline is documented. Technical terms, foreign words, foreign titles, and the names of persons are found in Definition and Pronounciation in the back of the volume. Like its predecessor, Music History from the Late Roman Through the Gothic Periods, 313-1425, this volume will be an essential acquisition for the serious music historian and librarian.
Download or read book Music of the Renaissance written by Laurenz Lütteken and published by University of California Press. This book was released on 2019-02-12 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Where previous accounts of the Renaissance have not fully acknowledged the role that music played in this decisive period of cultural history, Laurenz Lütteken merges historical music analysis with the analysis of the other arts to provide a richer context for the emergence and evolution of creative cultures across civilizations. This fascinating panorama foregrounds music as a substantial component of the era and considers musical works and practices in a wider cultural-historical context. Among the topics surveyed are music's relationship to antiquity, the position of music within systems of the arts, the emergence of the concept of the musical work, as well as music's relationship to the theory and practice of painting, literature, and architecture. What becomes clear is that the Renaissance gave rise to many musical concepts and practices that persist to this day, whether the figure of the composer, musical institutions, and modes of musical writing and memory.
