Mapping the Motet in the Post-Tridentine Era provides new
dimensions to the discussion of the immense corpus of polyphonic
motets produced and performed in the decades following the end of
the Council of Trent in 1563. Beyond the genre's rich connections
with contemporary spiritual life and religious experience, the
motet is understood here as having a multifaceted life in
transmission, performance and reception. By analysing the
repertoire itself, but also by studying its material life in books
and accounts, in physical places and concrete sonic environments,
and by investigating the ways in which the motet was listened to
and talked about by contemporaries, the eleven chapters in this
book redefine the cultural role of the genre. The motet, thanks to
its own protean nature, not bound to any given textual, functional
or compositional constraint, was able to convey cultural meanings
powerfully, give voice to individual and collective identities,
cross linguistic and confessional divides, and incarnate a model of
learned and highly expressive musical composition. Case studies
include considerations of composers (Palestrina, Victoria, Lasso),
cities (Seville and Granada, Milan), books (calendrically ordered
collections, non-liturgical music books) and special portions of
the repertoire (motets pro defunctis, instrumental intabulations).
