Part of the seminal Cambridge History of Music series, this volume
departs from standard histories of early modern Western music in
two important ways. First, it considers music as something
primarily experienced by people in their daily lives, whether as
musicians or listeners, and as something that happened in
particular locations, and different intellectual and ideological
contexts, rather than as a story of genres, individual counties,
and composers and their works. Second, by constraining discussion
within the limits of a 100-year timespan, the music culture of the
sixteenth century is freed from its conventional (and tenuous)
absorption within the abstraction of 'the Renaissance', and is
understood in terms of recent developments in the broader narrative
of this turbulent period of European history. Both an original take
on a well-known period in early music and a key work of reference
for scholars, this volume makes an important contribution to the
history of music.
