Although he is often identified as a Monteverdi scholar (Approaches
to Monteverdi: Aesthetic, Psychological, Analytical and Historical
Studies, published in the Variorum series in 2013), the majority of
Jeffrey Kurtzman's work has focused on other sixteenth- and
seventeenth-century Italian sacred music. Organized into three
sections, part one begins with a chapter on the Monteverdi Mass and
Vespers of 1610 which spotlights the other major work in
Monteverdi's first prominent sacred print, the Missa in illo
tempore, followed by examples of Kurtzman's work on the sacred
music of other composers such as Giovanni Francesco Capello and
Palestrina. The section concludes with a piece on polyphonic psalm
structures in seventeenth-century Italian Office music. Part two
includes pieces which explore the relationship between the standard
clef set, the high clef set, specific Magnificat tones and sounding
pitch in the Magnificats of Roman composers; the issue of
polyphonic psalm antiphons and the question of vocal and
instrumental substitutes for plainchant antiphons in the Vespers
service; and the use of instruments in the performance of sacred
music, demonstrating that the concertato style of the seventeenth
century had its origins in the practice of substituting instruments
for voices and doubling voices with instruments, thereby
introducing multifaceted possibilities for varying sonorities
through the course of a composition. Part 3 contains two articles:
the first surveying various styles in the Office repertoire of the
seventeenth-century based on the approximately 1500 prints of
Italian Office music in Kurtzman's and Anne Schnoebelen's catalogue
of Mass, Office and Holy Week Music Printed in Italy, 1516-1770.
The second article, published for the first time in this volume,
assesses the impact on Italian liturgical music of the Catholic
reform of the second half of the sixteenth-century.
