Joachim Burmeister's early seventeenth-century treatise on the
making of music is generally acknowledged to be central to the
understanding of Baroque musical practice: it was the first
systematically to explore the connection between rhetoric and music
that became a cornerstone of Baroque musical thought. But until now
neither a reliable modern edition nor a full translation of this
seminal work has existed. This much-needed edition by Benito V.
Rivera contains a critical transcription of the Latin text and an
annotated translation on facing pages. In a lengthy introduction to
the book, Rivera reviews Burmeister's two earlier treatises on
musical composition, analyzes Musical Poetics as a whole, and
places it within its historical context. An appendix to the edition
reproduces the passages of music cited by Burmeister, greatly
facilitating the interpretation of Burmeister's explanations of the
rhetorical figures. The book will be of interest to music
historians and theorists as well as to scholars of rhetoric.
