Where previous accounts of the Renaissance have not fully
acknowledged the role that music played in this decisive period of
cultural history, Laurenz Lutteken 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.
