The musica secreta or concerto delle dame of Duke Alfonso II
d'Este, an ensemble of virtuoso female musicians that performed
behind closed doors at the castello in Ferrara, is well-known to
music history. Their story is often told by focussing on the Duke's
obsessive patronage and the exclusivity of their music. This book
examines the music-making of four generations of princesses,
noblewomen and nuns in Ferrara, as performers, creators, and
patrons from a new perspective. It rethinks the relationships
between polyphony and song, sacred and secular, performer and
composer, patron and musician, court and convent. With new archival
evidence and analysis of music, people, and events over the course
of the century, from the role of the princess nun musician, Leonora
d'Este, to the fate of the musica secreta's jealously guarded
repertoire, this radical approach will appeal to musicians and
scholars alike.
