This book, originally published in Italian, is a leading
biographical study of the greatest composer of late Renaissance and
early Baroque Italy. Monteverdi's contribution to secular, sacred
and theatrical music in the period was unparalleled: his madrigals,
church music and operas remain very much alive today. A large
number of contemporary documents, including some 130 of his own
letters, offer rich insights into the composer and his times, also
illuminating the many and varied contexts for music making in the
most important musical centres in Italy. Fabbri uses these
documents and other sources to present a rich narrative focusing on
a composer who has perhaps rightly been called the 'father of
modern music'. This translation brings an indispensable text to a
much broader readership, providing a vivid picture of a fascinating
period in music history.
