This book collects twelve of the papers given at a conference held
at the Library of Congress, Washington D.C., on 1-3 April 1993, in
conjunction with the exhibition `Rome Reborn: The Vatican Library
and Renaissance Culture'. A group of distinguished scholars
considered music in medieval and Renaissance Rome. The volume
presents a series of wide-ranging and original treatments of music
written for and performed in the papal court from the fourteenth to
the sixteenth century. New discoveries are offered which force a
radical reevaluation of the Italian papal court as a musical centre
during the Great Schism. A series of motets for various popes are
subject to close analysis. New interpretations and information are
offered concerning the repertory of the papal chapel in the
fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, the institutional life of the
papal singers, and the individual biographies of singers and
composers. Thought-provoking, even controversial, evaluations of
the music of composers connected with, or thought to be connected
with, Rome and the papal court, such as Ninot le Petit, Josquin,
and Palestrina round out the volume.
