Claudio Monteverdi is now recognized as the towering figure of a
critical transitional moment of Western music history: relentless
innovator in every genre within chamber, church and theatre music;
self-proclaimed leader of a 'new dispensation' between words and
their musical expression; perhaps even 'Creator of Modern Music'.
During recent years, as his arrestingly attractive music has been
brought back to life in performance, so too have some of the most
outstanding musicologists focussed intensely on Monteverdi as they
worked through the 'big' questions in the historiography and
hermeneutics of early Baroque music, including musical
representation of language; compositional theory; social,
institutional, cultural and gender history; performance practices
and more. The 17 articles in this volume have been selected by
Richard Wistreich to exemplify the best scholarship in English and
because each, in retrospect, turns out to have been a
ground-breaking contribution to one or more significant strands in
Monteverdi studies.
