Editing Music in Early Modern Germany argues that editors played a
critical role in the transmission and reception of Italian music
outside Italy. Like their counterparts in the world of classical
learning, Renaissance music editors translated texts and reworked
settings from Venetian publications, adapting them to the needs of
northern audiences. Their role is most evident in the emergence of
the anthology as the primary vehicle for the distribution of
madrigals outside Italy. As a publication type that depended upon
the judicious selection and presentation of material, the anthology
showcased editorial work. Anthologies offer a valuable case study
for examining the impact of editorial decision-making on the
cultivation of particular styles, genres, authors and audiences.
The book suggests that music editors defined the appropriation of
Italian music through the same processes of adaptation,
transformation and domestication evident in the broader reception
of Italy north of the Alps. Through these studies, Susan Lewis
Hammond's work reassesses the importance of northern Europe in the
history of the madrigal and its printing. This book will be the
first comprehensive study of editors as a distinct group within the
network of printers, publishers, musicians and composers that
brought the madrigal to northern audiences. The field of
Renaissance music printing has a long and venerable scholarly
tradition among musicologists and music bibliographers. This study
will contribute to recent efforts to infuse these studies with new
approaches to print culture that address histories of reading and
listening, patronage, marketing, transmission, reception, and their
cultural and political consequences.
