The Cambridge History of Seventeenth-Century Music seeks to provide
the most up-to-date knowledge on seventeenth-century music together
with a vital questioning of the way in which such a history can be
told or put together for our present purposes. Written by a
distinguished team of experts in the field, the chapters not only
address traditional areas of knowledge such as opera and church
music, but also look at the way this extremely diverse and dynamic
musical world has been categorised in the past and how its products
are viewed from various cultural points of view. While this history
does not depart entirely from the traditional study of musical
works and their composers, there is a strong emphasis on the
institutions, cultures and politics of the age, together with an
interrogation of the ways in which music related to contemporary
arts, sciences and beliefs.
