The Cambridge History of Seventeenth-Century Music provides a
fascinating examination of the repertoire, institutions,
performers, composers, and social and cultural world which created
one of the most crucial and vibrant moments in western music
history. The twelve contributors, all leading scholars in their
fields, explore the new aspects of composition and performance
which took root during this time: the cosmopolitan nature of music
making; the emergence of new markets for musical activity at court,
in the theatre, church, and academy, as well as domestically; and
the proliferation of new musical styles and gestures and their
language and meaning. Many chapters also relate the musical
developments to broader cultural and conceptual issues of the age.
The volume also contains a separate chronology and dictionary-style
entries on individuals, places and institutions.
