This innovative and multi-layered study of the music and culture of
Renaissance instrumentalists spans the early institutionalization
of instrumental music from c.1420 to the rise of the basso continuo
and newer roles for instrumentalists around 1600. Employing a broad
cultural narrative interwoven with detailed case studies, close
readings of eighteen essential musical sources, and analysis of
musical images, Victor Coelho and Keith Polk show that instrumental
music formed a vital and dynamic element in the artistic landscape,
from rote function to creative fantasy. Instrumentalists occupied a
central role in courtly ceremonies and private social rituals
during the Renaissance, and banquets, dances, processions,
religious celebrations and weddings all required their
participation, regardless of social class. Instrumental genres were
highly diverse artistic creations, from polyphonic repertories
revealing knowledge of notated styles, to improvisation and
flexible practices. Understanding the contributions of
instrumentalists is essential for any accurate assessment of
Renaissance culture.
