Vincenzo Galilei, the father of the astronomer Galileo, was a
guiding light of the Florentine Camerata. His Dialogue on Ancient
and Modern Music, published in 1581 or 1582 and now translated into
English for the first time, was among the most influential music
treatises of his era. Galilei is best known for his rejection of
modern polyphonic music in favor of Greek monophonic song. The
treatise sheds new light on his importance, both as a musician who
advocated a new philosophy of music history and theory based on an
objective search for the truth, and as an experimental scientist
who was one of the founders of modern acoustics.
