New essays by noted authorities on music and related arts in early
modern Italy, giving special attention to musical sources, poetry,
performance, and visual arts. The rich cultural environment of
early modern Italy inspired a vast array of musical innovations:
this was the first age of the virtuoso performer, the era that
witnessed the beginnings of opera, and a moment that saw the
intersection and cross-fertilization of madrigals and songs of all
sorts. Word, Image, and Song: Essays on Early Modern Italy presents
a broad range of approaches to the study of music and related arts
in that era. Topics include musical source studies, issues of
performance, poetry and linguistics, influences on music from the
classical tradition, and the interconnectedness of music and visual
art. Their points of departure include well-known musical workssuch
as Monteverdi's madrigals, librettos of seventeenth-century operas,
the poetry of Giambattista Marino, and the paintings of Titian and
his contemporaries. Contributors: Jennifer Williams Brown, Mauro
