Spiritual Comfort, Courtly Delight, and Commercial Triumph

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book, the first of its kind, is a study of Bolognese instrumental music during the height of the city's musical activity in the late seventeenth century. The period, marked by a rapid expansion of the cappella musicale of the principal city church, San Petronio, by the founding of the Accademia Filarmonica, and by increasingly lavish patronage of musical events, witnessed the proliferation of repertory for instrumental ensembles. This book not only illustrates the historically significant and defining features of the music, but also links the surviving repertory to the flourishing musical culture in which it was created.
