The Cambridge History of Sixteenth-Century Music (The Cambridge History of Music)

"Part of the seminal Cambridge History of Music series, this volume departs from standard histories of early modern Western music in two important ways. First, it considers music as something primarily experienced by people in their daily lives, whether as musicians or listeners, and as something that happened in particular locations, and different intellectual and ideological contexts, rather than as a story of genres, individual counties, and composers and their works. Second, by constraining discussion within the limits of a 100-year timespan, the music culture of the sixteenth century is freed from its conventional (and tenuous) absorption within the abstraction of 'the Renaissance', and is understood in terms of recent developments in the broader narrative of this turbulent period of European history. Both an original take on a well-known period in early music and a key work of reference for scholars, this volume makes an important contribution to the history of music."--Descripció feta per l'editor Series Page 3 Title Page 4 Copyright 5 Contents 6 List of Maps and Figures 8 Notes on the Contributors 12 Acknowledgements 16 List of Abbreviations 17 Maps 18 Introduction • Iain Fenlon and Richard Wistreich 24 PART I: CONFESSIONS, IDENTITIES, AND RHETORICS OF POWER 48 1 Catholic Music • Robert L.
