Book Description
Giovanni Maria Nanino (1543/44-1607) was one of the most important musicians of late sixteenth century Rome. Active as papal singer, chapel master, composer, teacher, and as one of the protagonists of the newly founded Compagnia dei Eccellenti Musici di Roma, he had a deep impact on Roman musical development in the decades around 1600. It is especially in the madrigal, the most popular genre of the cinquecento, that one can admire Nanino's ability to bring together traditional stylistic elements of the mid-century madrigal with elements of the modern styles commented on by Vincenzo Giustiniani in his Discorso sopra la musica of the early Seicento. Most of Nanino's published music is secular--either madrigals or canzonettas. He published three volumes of madrigals--the second together with his Roman colleague Annibale Stabile. But his leadership in the world of the late-century madrigal can most clearly be seen in his presence in virtually all the most important anthologies of newly published madrigals of the time. By some measures he was the most anthologized madrigal composer of his age. The present volume, part 3 of 3 in the Complete Madrigals, includes his third book of madrigals and those madrigals by Nanino that first appeared in anthologies in the years 1588-1610.

Book Description
Leonard Melderts Primo libro de madrigali a cinque voci (Venice, 1578) has an interest and musical quality far beyond what one might guess from the modest facts of the authors life and works. The book partly reflects the musical tastes of the court of Urbino in the final years of Duke Guidobaldo II Della Rovere (151474) and of the private household of his brother, Cardinal Giulio Della Rovere (153378). But its structure and contents display some unusual features that can be linked to the circumstances of Melderts life and to his own initiative in projecting and assembling his book of madrigals. Moreover, it offers the first settings of then-recent poems by Torquato Tasso, Giovanni Battista Guarini, and Giuliano Goselini, the result of the composers personal contacts in the court of Ferrara and his ties to the literary and musical circle of Antonio Londonio, a Milan-based Spanish diplomat. This edition presents the Primo libro for the first time in a modern edition, examining Melderts textual choices and musical style within the contexts of courtly life, his personal biography, and the nascent seconda prattica.

Book Description
Viewed traditionally, the history of sixteenth-century Mantuan music is almost a catalogue of some of the most distinguished composers of the age, from Tromboncino and Cara, via Jacquet of Mantua, to Wert, Palestrina, Marenzio, Pallavicino, Gastoldi, Rossi and Monteverdi. The remarkable achievements of composers under Gonzaga patronage, practically synonymous with Mantuan patronage during this period, are treated here in their social context. The arguments proceed not just from the music itself, but from detailed examination of archival sources, from which Dr Fenlon reconstructs employment patterns and describes the social structure and institutional life of the city. The aim of the book is to show how the patterns of patronage, and music and musicians, reflect and illuminate the temperaments and prime preoccupations of successive rulers. The book contains a substantial appendix of unpublished archival documents, a small proportion only of the scholarly and comparative sources on which the study is based.
