Book Description
Early Music History is devoted to the study of music from the early Middle Ages to the end of the seventeenth century. It demands the highest standards of scholarship from its contributors, all of whom are leading academics in their fields. It gives preference to studies pursuing interdisciplinary approaches and to those developing novel methodological ideas. The scope is exceptionally broad and includes manuscript studies, textual criticism, iconography, studies of the relationship between words and music and the relationship between music and society. Articles in volume three include: The Venetian privilege and music-printing in the sixteenth century; Francesco Landini and the Florentine cultural elite; and the Beneventan apostrophus in south Italian notation, AD 1000-1100.

Book Description
Giovanni Gabrieli (c.1555-1612) is the greatest Venetian composer of the late Renaissance, and one of the most significant figures of the period. Since the time when Richard Charteris was invited by the American Institute of Musicology to edit Giovanni Gabrieli's complete works in twelve volumes for the series Corpus mensurabitis music?, he has uncovered a considerable number of previously unknown works by this composer, and discovered a vast quantity of hitherto unknown sources of h is music. This thematic catalogue presents data about these discoveries and many others, besides collating an enormous amount of widely-scattered information. The catalogue covers: UL>l(1)the early music manuscripts and prints, almost all of which the auth or has consulted firsthand in collections in the northern hemisphere; /ll(2) a selection of modern music manuscripts;/ll (3) theplethora of modern editions and printed fragments; /ll(4) the sound recordings, including 78s, long-playing records and CDs; /ll(5) the relevant literature dealing with each work; /ll(6) the nature of the vocal texts and their use at St. Mark's; /ll(7) the doubtful and spurious works, among them pieces that are wrongly accepted today as genuine; and /ll(8), the parodies of Gabrieli's works by other composers./l/ul> There is much else in the book, not the least being a thematic indicator of each work and an English translation of each of Gabrieli's vocal texts. In short, this book will be an invaluable reference work for anyone concerned with the music of Giovanni Gabrieli, be they scholars, students or performers.

Book Description
This book introduces a nearly lost music culture: the Vienna court of the Holy Roman Emperor Ferdinand II (1619-37). During the Thirty Years War, Vienna was home to one of the largest, most resplendent musical organizations in Europe, making it an important hub for the assimilation of modern Italianate music in the German-speaking lands. Saunders looks at the music in its cultural context, showing how sacred music at this pivotal center was shaped by the composers, institutions, and ideas of the period, and he examines the life and works of the most important court composers, particularly the two imperial chapel masters Giovanni Priuli and Giovanni Valentini.

Book Description
"'Giovanni Gabrieli, ye gods, what a man.' Thus Heinrich Schütz recalled his teacher, the greatest of that school of Venetian composers which flourished in the later Renaissance. Denis Arnold's new study, based on prolonged research in the Venetian archives, attempts a fresh appraisal of Gabrieli's music and pays particular attention to the social requirements which were of such importance in the Venice of the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. The book also devotes considerable space to Gabrieli's contemporaries--his uncle Andrea Gabrieli, Croce, Merulo, Bassano, and others--which sheds much light on a major school of composition."--Dust jacket.

Book Description
Knowledge and debate in the field of sixteenth- and early seventeenth-century Venetian music has greatly benefitted in recent decades from studies of major institutions, composers, repertories and sources, as also from investigations of the quantitative aspects of musical life in what was one of the largest, richest and most commercially oriented cities on the Italian peninsula: the Venetian musical phenomenon includes, on the one hand, regular or sporadic musical activities in the city's many churches and private palaces (activities which provided significant earnings for large numbers of musicians, whether or not salaried members of the ducal cappella) and, on the other, the auxiliary trades of music printing and instrument making. The transmission of the musical repertories has also received notable attention: in particular, the contemporary and later reception of Venetian musical repertories in different political, linguistic and/or confessional areas. This collection of essays on the life, times and works of a composer who ranks among the most outstanding musical personalities of his day variously unites these strands in an albeit partial attempt to interpret Giovanni Gabrieli's output and activities in their Venetian context and, at the same time, cast light on their broader historiographical significance: on the one hand Gabrieli as point of synthesis of a complex Venetian musical tradition, on the other his interaction with and impact on contemporary musical life, his influence on later generations of composers both at home and abroad, the rediscovery of his achievements by nineteenth- and twentieth-century historians and performers, the revisitations of his music by twentieth-century composers.--Adapted from Introduction, page 1.
