Publisher's Synopsis

The World of Baroque Music presents essays by leading scholars on Baroque music. Each focuses on a different city, court, or region, and profiles the critical developments in that location for a single genre (song, opera, keyboard music, guitar, trio sonata, etc.). The essays are complemented by paintings and original scores from the period. This volume covers the entire span of the Baroque, with topics ranging from early Italian opera in Florence to synagogue music in Mantua, from Italian women composers to the solo song in Shakespeare's England. Utilizing a wide variety of approaches, the contributors examine economic, religious, and sociological influences on the Baroque style. Two CDs are included.
