EBOOK Sounds of Milan, 1585-1650
Opis
In this follow-up to his 1996 monograph Celestial Sirens, Robert Kendrick examines the cultural contexts of music in early-modern Milan. He book describes the churches and palaces that served as performance spaces in Milan, analyses the power structures in the city, discusses the devotional rites of the Milanese, and explores the connections among city politics, city-scape, and music. The result is a complete and interdisciplinary portrait of Milan, on of the most vibrant - and most musical - cities in early-modern Italy.
