Music and Merchants - The Laudesi Companies of Republican Florence (e-book) (used book) | bookbook.eu
Reviews
Description
For all that has been written about Renaissance Florence, we know relatively little about its musical life, it religious life, and the aspirations of its average citizens. This book contributes significantly to an understanding of all of these by documenting and interpreting the corporate patronage of an important Florentine musical repertory over a period of some 200 years. Because the companies were, in many respects, both a microcosm and characteristic manifestation of this remarkable Renaissance city, the author also seeks to explain how mendicant spirituality, guild society, and devotional images and imagination provide the essential context for understanding the function and significance of laudesi practice and repertoire.
