Transitions in Mid-Baroque Music : Style, Genre and Performance Hardback

Edited by Carrie Churnside

Hardback

Pre-Order

Description

Featuring 102 music examples, this edited collection features contributions by leading scholars from the UK, United States, Australasia and Europe on what characterized the period. This collection focusses on the stylistic and cultural interchange that characterizes the musical period of the mid-Baroque (c.1650-1710).

The idea of musical transition during this period is evident in two principal ways: geographical and chronological (the two often overlap).

Chapters examine geographical transition by tracing the exchange of regional and national styles, while considering chronological evolution from the perspective of music theory, performance practice, source studies or specific repertoires.

Studies range across instrumental and vocal music, both sacred and secular, and encompass some of the main European traditions prevalent at the time: Italian, German, French and English.

The collection features contributions by leading scholars from the UK, the United States, Australasia and Europe.
