Music in the German Renaissance
This 1994 collection of fourteen essays, written by an eminent group of scholars, explores the musical culture of the German-speaking realm between c.1450 and 1600. The essays demonstrate the important role played by German speakers in the development of instrumental music in the Renaissance, the shaping of the curricula of musical education in the modern age, in setting patterns of musical patronage, in establishing congregational singing in churches, and in developing commercial music printing. The essays shed light on the music that flourished at Imperial and ducal courts, universities, parish churches, collegiate schools, as well as the homes of prosperous merchants. The volume thus provides an overview of German polyphonic music in the age of Gutenberg, Dürer and Luther and documents the changing social status of music in Germany during a crucial epoch of its history.
Editing Music in Early Modern Germany
Editing Music in Early Modern Germany argues that editors played a critical role in the transmission and reception of Italian music outside Italy. Like their counterparts in the world of classical learning, Renaissance music editors translated texts and reworked settings from Venetian publications, adapting them to the needs of northern audiences. Their role is most evident in the emergence of the anthology as the primary vehicle for the distribution of madrigals outside Italy. As a publication type that depended upon the judicious selection and presentation of material, the anthology showcased editorial work. Anthologies offer a valuable case study for examining the impact of editorial deci...

Die deutschsprachige weltliche Liedkultur um 1600
Weitreichende Veränderungen in Dichtung und Musik zeichnen sich um 1600 ab. Lyrik und Lied lassen sich kaum trennen, da die Lyrik dieser Zeit meist sangbar ist und entscheidend durch das weltliche Lied beeinflusst wird. Der maßgebliche Beitrag, den das Lied zum ästhetischen Wandel, zur Modernisierung und Europäisierung der deutschsprachigen Lyrik leistet, wird anhand von etwa 5200 Liedern in 340 Lieddrucken zwischen 1567 und 1642 herausgearbeitet. Vor dem Hintergrund dieses Quellenkorpus werden in der interdisziplinären Studie Einzellieder und Liedsammlungen aus dem deutschsprachigen Raum musik- und literaturwissenschaftlich analysiert. Neben sozial- und gesellschaftswissenschaftlichen ...
