About the book<\/strong><\/p>\n

Each work is discussed not only as a representative of a particular historical tradition but as an individual response by its composer to a verbal text or an expressive aspiration. Hence the book offers models for both musical criticism and analysis in a variety of compositional styles; in addition, it provides substantial discussions of original instrumentation and performance practices for many works. Works discussed include such familiar ones as Monteverdi\u2019s\u00a0Orfeo\u00a0<\/i>and a Bach Brandenburg Concerto, as well as lesser-known compositions, including several by women composers. In addition, opening and closing chapters on late-Renaissance and galant music provide bridges to earlier and later periods of European music history. Aids for students and teachers include synopses of operatic works, biographical timelines for major composers, an annotated bibliography, and numerous illustrations, musical examples, and analytical tables. Technical terms are highlighted at their first mention in the text, which includes carefully formulated definitions of each new concept. The accompanying volume presents reliable scores of more than thirty works, most of them in editions prepared exclusively for this anthology, which also includes new translations of the texts of all vocal compositions, as well as commentary on sources, editorial issues, notation, and performance practices.<\/p>\n

The complete text of both volumes has been thoroughly revised and updated, incorporating current biographical and bibliographical information that reflects the latest scholarship. The third edition of the textbook offers new \u201cboxes\u201d or sidebars on topics of current interest, including discussions of women in Baroque music, relationships between music and society, and notable contemporary writings on and by major figures such as Bach and Couperin. The anthology offers new or expanded selections of works by Cavalli (the opera\u00a0Calisto<\/i>), Carissimi, Charpentier, Alessandro Scarlatti, Jacquet de La Guerre, and Rameau. Works from previous editions that are no longer in the anthology are represented in the textbook by new examples;\u00a0their complete scores and texts (with translations) are online here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
