Claudio Monteverdi is one of the most important figures of
''early'' music, a composer whose music speaks powerfully and
directly to modern audiences. This book provides an up-to-date and
authoritative treatment of Monteverdi and his music, complementing
Paolo Fabbri''s standard biography of the composer. Written by
leading specialists in the field, it is aimed at students,
performers and music-lovers in general and adds significantly to
our understanding of Monteverdi''s music, his life, and the contexts
in which he worked. Chapters offering overviews of his output of
sacred, secular and dramatic music are complemented by ''intermedi'',
in which contributors examine individual works, or sections of
works in detail. The book draws extensively on Monteverdi''s letters
and includes a select discographyvideography and a complete list
of Monteverdi''s works together with an index of first lines and
titles.
