Music in the German Renaissance

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, in the shaping of the curricula of musical education in the modern age, in setting patterns of musical patronage, in establishing congregational singing in church, and in developing commercial music printing. The essays shed new light on the music that flourished at imperial and ducal courts, universities, parish churches, collegiate schools, as well as in the homes of prosperous merchants. The volume thus provides an overview of German polyphonic music in the age of Gutenberg, Diirer, and Luther and documents the changing social status of music in Germany during a crucial epoch of its history.
