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; first published in 2007; provides an authoritative treatment of Monteverdi and his music; complementing Paolo Fabbris 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 Monteverdis 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 Monteverdis letters and includes a select discography/videography and a complete list of Monteverdis works together with an index of first lines and titles.
