Spanish Cathedral Music in the Golden Age (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781258638627)

""Spanish Cathedral Music In The Golden Age"" by Robert Murrell Stevenson is a comprehensive study of the music that was performed in Spanish cathedrals during the 16th and 17th centuries, which is widely considered to be the Golden Age of Spanish music. The book provides an in-depth look at the composers, musicians, and music that were integral to the development of this period, including the use of polyphony, the influence of the Counter-Reformation, and the role of the choir in religious services. The author also explores the social and political context in which this music was created, and how it reflected the cultural and religious values of the time. The book is based on extensive research and analysis of primary sources, including musical manuscripts, archival documents, and contemporary accounts. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of music, Spanish culture, or the role of music in religious expression.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
