This book unpicks the complex dynamics of Renaissance polyphonic music, a style that emerged, blossomed, and diffused throughout Europe during the 15th and 16th centuries. The author traces the music's evolution, from its emergence in Northern France in the later Middle Ages, through the period of its highest expression in the works of Josquin and his successors, to its later developments in the complex polychoral works of the late 16th and early 17th centuries. The author argues that this music was not merely an abstract exercise in theory, but a potent symbol of the political, social, and intellectual changes that were shaping the early modern world. Exploring the profound intellectual and creative forces at work in this period of transformative change, the author illuminates the hidden narratives embedded in the music's harmonies and melodies.
