history of Renaissance music told through 100 artefacts, revealing their witness to the priorities and activities of people in the past as they addressed their world through music. SUBJECT(S) Renaissance Music (c. 1400-1600) Material culture Renaissance art history REVIEW(S) "Like a veritable pop-up book, The Museum of Renaissance Music surprises its readers with the multidimensional quality of its content. Presenting a hundred diverse objects organized in different themed rooms, Borghetti and Shephard?s volume offers readers the experience of walking through an imaginary museum where objects ?speak out? their complex web of allusion connecting texts, images and sounds. A veritable tour de force, this book brings history, art history, and musicology together to highlight the pervasive nature of music in Renaissance culture, and does so in a direct and effective manner that can be enjoyed by experts and amateurs alike." Martina Bagnoli, Gallerie Estensi, Modena "With imaginative verve, The Museum of Renaissance Music contributes to a current explosion of material studies whose cacophony remakes our understanding of the Renaissance via ?history by collage,? in this case understanding Renaissance musicking through the spatial affordances of the gallery with its multitude of ?rooms? (travels, psalters, domestic objects, instruments, and much more), rather than through the traditional edited collection. The results are mesmerizing, indispensable." Martha Feldman, University of Chicago "This imaginary museum of Renaissance music, through a collection of one hundred exhibits, returns a proper share of sonority to objects, images, artworks and spaces. A fascinating reference book, offering a transformative vision of music in Renaissance culture, from domestic space to the global dimension." Diane Bodart, Columbia University, New York "The high-quality reproductions together with the knowledgeable commentaries are a treat for the eyes and mind of the reader. An entirely new type of music history book, this wonderful volume will appeal to scholars, music lovers, and students alike." Melanie Wald-Fuhrmann, Max Planck Institute for Empirical Aesthetics, Frankfurt BIO Vincenzo Borghetti is Associate Professor of Music History at the University of Verona. He holds a doctorate in musicology from the University of Pavia-Cremona and in 2007?08 was a fellow of Villa I Tatti, The Harvard University Center for Renaissance Italian Studies in Florence. His research interests are centred on Renaissance polyphony and opera. His essays and articles have appeared in Early Music History, Acta musicologica, Journal of the Alamire Foundation, and Imago Musicae, among other journals, and in several edited collections. In 2019 he was elected to the Academia Europaea. Tim Shephard is Professor of Musicology at the University of Sheffield. He is the co-author of Music in the Art of Renaissance Italy (Harvey Miller, 2020), as well as numerous other books and essays on Italian musical culture in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. He currently leads the project ?Sounding the Bookshelf 1501: Musical Knowledge in a Year of Italian Printed Books?, funded by the Leverhulme Trust. SUMMARY This book collates 100 exhibits with accompanying essays as an imaginary museum dedicated to the musical cultures of Renaissance Europe, at home and in its global horizons. It is a history through artefacts?materials, tools, instruments, art objects, images, texts, and spaces?and their witness to the priorities and activities of people in the past as they addressed their world through music. The result is a history by collage, revealing overlapping musical practices and meanings?not only those of the elite, but reflecting the everyday cacophony of a diverse culture and its musics. Through the lens of its exhibits, this museum surveys music?s central role in culture and lived experience in fifteenth- and sixteenth-century Europe, offering interest and insights well beyond the strictly musicological field.

Summary Storie di una chanson is the first book-length study of Fors seulement and its reworkings. It offers a major interdisciplinary study of the phenomenon of polyphonic reworkings. It explores its subject matter through the lenses of musicology, literary history and theory, art history, medieval and early modern political thought, and theology. The book includes many detailed analyses of music and music manuscripts, and presents a new methodology for analysing and interpreting Renaissance polyphony and its media. Questo libro ricostruisce la storia del rondeau polifonico Fors seulement l'actente que je meure di Johannes Okeghem e delle sue numerose rielaborazioni che circolarono nei manoscritti e nelle stampe musicali tra il 1470 e il 1540 circa. Al centro dell'attenzione di molti dei principali compositori dell'epoca (Obrecht, La Rue, Févin, Pipelare, Verdelot, Willaert, oltre, naturalmente, allo stesso Okeghem) nonché di committenti, collezionisti e lettori, Fors seulement diede origine a un'ingente quantità di musica che abbraccia gran parte delle forme e dei generi musicali praticati tra il XV e il XVI secolo (messe, mottetti, chansons), godendo così di una fortuna e una durata forse ineguagliata nella musica del periodo. Il volume ripercorre questa storia soffermandosi non solo sulle caratteristiche tecniche delle composizioni, ma anche sul loro contesto, sui media cui sono state consegnate e sui significati che assunse per chi le ha commissionate, copiate, usate, ascoltate. Questo libro prende in esame anche la tradizione storiografica su Fors seulement, analizzando come come è stata scritta la storia di questo rondeau e delle sue rielaborazioni, e interrogandosi sulle idee che questa storia hanno sostenuto e che ne hanno garantito la longevità negli studi musicologici a partire dalla metà del XIX secolo fino ai giorni nostri.
