The Empire Resounds: Music in the Days of Charles V FREE DOWNLOAD
The era of Charles V, a monarch who continually surrounded himself with
music for a wide variety of occasions, is an ideal period for exploring
polyphony in its proper context. This publication aims to make clear the
contributions between this music and its historical context. The
various contributions show that polyphony was anything but
other-worldly. The humanist values, including the idea of music as a
means of expression, gradually took over the medieval construct of
polyphony, ultimately shaking its very foundations.
