by Allan W. Atlas
- 3 Want to read
Renaissance Music, a textbook for today's classroom, focuses first and foremost on the music, then on the social, political, and economic forces that combined to produce it. Readers are immediately drawn into the subject through Professor Atlas's vivid, energetic writing. Atlas addresses the student directly, in language that is clear and understandable even when it treats complex topics such as isorhythm and hexachords.
Renaissance Music is sensibly organized, avoiding the "great composer" approach. Most chapters are devoted to musical genres; others center on specific geographical areas or on categories such as patronage, music theory, and music printing. Like all the books in Norton's Introduction to Music History series, this text includes bibliographies and incorporates the latest scholarship in the field.
