Description

Susan McClary's groundbreaking study explores the Italian madrigal, a genre that revolutionized European music in the Renaissance. This innovative book delves into the musical representations of emotions, desire, and complex interiorities that defined the madrigal, shedding light on the history of Western subjectivity. By focusing on the music itself, McClary reveals the sophisticated allegorical structures characteristic of the madrigal, unraveling its intricate meanings. The result is a pathbreaking analysis that offers insights into a culture through its nonverbal artistic enterprises. This book provides a unique perspective on the Italian madrigal, spanning sixteenth-century polyphonic music from Philippe Verdelot's early settings to Carlo Gesualdo's chromatic experiments.
