Interpreting Historicism in Nineteenth-Century Music
The book delves into the resurgence of sixteenth-century music during the nineteenth century in Germany, highlighting the significant impact of Palestrina's works. It examines how this revival influenced contemporary musical thought and practice, shedding light on the cultural and historical contexts that shaped the appreciation of Renaissance music in a new era. Through detailed analysis, it uncovers the connections between past and present musical traditions.
James Garratt explores the revival of sixteenth-century music in nineteenth-century Germany, focusing on the reception of Palestrina by critics, historians, performers and composers. It demonstrates that the Palestrina revival was just as significant for nineteenth-century culture as parallel movements in the other arts, and is the first book in English on this topic. It is of relevance to scholars, students and devotees of nineteenth-century music, as well as those with interests in nineteenth-century culture, art, architecture, literature and aesthetics, the history of church music and the early music revival.
