"The polyphonic lauda had its place of prominence in the lay devotional confraternities in Italian cities in the late Middle Ages and the early modern period. A main theme of this volume is the influence of art music in devotional contexts dominated by ritual functionality, where a modern aesthetic perspective is rarely employed. The authors raise fundamental questions about the validity of such a distinction between functional simplicity and aesthetic sensibility, where the latter is usually reserved for advanced, secular genres such as opera and the madrigal."--BOOK JACKET.Ostrem, E. is the author of 'Medieval Ritual And Early Modern Music The Devotional Practice of Lauda Singing in Late-renaissance Italy', published 2007 under ISBN 9782503520667 and ISBN 2503520669.
