ReviewsNumerous details of design and presentation attest to the author's practical experience in teaching this material. Important terms are presented in boldface type and glossed on their first appearance, and there is unapologetic review and recapitulation of central ideas at several points in the text ... The choice of works that Schulenberg singles out for discussion in the text and for inclusion in his anthology is particularly thoughtful., "[This text's] clear presentation of material makes the subject approachable to students at all levels."--Fernando Jimenez, Western Connecticut State University, "[This text's] clear presentation of material makes the subjectapproachable to students at all levels."--Fernando Jimenez, Western ConnecticutState University, "Schulenberg has done a magnificent job of tying together the many threads in the epoch we call Baroque. I particularly appreciate his discussion of text sources and performance issues in the anthology."--Alma Espinosa, University of Massachusetts-Lowell, One of the book's most carefully considered features is its use of illustrations ... Some of the illustrations provide period flavour, but most are extraordinarily well integrated with the main text ., 1. Introduction 2. A Sixteenth-Century Prologue: Motet and Madrigal 3.

A Mid-Eighteenth Century Epilogue: the Galant Style, David Schulenberg's Music of the Baroque provides an extraordinarily well-conceived textbook and anthology for the so-called period survey course, with very clear organization and sensible, though largely traditional, choices concerning coverage ... The text is not only lucidly and engagingly written but also evinces Schulenberg's considerable experience as teacher and scholar., Schulenberg's sympathies are wide, if not always evenly spread ... and his many enthusiasms make for lively reading., "Schulenberg has done a magnificent job of tying together the many threadsin the epoch we call Baroque. I particularly appreciate his discussion of textsources and performance issues in the anthology."--Alma Espinosa, University ofMassachusetts-Lowell, There is considerable emphasis on performative aspects of music, evident most notably in the extensive treatment of performance practice, a feature that will endear this book to instructors in conservatories and schools of music ... extraordinarily well-executed account of the Baroque, distinguished especially by its skilful incorporation of performance practice and the rather more extensive treatments of individual works than is customary.

SynopsisAn ideal instructional package for courses in music history and literature, Music of the Baroque and its accompanying anthology of scores offer a lively and detailed introduction to European music from 1600 through 1750. In contrast to other texts in this area, Music of the Baroque provides a more integrated presentation of Baroque music and its performance practices and place in society. Engaging and accessible, this unique text features an in-depth examination of over forty selected musical compositions. It discusses selected works from the principal traditions of the period, emphasizing their distinctive features and placing them within their larger historical contexts. Close analysis of individual works is enriched by material on the social and cultural context of the music, the biographies of representative musicians, and developments in musical style and performance practice. Music of the Baroque considers representative examples of both instrumental and vocal works, sacred as well as secular. Offering models for musical criticism and analysis in a variety of compositional styles, the book also provides substantial discussions of original instrumentation and historical performance practices for many works. Schulenberg analyzes familiar works like Monteverdi's Orfeo and a Bach cantata and also discusses lesser-known compositions, including works by Barbara Strozzi and Elisabeth-Claude Jacquet de La Guerre. The opening chapter on late Renaissance and the closing chapter on galant music provide bridges to earlier and later periods of European music history. Features * Focuses on many individual works whose scores are included in the accompanying anthology * Analyzes compositions in depth while also placing them within their historical and cultural contexts * Pays special attention to historical performance practice * Recognizes the role of women both as composers and as performers * Balances current perspectives on Baroque music with more traditional views * Incorporates numerous pedagogical aids including: * synopses of operatic works * biographical timelines for major composers * numerous illustrations, musical examples, and analytical tables * highlighting and explanations of technical terms upon first appearance * carefully formulated definitions of each new concept Designed for undergraduate and graduate students, Music of the Baroque is also essential reading for anyone who desires an up-to-date introduction to the serious study of Baroque music., This textbook on European music between 1600 and 1750 discusses the principal musical traditions of the period and analyzes representatives works, placing them within their larger historical context. Among the issues receiving special consideration are performance practice, musical rhetoric, and the role of women as both composers and performers. An accompanying anthology of scores contains new editions of many of the works discussed.
