9781611472066 / Monteverdi in Venice Hardcover – March 1, 2001
by Fairleigh Dickinson University Press (March 1, 2001) (Author)
Monteverdi in Venice tells the story of Monteverdi’s arrival in Venice and his thirty years of continuous work there as Director of Music at St. Marks. Todays fads and fashions produce odd distortions of Monteverdi’s musical habits. His vocal works, meant to be performed one voice to a part, are consistently given by massed choirs. For decades conductors and their audiences have swallowed the false theory that his music should be transposed, although there is no need to do so. This book describes and solves these problems, allowing the composer to shine through layers of pseudo-musicological varnish that has obscured a large part of his message.
