Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:A master musicologist's demonstration of thesurprisinginterrelationships between music and the intellectual history Book News Annotation:The late Palisca, who was a musicologist at Yale U., pulls together
many of his ideas in this set of eleven essays that relates music to
the larger realm of intellectual history. The work was finished by
Mathieson (history of music theory and literature, Indiana U.), who
revised and edited it when Palisca died in 2001 before its
completion. The essays consider music as a reflection of universal
harmony; sense, reason, and musical judgment; musical poetics; the
influence of humanism on modal and polyphonic theory; monody and
musical expression; music theory and science; the development of
ideas about style; the affections and musical imitation; and musical
rhetoric. Some of the material is based on earlier publications. The
appendix lists treatises that were cited in the text in chronological
order.
