Opis

Though many have written on the musical achievements of the Franco-Flemish school, this book is the first to show how the artists and composers of Bruges worked side by side to shape their acoustic and visual environment and to express their fellow citizens' spiritual needs in art. By combining the methods of modern musicology with those of local historiography, Strohm vividly recreates the music of 14th- and 15th-century Flanders in its socioeconomic context, from the pageants and minstrelsy of the court to popular entertainments and the earliest public concerts.
