Medieval & Renaissance music (c 1000 to c 1600); Baroque music (c 1600 to c 1750)

Series: Variorum Collected Studies

For more than three decades Richard Charteris has researched European music, sources and collections, focusing particularly on late Renaissance England, Germany and Italy.

This group of essays, many concerning previously unknown or unexplored works and materials, covers the 16th and early to mid 17th centuries.

The studies involve variously 'new' compositions, music manuscripts and editions, and documents that relate to figures such as the Italians Giovanni Gabrieli, Claudio Monteverdi and Alfonso Ferrabosco the Elder, the Germans Hans Leo Hassler and Adam Gumpelzhaimer, as well as the Englishmen John Coprario, John Dowland, John Jenkins, Henry Lawes, William Lawes, Peter Philips, and the French composer Marin Marais.

In addition, Charteris elucidates contemporary performance practice in relation to works by Gabrieli, investigates printed music editions that originated from the Church of St Anna, Augsburg, and evaluates materials in collections, inlcuding ones in Berlin, Hamburg, KrakÃ³w, London, Regensburg and Warsaw.

Reviews for Giovanni Gabrieli and His Contemporaries: Music, Sources and Collections

'Most musicians (especially brass players) and music students are familiar with some of the works by Giovanni Gabrieli and some aspects of his life, but few are aware of Gabrieli's impressive total output or of his influence on the development of compositional style in the early 17th century. Fortunately, Richard Charteris does. He has been working on Gabrieli for much of his life, and this book contains 11 superb essays on the subject that he published between 1975 and 2009... If you want to know more about Gabrieli, this would be a good book to own.' Early Music America 'The articles are the product of meticulous research.' The Consort
