If the focus there was primarily on archival documents, here it is on the actual music. The starting-point is similar - the rise of the 'new music' for solo voice and basso continuo in late sixteenth- and early seventeenth-century Florence, in particular the songs of Giulio Caccini. But it moves on to broader aesthetic issues crystallized in contemporary theoretical debate and musical practice - not least the rise of aria-based styles - and concludes with a series of studies of Claudio Monteverdi's works for the theatre, including the operas Il ritorno d'Ulisse in patria (1640) and the ever-problematic L'incoronazione di Poppea (1643).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46930834358423,"sku":"9780860788232","price":3185.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780860788232.webp?v=1771609349","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/monteverdi-and-his-contemporaries-9780860788232","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
