Giving due weight to sacred, secular, and instrumental genres, Freedman invites readers to consider who made music, who sponsored and listened to it, who preserved and owned it, and what social and aesthetic purposes it served. While focusing on broad themes such as music and the literary imagination and the art of improvisation, he also describes Europeans' musical encounters with other cultures and places.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eWestern Music in Context: A Norton History\u003c\/em\u003e comprises six volumes of moderate length, each written in an engaging style by a recognized expert. Authoritative and current, the series examines music in the broadest sense--as sounds notated, performed, and heard--focusing not only on composers and works, but also on broader social and intellectual currents.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WW Norton \u0026 Co","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45321221898391,"sku":"9780393929164","price":4881.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780393929164.webp?v=1769289272","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/music-in-the-renaissance-9780393929164","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
