Music in Renaissance Italy; music and early modern visual culture; music in early modern Europe; the history of opera; the life and works of Claudio Monteverdi; music and astrology, astronomy and philosophy
I will be researching the critical reception of Claudio Monteverdi in the time of his first audiences (c.1600-1700), in order to elucidate his impact upon, and position within the history of music. Focussing on a collection of case studies, which will address both key topics and large gaps in Monteverdian musicology, I will provide a more pragmatic picture of how Monteverdi and his works were received. My supervisor is Professor Christian Leitmeir (Faculty of Music).
