In this book, Andrew Dell'Antonio looks at a related phenomenon: the rise of a cultivated audience whose skill involved listening rather than playing or singing. Drawing from contemporaneous discourses and other commentaries on music, the visual arts, and Church doctrine, Dell'Antonio links the new ideas about cultivated listening with other intellectual trends of the period: humanistic learning, contemplative listening (or watching) as an active spiritual practice, and musical mysticism as an ideal promoted by the Church as part of the Catholic Reformation.MusicItaly17th centuryHistory and criticismElectronic books.MusicHistory and criticism.781.1/70945Dell'Antonio Andrew1039123MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910456823903321Listening as spiritual practice in early modern Italy2469716UNINA
