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 criticism17th century italy.17th century music.accademia.ancient roman history.ancient rome culture.ancient theology.aristocratic music.baroque culture.catholic reformation.catholicism and italy.catholicism and music.classical music.cultural studies.european history.european music.european visual arts.history of music.history of opera.history of religion.history of visual arts.italian history.music and religion.music appreciation.music.musicology.performing arts.post tridentine rome.renaissance culture.MusicHistory and criticism.781.1/70945Dell'Antonio Andrew1484897MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910781216103321Listening as spiritual practice in early modern Italy3757307UNINA
