What transforms the performance scripts written down by musicians into authored books? In this fascinating cultural history of Western music's adaptation to print, Kate van Orden looks at how musical authorship first developed through the medium of printing. When music printing began in the sixteenth century, publication did not always involve the composer: printers used the names of famous composers to market books that might include little or none of their music. Publishing sacred music could be career-building for a composer, while some types of popular song proved too light to support a reputation in print, no matter how quickly they sold. Van Orden addresses the complexities that arose for music and musicians in the burgeoning cultures of print, concluding that authoring books of polyphony gained only uneven cultural traction across a century in which composers were still first and foremost performers.Music printingHistory16th centuryMusic publishingHistory16th centuryMusic16th centuryHistory and criticism16th century.art.artists.beauty.classical music.composers.cultural history.dance.engaging.famous composers.history of music.music history.music printing.nobility.page turner.paintings.performance scripts.performers.performing arts.polyphony.publishing sacred music.renaissance period.retrospective.romance.romantic.royalty.western music.writers.Music printingHistoryMusic publishingHistoryMusicHistory and criticism.070.5/79409031MUS006000bisacshVan Orden Kate1637356MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910820750703321Music, authorship, and the book in the first century of print3979160UNINA
