| Abstract |
This book provides the first comprehensive study of musical life in Lyons at a time when the city was a leading European commercial and cultural centre. It surveys the vast repertoire of music copied and published in the city, relating it to social, political, economic, intellectual, and religious life. The great wealth of the city's literature is investigated for references which provide testimony to the musical attitudes and activities of resident or visiting patrons and amateurs. The surviving archives are similarly probed for evidence of the role of music and musicians in the public and private lives of the citizens, great and small. |
