{"product_id":"fugue-in-the-sixteenth-century","title":"Fugue in the Sixteenth Century","description":"\u003cp\u003eExamining the roots of the classical fugue and the early history of non-canonic fugal writing, Paul Walker's Fugue in the Sixteenth Century explores the three principal fugal genres of the period: motet, ricercar, and canonza. The volume treats each genre in turn, tracing the fugue's development throughout the century and highlighting important moments and trends along the way. Taking a two-tiered approach, Walker, on one level, examines fugue from the\n\u003cbr\u003eperspective of contemporary musicians, and on another level, takes into account fugue's later history and the elements that came to play a significant role in its formation.Walker is the first\n\u003cbr\u003escholar to successfully tie together the various strands of the \"pre-Bach fugue\" thanks to the growing availability of editions of the repertories involved. He also takes account of recent work elucidating the change in compositional approach around 1500 from a basis in cantus firmus and canon to one favoring non-canonical, fugal imitation. Featuring well-chosen musical examples to illustrate the compositional developments of the sixteenth century, Fugue in the Sixteenth Century is a\n\u003cbr\u003edefinitive study for both specialist musicologists and organists and harpsichordists alike.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46058706501870,"sku":"9780190056193","price":170.2,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9780190056193.jpg?v=1736481105","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/fugue-in-the-sixteenth-century","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
