Singing Dante : The Literary Origins Of Cinquecento Monody.

Around 1580, Vincenzo Galilei made a presentation to the Florentine Camerata regarding stile recitativo, chosing an excerpt from The Divine Comedy as his text. This book studies the perception of Dante's poetry in the 16th century, and discusses what this can teach us about the development of vocal musical style during this period. With a preface, appendix, bibliography, and index.
