Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jane A. Bernstein presents the first broad study of the cultures of music and the book in Rome during the Renaissance and Post-Tridentine periods. Emphasizing the exceptionalism of Roman music publishing, she highlights innovative technologies, milestone publications, and the close connection between musical repertories and the materiality of the book. She also analyzes the Church's predominant influence on the industry and, in turn, the impact of the Roman press on such important composers as Palestrina, Marenzio, Victoria, and Cavalieri.
