Bøger af Frank A. D'Accone

Based principally on the documentary evidence, this second selection of studies by Frank D'Accone follows the development through the mid 16th century of musical chapels at the Cathedral and the Baptistery of Florence and of musical establishments at the Santissima Annunziata and San Lorenzo.

Sets the background for the musical efflorescence that occurred in Florence in the later 15th century and the emergence in the early 16th century of a new Florentine school of composers. This work examines the effect of Medici patronage and the impact of Savonarola, and also the careers of individual composers such as Heinrich Isaac.
