TY - JOUR AU - Marshall, Melanie L. AB - These bibliographical and presentational caveats detract minimally from the overall success of the two volumes, but they are not insignificant in the context of a series purporting to `follow currently accepted practices for the publication of early modern texts'. Clear reference to the copy or copies, whether in print or manuscript, used as the basis for an edition is one of the most fundamental of those practices, and would greatly enhance the value of future contributions to this series. doi:10.1093/em/cal004 Melanie L. Marshall Cecilia Luzzi, Poesia e musica nei madrigali a cinque voci di Filippo Di Monte (1580­1595) (Florence: Olschki, 2003), d40 Luzzi opens her introduction with two undeniable assertions: Philippe de Monte was the most prolific madrigal composer of the 16th century, and he has been comparatively little studied, a situation that is not aided by the absence of a comprehensive modern edition. Luzzi's own contribution to Monte studies is to document his shift from a `serious' madrigal style prior to 1586, to a `lighter' canzonetta-madrigal style (1586­1590) and on to a synthesis of the two (1592­95), and to provide editions of 20 five-voice madrigals; of these 20, two have already been edited by Brian Mann in TI - The poetry of Monte's madrigals JF - Early Music DO - 10.1093/em/cal006 DA - 2006-05-01 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/oxford-university-press/the-poetry-of-monte-s-madrigals-C1TzT6mZWN SP - 292 EP - 293 VL - 34 IS - 2 DP - DeepDyve ER -
