Singing to the Lyre is the first comprehensive study of this ubiquitous practice, which was cultivated by performers ranging from popes, princes, and many artists, to professionals of both mercantile and humanist background. Common to all was a strong degree of mixed orality based on a synergy between writing and the oral operations of memory, improvisation, and performance. As a cultural practice deeply rooted in language and supported by ancient precedent, cantare ad lyram (singing to the lyre) is also a reflection of Renaissance cultural priorities, including the status of vernacular poetry, the study and practice of rhetoric, the oral foundations of humanist education, and the performative culture of the courts reflected in theatrical presentations and Castiglione's Il cortegiano"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Vocal music $z Italy $y 15th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Vocal music $z Italy $y 500-1400 $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Italian poetry $y 15th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Italian poetry $y To 1400 $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Folk poetry, Italian $x History and criticism. 651 0 $a Italy $x Civilization $y 1268-1559. 650 0 $a Humanism $z Italy. 650 7 $a Civilization. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00862898 650 7 $a Folk poetry, Italian. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00929535 650 7 $a Humanism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00963520 650 7 $a Italian poetry. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00980715 650 7 $a Vocal music. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01168379 651 7 $a Italy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204565 648 7 $a To 1559 $2 fast 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 776 08 $i Online version: $a Wilson, Blake, 1952- $t Singing to the lyre in renaissance italy $b 1. $d New York : Cambridge University Press, 2019. $z 9781108768887 $w (DLC) 2019028594 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317014821.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C852F0EE68DD11EA9C5A9E4D97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
