Event

The Music Department, the Center for Italian Studies, and the Kislak Center for Special Collections, Rare Books and Manuscripts, present the digital edition of the secular music of Luca Marenzio (1553-1559), one of the most important composers of the European Renaissance who set to music poetry by Petrarch, Tasso, Bembo, Sannazaro, and others.

 

 

Under development by an international team of scholars from the US and Europe, MODE is changing music scholarship by introducing a new model for generating and disseminating modern editions of traditional Western musical repertoires that integrates musical philology and digital technology.
