Music of the Renaissance
«“Music of the Renaissance is a fascinating discourse on the cultural and aesthetic relationships that characterize musical thought and practice from roughly the fifteenth to the seventeenth centuries. …It is a brilliant piece of work that packs a world of information into a relatively slim volume. Highly recommended.”»
Journal of the Anglican Association of Musicians
Where previous accounts of the Renaissance have not fully acknowledged the role that music played in this decisive period of cultural history, Laurenz Lutteken merges historical music analysis with the analysis of the other arts to provide a richer context for the emergence and evolution of creative cultures across civilizations.

Journal of the Anglican Association of Musicians
"The vast scope of the study and the short length of the book mean that we are presented with various tantalizing snapshots of a rich musical culture that connects more broadly with the liberal arts."
European History Quarterly
"Unlike traditional histories of music IN the Renaissance, this stud of music OF the Renaissance eschews the detailed and comprehensive examination of the oeuvres of individual composers, the development of different genres and the identification of musical styles in favour of attempting to understand how musical production and practice "fits" or meshes with general artistic expression and tendencies of the period. . . . Music of the Renaissance is highly recommended reading for anyone with an interest in cultural creativity and activity in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries."
