Summary: The court of Mantua, in northern Italy, was one of the most important centers of Italian music from the late fifteenth through the early seventeenth centuries, from the rise of the first written secular music of the Italian Renaissance through the time of Claudio Monteverdi. Based on newly uncovered documents, this collection of essays focuses on the beginnings of an active musical life there under the Marchesa Isabella d'Este (1474-1539) and her husband the Marchese Francesco Gonzaga (1466-1519). It considers the various genres of music at court-vocal, instrumental, sacred and seculartheir sources, the musicians at court, and the patronage of music by the ruling family. Particular emphasis is given to the frottola, the chief secular song of northern Italy, and to Isabella herself as important patron and avid performer.

First published in 1999, the essays that follow have been selected from the author’s writings to explore musical institutions in 15th and 16th century Italy with a detailed focus on the papal choir, but with additional comments on Mantua (Mantova), Florence and France. Much of the material which formed the basis of those essays was largely drawn from archives. Richard Sherr explores diverse areas including the Medici coat of arms in a motet for Leo X, performance practice in the papal chapel during the 16th century, the publications of Guglielmo Gonzaga, Lorenzo de’ Medici as a patron of music and homosexuality in late sixteenth-century Italy.

The extraordinary cultural Renaissance in the northern Italian courts of the late 15th and early 16th centuries is the subject of this volume. It starts with Baldessar Castiglione's Book of the Courtier (1528) which encapsulates this sense of renewal: his experiences at court and their subsequent rewriting form the backbone of the work. The author then addresses questions of biography, gender, genre, and the varied roles of the courtier, expanding the perspective of Castiglione's text to include the lives and writings of other courtiers and patrons. What was it like to be a courtier? What were the problems associated with such a lifestyle? The importance of women in court circles is also highlighted in studies of one of the most notable of female patrons Isabella d'Este (1474-1539) and of the theoretical developments in writing about gender, stimulated by such women. Stephen Kolsky's analysis of both well-known and comparatively obscure texts brings out the diversity of practices that constituted court society and their centrality to our understanding of the Renaissance.
