Description

Explore the deep historical roots of a unique musical form with this scholarly collection from Routledge. This volume examines the origins of the canzone villanesca alla napolitana, a genre that first appeared in a Naples publication on October 24, 1537. Published by Johannes de Colonia, the original anthology featured fifteen anonymous rustic songs that bridged the gap between everyday lyrical traditions and formal poetry. This collection of articles provides a detailed look at the social and cultural contexts that shaped these Neapolitan songs. Readers will learn how the term villanesca, derived from the word for peasant, reflects the influence of instinctive folk traditions on professional poet-musicians. Whether you are a student of classical music history or a researcher interested in Neapolitan culture, this book offers a comprehensive look at how these rustic melodies transitioned into a recognized musical style.
