We are pleased to announce we are participating in the Conference Mapping the post-Tridentine motet as delegates, presenting a paper entitled “Canons regular in post-Tridentine musical landscape: Floriano Canale’s Sacrae cantiones of 1581”.

Falconio and O. Tigrini) and editorial strategies (as shown in prints’ frontispieces from the 1570-80s). Furthermore, we will argue that Canale’s Sacrae Cantiones of 1581 covered a central position within music publishing [...] Read more!»
