What did listeners and creators want from music in the Renaissance? How were the forms and meanings of music shaped by the social, political, and technological transformations of the time? Music was put to many uses in this epoch: as an instrument of power in a changing political order; as an aid to religious and philosophical speculation; and as a tool for constructing emotional communities and regimes. And music itself was transformed, both by new technologies, such as print, and by the expansion of travel and trade.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 6 volume set of the \u003ci\u003eCultural History of Western Music\u003c\/i\u003e presents the first comprehensive history from classical antiquity to today, covering all forms and aspects of music and its ever-changing social context.
