Mirrors of Heaven or Worldly Theaters?: Venetian Nunneries and Their Music
Glixon, Jonathan E. (Professor of Music, Professor of Music, University of Kentucky)
Mirrors of Heaven or Worldly Theaters? Venetian Nunneries and Their Music is the first in-depth study of the dynamic role of musical rituals at Venetian convents in the Early Modern era, examining the nuns as patrons and performers, of both simple plainchant and complex sacred polyphony. The book also considers organs, bells, and musical and theatrical entertainment by and for the nuns.
