Joachim Burmeister's early seventeenth-century treatise on the making of music is generally acknowledged to be central to the understanding of Baroque musical practice: it was the first to systematically explore the connection between rhetoric and music that became a cornerstone of Baroque musical thought. This much-needed edition by Benito V. Rivera contains a critical transcription of the Latin text and an annotated translation on facing pages.

5.0 out of 5 stars
An Unparalleled Resource to Musical/Rhetorical Thought,
By L'Ottuso (Mantua, Italy) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Musical Poetics (Music Theory Translation Series) (Hardcover)
For any student of rhetoric/oratory and its most paramount importance within late Renaissance music, this resource will be indispensable. It is a window into the humanist philosophy rampant in the latter part sixteenth century, and an enlightening view of the German rationalism that pervaded all of Europe at that time.
