O Let Us Howle Some Heavy Note - Music for Witches, Melancholic, Mad on Seventeenth Century English

Informationen zum Autor Amanda Eubanks Winkler Klappentext Using theater music to examine narratives of social history, Winkler demonstrates how music reinscribed and often resisted conservative, political, religious, gender, and social ideologies. Zusammenfassung In the 17th century, harmonious sounds were thought to represent the well-ordered body of the obedient subject. This book focuses on the various ways that theatrical music represented disorderly subjects - those who presented either a direct or metaphorical threat to the health of the English kingdom in 17th-century England.
