This book provides new dimensions to the discussion of the immense corpus of polyphonic motets produced in the decades following the end of the Council of Trent in 1563. By analysing the repertoire itself, but also by studying its material life and its contemporary reception, these fourteen chapters redefine the cultural role of the genre.
