The Flower of Paradise: Marian Devotion and Secular Song in Medieval and Renaissance Music
Rothenberg, David J. (Assistant Professor of Music, Assistant Professor of Music, Case Western Reserve University)
In spite of their widely disparate uses, Marian prayers and courtly love songs from the Middle Ages and Renaissance often show a stylistic similarity. This book examines the convergence of these two styles in polyphonic music and its broader poetic, artistic, and devotional context from c.1200-c.1500.
