    "description": "The societal dimension of music in urban life in the late seventeenth and eighteenth centuries\r\nAlthough early modern urban musical life has been the object of investigation with several researchers, little is known about the ways in which musical cultures were integrated within their broader urban environments. Building upon recent trends within urban musicology, the authors of this volume aim to transcend descriptive overviews of institutions and actors involved with music within a given city. Instead, they consider the urban environment as the constitutive context for music making, and music as a significant aspect of urban society and identity.\r\n\r\nThrough selected case studies and by focusing on three \u2018musical circuits\u2019\u2014opera and theatre music, sacred music, and secular songs\u2014this book contributes to a more effective understanding of music in late seventeenth- and eighteenth-century urban societies in the southern Netherlands and beyond.  Musicological and historical research perspectives are fruitfully integrated, as well as insights from theatre scholarship and literary criticism. With attention to the musical life behind the traditional institutions, the circulation of repertoires, and musical cultures in peripheral urban environments or in cities \u2018in decay\u2019, \u2018Music and the City\u2019 sheds new light on the societal dimension of music in urban life.\r\n\r\nContributors:\r\nBruno Blond\u00e9 (University of Antwerp), Timothy De Paepe (University of Antwerp), Rudolf Rasch (Utrecht University), Bruno Forment (Free University Brussels \u2013 Ghent University), Stefanie Beghein (University of Antwerp), Eugeen Schreurs (Artesis University College Antwerp, Royal Conservatory), Tanya Kevorkian (Millersville University), Anne-Madeleine Goulet (\u00c9cole fran\u00e7aise de Rome), Louis P.
