It addresses the city’s institutions (churches, confraternities, and academies) against the background of public and private occasions of music making. Supported by a generous collection of archival, literary, and iconographical sources, it treats both ceremonial life in the Serenissima and private forms of patronage. The Companion also addresses the dense web of musical activity (from chapel masters and singers to instrumentalists and instrument makers to music printers and theorists) and the rich variety of styles and musical genres (the frottola, the madrigal, motets and masses, instrumental music, polychoral music, Venetian-language polyphony), broadening the geographical perspective beyond the Veneto to Istria and Dalmatia.

A Venezia la musica risuonava in tutti i suoi sestieri grazie alla quantità di chiese, conventi, confraternite, saloni di palazzi nobiliari e accademie, e agli stampatori e ai costruttori di strumenti musicali attivi nella città lagunare.\" - Paolo Scarnecchia on http:\/\/www.giornaledellamusica.it\/dischi\/riscoprire-la-musica-di-giovanni-croce.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContents  Acknowledgements List of Figures List of Tables List of Music Examples Abbreviations Contributors  Introduction: Mapping Musical Life in Cinquecento Venice  Katelijne Schiltz  Part 1: Musical Institutions 1 San Marco  Giulio M.
