Meer over het boek

With Passionate Voice gives modern singers of Renaissance music the tools to learn and master the art of "re-creative singing." Providing a much-needed historically-informed perspective, author Robert Toft discusses the music of composers ranging from Marchetto Cara to John Dowland in the context of late Renaissance rhetoric, modal theory, and performance traditions.
