Joan Catoni Conlon: Performing Monteverdi: A Conductor's Guide

Through extensive analyses, performance suggestions and translations, Performing Monteverdi interprets the choral works of the well-known and highly influential Italian composer, Claudio Monteverdi, in the context of the performance practices of the renaissance. The work is an invaluable practical resource not only for conductors but for scholars and performers as well. In recognition of the foregoing, it was selected as the second title for the prestigious American Choral Directors Association research and Publications Committee Composer series. (386 pages.)
