Short description:
Focusing on the royal chapel established by Philip II in Madrid, the essays in this richly illustrated volume offer a series of different perspectives on the development of the main court chapels of Europe.
MoreLong description:
English version edited by Tess Knighton The royal chapel, in Europe as a whole and in Spain in particular, was a cultural institution where court ceremonial, politics, music and the arts were brought together in terms of space and function. The ramifications for the patronage and cultivation of the arts and the dynamic between music and the arts and the concept of kingship form the focus of the text.
The phenomenon of groupings of singers, chaplains and musicians at the service of the different European monarchies is of great significance both for the history of music, and the political and cultural history of the court in general. The royal chapel established by Philip II in Madrid was the central religious and musical institution of royal power until well into the eighteenth century, and using this as a focus, the essays in this richly illustrated volume offer a series of different perspectives on the development of the main court chapels of Europe.
These papers were delivered at the international seminar, 'La Real Capilla de Palacio en la &&&233;poca de los Austrias', under the auspices of the Fundaci&&&243;n Carlos de Amberes, Madrid from 14 to 16 December, 2000.
The volume is edited by Tess Knighton, Juan Jos&&&233; Carreras and Bernardo Garc&&&237;a Garc&&&237;a, and translated by Yolanda Acker.
