- catalog abstract ""Nuns in seventeenth-century Sienese convents played a vital role in the musical culture of their community. Unlike their cloistered sisters in other urban centers, Sienese women enjoyed a significant degree of freedom to pursue musical activities. Through their performances of motets, Lamentations, plays, and even operas, Siena's nuns engaged the lay public and won the support of ecclesiastical authorities; furthermore, their music came to be seen as an important symbolic expression of Sienese civic society." "Holy Concord within Sacred Walls consists of seven interlocking essays. The first two furnish an overview of history and musical practices, and each of the last five focuses on a particular liturgical rite, devotional work, or musical genre. The essays are bound together by a more general discussion of cloistered women's role in cultural production and social hierarchies." "This two-tiered approach makes the book of compelling interest to scholars of women's studies and Italian culture and history as well as to musicologists."--Jacket.".
