- catalog abstract ""In this book, Massimo Ossi delves into the most significant aspect of Monteverdi's career: the development, during the first years of the seventeenth century, of a new compositional style he called the seconda prattica or "second manner." The principles of the seconda prattica, Ossi argues in this sophisticated analysis of Monteverdi's writings, music, and approaches to text-setting, were in fact much more significant to the course of Monteverdi's career than previously thought by modern scholars - not only did Monteverdi continue to pursue their aesthetic and theoretical implications for the rest of his life, but they also affected his dramatic compositions as well as his chamber vocal music and sacred works." "Ossi "divines the oracle" of Monteverdi's ambiguous theoretical concepts in a clear way both in terms of text and in that of pure music; his book will enhance our understanding of Monteverdi as one of the most significant figures in western music history."--Jacket.".
