Motetten im Zeitalter der Konfessionalisierung.
Until being appointed imperial bandmaster (kaiserlicher Hofkapellmeister) at the court of Maximilian II in the spring of 1568, Philippe de Monte (1521-1603) primarily composed secular works. At that time, only one motet was available in print. Only when he began his employment at the imperial court did de Monte’s intensive and prolific preoccupation with the motet begin. This lasted beyond Maximilian’s death, and into the reign of his successor, Rudolf II. During his employment for both emperors, de Monte composed around 250 motets. This study offers for the first time a comprehensive survey of the sources, texts and functions as well as the musical form and structure of these works. What is particularly fascinating about this glimpse into the age of confessionalism, is the fact that de Monte composed almost all his motets during his employment for two emperors who could not have been more different with respect to character, political strategy, cultural interest and religious attitude. German text.
