RE: Rhetoric and rhetorical figures in music from the 17th century (Part 2)
I'm enamored with the idea of rhetorical devices in music. My composition teacher is currently writing a book collecting examples in classical music of each device and describing them. It is a lost art!
Stay tuned! In early music, it really is central to the way we understand music. Music (and singing) resembled spoken word much more in those days.
