James Garratt explores the revival of sixteenth-century music in nineteenth-century Germany, focusing on the reception of Palestrina by critics, historians, performers and composers. He demonstrates that the Palestrina revival was just as significant for nineteenth-century culture as parallel movements in the other arts. This study is of relevance to scholars, students and devotees of nineteenth-century music, as well as those with interests in nineteenth-century culture, art, architecture, literature and aesthetics, the history of church music and the early music revival.

Reviews & endorsements
"...outstanding in both its breadth and depth. Garratt demonstrates an impressive command of not only the history of music and its institutions, but also of German Romantic literature and philosophy. He expresses his ideas with clarity and sophistication. ...a welcome addition to the collection of academic music libraries." Notes
