  Using the influential Venetian composer Adrian Willaert's (1490-1562) music, this book reconstructs his innovative theories concerning how music might communicate extramusical ideas. It discusses the influence of Willaert's theory on the madrigals of composers such as Vicentino, Perissone Cambio, Francesco dalla Viola, and Baldassare Donato.
