Musical offerings in the Renaissance

Rob C. Wegman

Rob Wegman teaches at Princeton University. His monograph The crisis of music in early modern Europe, 1470–1530 will appear with Routledge, New York, in the autumn of 2005. rwegman{at}phoenix.princeton.edu

This article offers a model for the creation and circulation of musical compositions before the time they began to be treated as marketable goods (c.1470–1500). The model is that of the gift economy. The ramifications of the practice of musical gift exchange in the late Middle Ages are far-reaching, extending to issues of musical aesthetics and sociology.

Key Words: musical gift exchange • music and aesthetics • music and sociology • Renaissance music • music book
