From its introduction in Venice in the early sixteenth century, polychoral music underwent an extraordinary journey in the course of which it spread throughout Europe, from Lisbon to Warsaw and, crossing the Atlantic, came to be practiced with equal intensity in Latin America. By adopting a broad perspective, the present volume aims to bring together for the first time contributions not only about the origins of the phenomenon itself, but also in relation to its widespread transcultural diffusion in Spain and America.
