The concept of conversion as confessional and spiritual change obtains a critical place in the research
of history and the arts in early modernity. In this study the first attempt is made to examine
the relation between this multifaceted concept and music, within the specific context of Rome in
the first half of the 17th century.
In the aristocratic circles around the Pope – in the anti-Protestant climate intensified by the Thirty
Years’ War – the concept of conversion became an instrument of Chiesa militante and the paradigm
of Roman identity, self-perception and self-representation. This book focuses on conversion
as a topos in music, which helped to shape the new dramatic musical genres to an astonishing
extent. In this sense, the study is a significant contribution to a changed understanding of musical
works, which are examined here in direct connection with the confessional, political, urban and
perception-theory premises of the early modern period.
