Examines the mechanisms through which 17th-century musicians simulated extreme affective states - desire, divine rapture, and ecstatic pleasure. This book demonstrates how major genres of the period, from opera to religious music to instrumental pieces based on dances, were part of this striving for heightened passions by performers and listeners.
