Johann Rosenmüller and the Rehabilitation of Vocal Fugue in the Second Half of the Seventeenth Century

Abstract

Paul Walker’s contribution to our festschrift explores Rosenmüller’s revival of the vocal fugue in the seventeenth century. It is a perfect combination of his own expertise on fugal theory and a tribute to Kerala Snyder’s original research on Rosenmüller from the first chapter of her own long and successful research career.
