How did Catholicism sound in the early modern period? What kinds of sonic cultures developed within the diverse and dynamic matrix of early modern Catholicism? And what do we learn about early modern Catholicism by attending to its sonic manifestations? Editors Daniele V. Filippi and Michael Noone have brought together a variety of studies — ranging from processional culture in Bavaria to Roman confraternities, and catechetical praxis in popular missions — that share an emphasis on the many and varied modalities and meanings of sonic experience in early modern Catholic life.

“Listening to Early Modern Catholicism is an absorbing collection that, among other things, patiently undermines the cliché. The case studies and topical overviews show a remarkable degree of diversity, adaptability, and autonomy [...] This volume does fine service in naming a lacuna in early modern studies, making a substantial contribution to filling it, all the while encouraging dialogue among a variety of scholarly disciplines, and gathering essential resources.”
Michael O'Connor, St. Michael’s College, University of Toronto, in Renaissance and Reformation / Renaissance et Réforme, Vol. 41 No 2 (2018), pp. 179–181.
“an extremely rich and rewarding collection of essays that takes seriously new musicological concepts and methods.”

“the collection makes a strong case for music as a neglected element in the study of early modern Catholicism and demonstrates that it performed a wide variety of roles. It is an excellent introduction to the field.”
