The yearbook “troja” combines contributions from the annual  Trossinger symposium on research in renaissance music with further essays elaborating on these various themes.<br>
 The first volume concerns itself with questions about musical everyday vents in the 15th and 16th century as well as the assimilation of daily life in the musical compositions of this period.<br>
 <br>
 Various aspects of life are de-scribed, such as the French Royal Court , the Munich Duchy and the bourgeois milieu of merchants and quacks. The European-wide custom of the writing and singing of songs and the way in which the era of writing affected early  instrumental music are  explored in-depth. Another central theme focuses on the relationship between  music and  the new body consciousness.<br>
