| Summary | "Great Italian and French Composers" by George T. Ferris is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book presents detailed sketches of prominent Italian and French composers, emphasizing their contributions to music and their historical significance. Ferris aims to make the information accessible and interesting to the general music-loving public, rather than just to scholars. At the start of the book, Ferris discusses the challenges of summarizing the vast contributions of notable composers in a limited format. He draws on prior works and provides insights into figures like Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina, highlighting his life, significant works, and the impact of his music. The narrative illustrates how Palestrina, along with other composers, shaped Italian music and laid the groundwork for future developments in the operatic tradition, portraying a rich historical context for understanding the evolution of musical genres through significant personalities.
