		| Abstract: | 
		Claudio Monteverdi appears as the key personality of the music in
 Galileo's time. His revolution in format and function of the musical
 language–from an essentially edonistic creation of purely sonorous
 images to a musical language consciously “expressive” of the content
 of the words on which it is based–is similar in character to the
 influential innovations in scientific thinking operated by Galileo. |
