      abstract = {Ferdinand III played a crucial role both in helping to end  the Thirty Years' War and in reestablishing Habsburg  sovereignty within his hereditary lands. Ferdinand's  accomplishments came not through diplomacy or strong  leadership but through a skillful manipulation of the arts.  Drawing upon recent methodological approaches to the  representation of other early modern monarchs as well as  upon the theory of confessionalization, Andrew Weaver  places the sacred vocal music composed by imperial  musicians into the rich cultural, political, and religious  contexts of mid-seventeenth-century Central Europe.},
