Gondek, Chair The fictional women presented to the public on the opera stages and in the noble houses of Italy during the seventeenth century did not resemble the societal feminine ideal of chastity, silence, obedience, and humility; on the contrary, they were strong-willed, eloquent, powerful, and sexually sentient. This dissertation will examine a few of the principal female characters from a selected number of early seventeenth-century operas and explore what these women represented in context of the patriarchal, highly misogynistic societies in which they were constructed. Furthermore, I will consider the implications of this information for issues of modern performance practice, and for the representation of these female characters in modern reproductions of the operas. Finally, I will discuss the influences of this research on my final DMA recital, a program of seventeenth-century arias and songs which personified the female stereotypes presented in this dissertation.

This thesis, aimed at performers as well as scholars, begins with a brief consideration of the cultural context of early public opera in Venice and the emergence of the musical language of tonality. It goes on to examine how, in setting Faustini’s text, Cavalli represents desire and sexuality, constructs character, and creates a musical narrative. Cavalli’s implementation of the precepts of the seconda prattica is also considered in terms of textural and rhetorical devices.

  • SSCM - AHS Joint Meeting April 23-26, 2015 Iowa City
    SSCM - AHS Joint Meeting April 23-26, 2015 Iowa City Abstracts Thursday Afternoon I. Plenary Session: Baroque Lives Roger Freitas (Eastman School of Music), Chair Supereminet omnes: New Light on the Life and Career of Vittoria Tarquini Beth Glixon (University of Kentucky) Vittoria Tarquini is known especially among Handel enthusiasts as the composer’s would-be paramour during his time in Florence in 1708; indeed, her relationship with Handel has taken on even greater significance over the last few decades as questions regarding the composer’s sexuality have been raised. The singer also occupies a niche in a particular corner of Florentine history as the supposed mistress of Grand Prince Ferdinando de’ Medici. Using newly discovered archival and visual material as well as a wide range of secondary sources, my paper traces Tarquini’s life and operatic career in Italy and Germany before looking at her years of retirement in Venice, where she died in 1746. Tarquini’s performance at Venice’s famed Teatro S. Giovanni Grisostomo in 1688 put her under the influence of the powerful Grimani family, and through Vincenzo Grimani she made the acquaintance of Prince Ferdinando, who would become her patron and employer ten years later. Rather than continuing her career in Venice, she moved to Hanover later in 1688, and soon married the French concertmaster Jean-Baptiste Farinel. She subsequently spent a number of years singing in Naples, where she was a favorite of the Viceroy, the Duke of Medinaceli. While there she sang in various works of Alessandro Scarlatti, and premiered the title role in Il trionfo di Camilla, which became one of the most popular operas of the eighteenth century.

  • Musique De L'œil
    ARTAMAG' FOCUS MUSIQUE DE L’ŒIL 13 NOVEMBRE 2015 | JEAN-CHARLES HOFFELÉ La musique se voit dans la peinture vénitienne, mieux, elle se montre, de la trompette de la Gloire de Giuseppe Angeli au « concertino » qui accompagne les joueurs de cartes de Pietro Longhi nommant d’ailleurs son tableau. Instruments pour les scènes mythologiques ou les « moralités », fresques où se mirent la dramaturgie du théâtre d’opéra que Venise invente puis réinvente sans cesse, concerts de cordes et de bois qui rappellent la pratique instrumentale intimement liée aux Ospedali, c’est tout ce répertoire pictural qu’Olivier Lexa parcourt au long des deux cent pages du livre d’art qu’il consacre à ce sujet inusable : « La musique à Venise ». Période : de Monteverdi à Vivaldi ; sujet : toiles, fresques, apparat, pratique domestique, et évidemment opéra où entre décors, costumes, dramaturgie, l’auteur suit l’évolution du goût vénitien. En refermant cet ouvrage magnifique qui va chercher parfois dans les parts les moins courues du répertoire pictural de la Sérénissime, je me dis que le sujet n’avait pas été traité avec tant d’à propos et une si profonde sensibilité. C’est qu’Olivier Lexa « entend » cette peinture musicale dans les deux acceptations du terme. Il est l’auteur de la première biographie française de l’autre père de l’opéra vénitien avec Monteverdi, Francesco Cavalli – en fait pour moi, son véritable créateur – un ouvrage très documenté au style enlevé que l’on retrouve toujours aussi brillant et juste dans le nouveau venu, comme dans le prologue qui pare le magnifique livre-disque concocté par Mariana Florès et Leonardo García Alarcón, où se résume en ses pages les plus éloquentes ou les plus touchantes tout le théâtre lyrique de Cavalli.

  • Transcripts of Dramatic Musical Works in Full Score
    TRANSCRIPTS OF DRAMATIC MUSICAL WORKS IN FULL SCORE AT THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS MUSIC DIVISION Compiled by Susan Clermont Senior Music Specialist Library of Congress Music Division A BIBLIOGRAPHY OF TRANSCRIPTS OF DRAMATIC MUSICAL WORKS IN FULL SCORE AT THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS This bibliography comprises close to 700 transcripts of dramatic musical works in full score copied from original music manuscripts and early imprints for the Library of Congress’s Music Division between 1903 and 1939. The original sources were located in over three dozen European libraries in Austria, Belgium, France, Great Britain, Germany, Hungary, Italy and Russia. The majority of the operas cited in this document date from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries; about fifteen percent are reproductions of nineteenth-century works. Also included in this bibliography are transcripts of incidental music for dramas, melodramas, ballets, and pantomimes (see Appendix B). Finally, Appendix C comprises a short list of instrumental works, mostly for viola da gamba, that were transcribed over a two-year period when the parameters of this project were provisionally broadened. In 1902, a new set of guidelines for the systematic development of the newly-reorganized Music Division’s collections was instituted: opera immediately received a considerable share of attention because, “the peculiar condition of opera in the United States seemed to demand that a center of reference and research be created for the students of opera.” [Oscar Sonneck, Dramatic Music: Catalogue of Full Scores…, 1908] Accordingly, a series of “want lists” were compiled; however, when it was determined after a comprehensive search that hundreds of items included on the Music Division’s desiderata list for operas in full score were unprocurable in manuscript or print versions, the option of contracting copyists to generate transcripts was explored.

A presentation on the finer points of Monteverdi’s or Handel’s art can rapidly narrow to an explanation of the castrato tradition, a justification 196 for substituting women or countertenors, and a general plea for the dramatic viability of baroque opera. As much as one tries to rationalize the historical practice, a treble Nero or Julius Caesar can still derail ap- preciation of the music drama.
