  • Incoronazione Di Poppea *
    B USENELLO’ S S ECRET H ISTORY: An allegorical reading of L’incoronazione di Poppea * By Magnus Tessing Schneider The 1623 publication of Procopius’ Secret History shocked the scholarly world. The ancient historian’s rejection of his official account of the reign of Justinian I forced humanists to reflect on the general reliability of historical sources. The article suggests that Giovan Francesco Busenello’s libretto L’incoronazione di Poppea (1643) reflects the challenge posed by Procopius’ book. Though its portrayal of historical figures adheres to Tacitus’ Annals, it plays with the possibility that even Tacitus himself was deceived by Machiavellian rulers. Did he, for example, condemn Nero and Poppaea while praising Octavia because this was the truth, or because Octavia was, in fact, a superior politician who had managed to craft a favourable epitaph for herself? Nerone innamorato di Poppea, ch’era moglie di Ottone, lo mandò sotto pretesto d’ambasciaria in Lusitania per godersi la cara diletta, così rappresenta Cornelio Tacito. Ma quì si rappresenta il fatto diverso. Ottone, disperato nel vedersi privo di Poppea, dà nei deliri e nelle esclamazioni. Ottavia, moglie di Nerone, ordina ad Ottone che sveni Poppea. Ottone promette farlo; ma non bastandogli l’animo di levar la vita all’adorata Poppea, si traveste con l’abito di Drusilla ch’era innamorata di lui. Così travestito entra nel giardino di Poppea. Amore disturba e impedisce quella morte. Nerone ripudia Ottavia, nonostante i consigli di Seneca, e prende per moglie Poppea. Seneca more, e Ottavia vien discacciata da Roma.1 Nero, in love with Poppaea, Otho’s wife, sent the latter to Lusitania under the pretext of an ambassadorship in order to enjoy his dearly beloved.

  • The Possibility of Opera
    7 The Possibility of Opera In the performances of the Prologue of Orfeo, as staged by Luca Ronconi (see chapter 3), and of Combattimento, as staged by Pierre Audi (chapter 6), a char- acter at first represents the narrator — La Musica in the former case, Testo in the latter one. Both characters assert their presences through musical, verbal, and scenic effects. At a later phase — respectively, in the third and seventh strophes of their settings — La Musica and Testo also emerge as focalizing agents, their func- tion as narrators gradually receding into the background in order to “give life” to focalized characters — respectively, Orpheus and Tancredi/Clorinda. Clorinda becomes so autonomous a character as to herself become a focalizer at the end. Under this perspective, both performances can be said to stage the birth of musi- cal theater, and in the second case, we might add, out of the spirit of the madrigal. The madrigal is traditionally dominated by the narrator’s voice, diffused into the polyphonic concentus. But in the hands of Monteverdi, particularly in his Books V to VIII, the madrigal becomes the privileged site for the performance of a plurality of points of view. Characters come to life intermittently even despite their absence from the verbal text as such, thanks, for example, to the focalizing role played by instruments in concertato madrigals. Still, the narrator remains the ever-present voice (in narrative terms) that is audible and visible mostly in the continuo line, but also intermittently in individual voices (in physical terms) such as the bass — this was a traditional conduit of the “speaker” since Arcadelt.

  • 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.

  • Bologna, 4Th Augusti, 1770 As I Write This, I Am Still on My Bed. Not That
    0202. 1 LEOPOLD MOZART TO HIS WIFE , SALZBURG ; POSTSCRIPT FROM MOZART TO NANNERL Bologna , 4 th Augusti , 1770 As I write this, I am still on my bed. Not that my right leg is in danger. 2 No! Praise God, it is better, although the skin is now peeling off, [5] and it looks as if I had had chickenpox. But, besides the fact that I am still being careful with this right leg to avoid causing another swelling, I cannot walk because of the left foot, on which such severe pain and little swellings have started overnight, on the ball and one or other of the toes, and looking just like podagra , preventing me from walking. [10] Now I will hardly leave this inn for less than 20 ducats 3 – if that covers it. In God’s name, as long as one saves one’s skin, let the weevil 4 take the money! It was very sad for us to learn that our little Miss Martha 5 has consumption in the lungs and wasting in the neck. She did, of course, always look so lean. [15] 6Should one not be able to come to the help of such a young person with moisturising things? – – One simply can never be sure where consumption of this kind comes from. It does not always have to be consumption of the lungs. These are many other causes for a person getting consumption, especially in women. [20] It is, naturally, difficult to treat if one cannot find the root cause. I can assure you that this news has plunged both of us into great sorrow.

  • Antonio Vivaldi from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    Antonio Vivaldi From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Antonio Lucio Vivaldi (Italian: [anˈtɔːnjo ˈluːtʃo viˈvaldi]; 4 March 1678 – 28 July 1741) was an Italian Baroque composer, virtuoso violinist, teacher and cleric. Born in Venice, he is recognized as one of the greatest Baroque composers, and his influence during his lifetime was widespread across Europe. He is known mainly for composing many instrumental concertos, for the violin and a variety of other instruments, as well as sacred choral works and more than forty operas. His best-known work is a series of violin concertos known as The Four Seasons. Many of his compositions were written for the female music ensemble of the Ospedale della Pietà, a home for abandoned children where Vivaldi (who had been ordained as a Catholic priest) was employed from 1703 to 1715 and from 1723 to 1740. Vivaldi also had some success with expensive stagings of his operas in Venice, Mantua and Vienna. After meeting the Emperor Charles VI, Vivaldi moved to Vienna, hoping for preferment. However, the Emperor died soon after Vivaldi's arrival, and Vivaldi himself died less than a year later in poverty. Life Childhood Antonio Lucio Vivaldi was born in 1678 in Venice, then the capital of the Republic of Venice. He was baptized immediately after his birth at his home by the midwife, which led to a belief that his life was somehow in danger. Though not known for certain, the child's immediate baptism was most likely due either to his poor health or to an earthquake that shook the city that day.

  • 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.
