Ester Lebedinski Phd Thesis ROMAN VOCAL MUSIC IN ENGLAND , 1660–1710 Court, Connoisseurs, and the Culture of Collecting Ester Lavinia Lebedinski Submitted to Royal Holloway, University of London, for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, December 2014 Abstract This thesis examines the dissemination and appropriation of Roman vocal music in England, 1660–1710. Associated with powerful courts and rarefied learning, Roman vocal music was a prestigious object of curiosity for rulers and dilettantes. The lack of musical sources and absence of musicians familiar with the repertoire suggests that Roman vocal music was not introduced into England until the 1660s when the court engaged Vincenzo Albrici (1631–90) as the leader of Charles II’s Italian ensemble. Although the ensemble was previously thought to have been an opera troupe, this thesis uses newly discovered letters to argue that Albrici was hired by Sir Henry Bennet and Sir Bernard Gascoigne on his merits as a church and chamber music composer. I argue that Charles II’s patronage of the Italian ensemble was a means of social distinction and legitimation of power, similar to the use of Roman vocal music by continental rulers including Cardinal Mazarin who introduced Charles to the concept of Roman vocal music during Charles’s exile in Paris. That Roman vocal music was a connoisseurs’ repertoire carrying significant social cachet is furthermore illustrated by Samuel Pepys’s engagement with it in the little-researched musical environment of the Royal Society of London. In the dilettante culture of collecting and observation, Roman vocal music was treated as a foreign curiosity and examined in concert as a way of better understanding the compositional secrets published in Athanasius Kircher’s Musurgia universalis (1650). Kircher’s influence on English attitudes towards Roman vocal music is further illustrated by the collecting and imitative practices of Henry Aldrich (1648– 1710), whose famous recompositions of motets by Roman composers were possibly a way of understanding the effects Kircher claimed that Carissimi and Palestrina’s music had on their listeners. Aldrich’s collecting arguably was part of a larger antiquarian enterprise to maintain and improve the English cathedral music tradition, which had repeatedly been thrown into question by the religio-political upheavals of the seventeenth century. This enterprise was later taken up by the early eighteenth- century ancient music movement, which adopted Roman vocal music after Aldrich’s death through collecting efforts and performances of motets and oratorios by Carissimi and Palestrina. ii Declaration of Authorship I, Ester Lebedinski, hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Signed: ________________________________ Date:___________________________________ iii Acknowledgements This thesis owes its existence, and relatively painless completion, to a number of people; thanks firstly to my supervisor, Stephen Rose, who has habitually gone beyond the call of duty to offer help and support, from much-appreciated nitpicking English grammar to seventeenth-century injokes. Thanks also to Lars Berglund, who let me loose on the Düben Collection as an undergraduate, and who was the first to suggest that I do a PhD on Roman vocal music. Thanks to several colleagues for help in various forms: Nicolas Bell, Julie Brown, Mariana Brockmann, Katherine Butler, Helen Deeming, Katharine Ellis, Roger Freitas, Kia Hedell, Knud Arne Jürgensen, Mattias Lundberg, Bjarke Moe, Maria Schildt, Sandra Tuppen and Andrew Woolley. Stefano Fogelberg Rota and Clémence Destribois have checked Italian and French translations. The members of the research network ‘Musical-Cultural Exchange in Early Modern Europe, c.1550– 1750’ and the Early Music seminar at Royal Holloway have offered invaluable forums for trying out new ideas. Thanks also to the staff at the British Library, the Bodleian Library, Chrirst Church College library (Oxford), King’s College library (Cambridge), the Pepys library at Magdalene College (Cambridge), and York Minster Library for help with making sources available. My warmest and most heartfelt thanks are due to the fellow PhD students who have kept me sane through offering plenty of laughs and solid support in both life and PhD matters: Samantha Blickhan, Clare Brady, Sean Dunnahoe, Karin Eriksson, Annika Forkert, Matthew Laube, Christie Majoros, Per-Henning Olsson, Anne Reese-Willén, Maria Schildt, Peter van Tour, and Stephanie Vos. Clare, Sam, Sean, Annika, Matt and Stephanie all deserve special thanks for proofreading a bit of the thesis each, as does Ida Johansson for help with printing and binding. My aunt and uncle have put me up in Uppsala, and—as the family PhDs—asked about my submission plans just as much as one would like them to. Finally, I present this thesis to my family: to my mum, as thanks for Baroque music, Habermas, Elias, and Bourdieu; to my dad, for being a modern virtuoso, and a fabulous model for any aspiring humanist; to my brother and sister, for always being interested; and to Joacim, who has been involved since that first-year assignment on Binchois. iv Table of Contents Abstract .................................................................................................................... ii Declaration of Authorship ....................................................................................... iii Acknowledgements ................................................................................................. iv Table of Contents ..................................................................................................... v Lists of Tables, Figures and Music Examples ....................................................... vii Abbreviations .......................................................................................................... ix Editorial Note .......................................................................................................... xi 1.

    LA CULTURA ITALIANA BALDASSARE GALUPPI (1706–1785) Thousands of English-speaking students are only familiar with this composer through a poem by Robert Browning entitled “A Toccata of Galuppi’s.” Few of these students had an inkling of who he was or had ever heard a note of his music. This is in keeping with the poem in which the toccata stands as a symbol of a vanished world. Although he was famous throughout his life and died a very rich man, soon after his death he was almost entirely forgotten until Browning resurrected his name (and memory) in his 1855 poem. He belonged to a generation of composers that included Christoph Willibald Gluck, Domenico Scarlatti, and CPE Bach, whose works were emblematic of the prevailing galant style that developed in Europe throughout the 18th century. In his early career he made a modest success in opera seria (serious opera), but from the 1740s, together with the playwright and librettist Carlo Goldoni, he became famous throughout Europe for his opera buffa (comic opera) in the new dramma giocoso (playful drama) style. To the suc- ceeding generation of composers he became known as “the father of comic opera,” although some of his mature opera seria were also widely popular. BALDASSARE GALUPPI was born on the island of Burano in the Venetian Lagoon on October 18, 1706, and from as early as age 22 was known as “Il Buranello,” a nickname which even appears in the signature on his music manuscripts, “Baldassare Galuppi, detto ‘Buranello’ (Baldassare Galuppi, called ‘Buranello’).” His father was a bar- ber, who also played the violin in theater orchestras, and is believed to have been his son’s first music teacher.

    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.

Born in 1626 into a bourgeois family in Pistoia, Italy, Atto Melani was castrated to preserve his singing voice and soon rose to both artistic and social prominence. His extant letters not only depict the musical activities of several European centers, they reveal the real-life context of music and the musician: how a singer related to patrons and colleagues, what he thought about his profession, and the role music played in his life. Whether Atto was singing, spying, having sex, composing, or even rejecting his art, his life illustrates how music-making was always also a negotiation for power. Providing a rare glimpse of the social and political contexts of seventeenth-century music, Roger Freitas sheds light on the mechanisms that generated meaning for music, clarifying what music at this time actually was. Roger Freitas is Associate Professor in the Department of Musicology, Eastman School of Music, University of Rochester. His writing has appeared in journals including the Journal of Musicology, Music and Letters, and Opera News.

  • Introduction
    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-88521-8 - Portrait of a Castrato: Politics, Patronage, and Music in the Life of Atto Melani Roger Freitas Excerpt More information Introduction In an age that prized extravagance, Atto Melani led a life that may itself seem an object of wonder. Born in 1626 into a bourgeois family in the Tuscan town of Pistoia, northwest of Florence, Atto was the second of seven brothers, all to become musicians, and the first of four to be castrated for the sake of his beautiful voice.1 By the age of fifteen he seems already to have been working for Prince Mattias de’ Medici, brother of the grand duke of Tuscany. Within a few years, Mattias loaned his singer to the court of France, where in the 1640s Atto first rose to prominence. On the one hand, his singing won him the favor of the queen regent Anne of Austria, mother of the young Louis XIV; on the other, his taste for political intrigue attracted the attention of Cardinal Mazarin, the queen’s formidable first minister. This blend of music and politics set the tone for much of Atto’s career. Over the next fifteen years Atto in fact engineered a remarkable self- metamorphosis, from professional singer to gentleman diplomat. Early in his career, he performed whatever was commanded of him, from the title role of Luigi Rossi’s historic Orfeo to the tiny female part of La Primavera in a one-off Mantuan spectacular. But as his ambitions grew, he became increasingly concerned about prestige. He realized that, as long as he continued to sing, especially publicly, he limited his social standing.
