  • 3 Italian Opera Composers June 2020
    Italian Culture June 2020 Dear Italian Culture Friends I thought that it might be interesting to look this week at the work of three Italian Opera Composers who later composed some liturgical works. In the case of two of the composers, we invariably think of their operatic output. These are Giuseppe Verdi and Gioachino Rossini. The third of them, Cherubini, also wrote a number of operas before turning to liturgical music In 1831 Rossini travelled to Spain with a friend, a banker named Alexandre Aguado, owner of Chateau Margaux, famous for its Bordeaux wine (claret). While he was there, he was commissioned by Fernández Varela, a state councillor, to write a setting of the liturgical text, the Stabat Mater. Although he began the work in 1831, it was not until 1841 that the final form was completed. It was premiered on Holy Saturday 1833 in the Chapel of San Felipe el Real in Madrid but this was the only performance of that version. The choice of Holy Saturday was appropriate as the work tells part of the story of the previous day, Good Friday, and perhaps it was the rush to complete it in time for that first performance which caused Rossini’s dissatisfaction with that version and caused him to continue to revise it. In fact, the first version was not solely the work of Rossini. It was a twelve-part piece of which Rossini had written Parts 1 and 5-9. His friend, Giovanni Tadolini, had written the rest but Rossini claimed it as his own work. Rossini, the product of a musical family from Pesaro, on the Adriatic coast - his father was a trumpeter and his mother a singer - had published his first composition at the age of 18 and the next year he was contracted to write operas and manage theatres in Naples.

Montano, 1 - 37131 VERONA Tel. 0039/329/0274315 - 0039/347/3603084 0039/45/520859 - 0039/45/8403819 www.traditio.it - E-mail: [email protected] VERONESE EASTERS The Verona rising against Napoleon (April 17-25, 1797) The Veronese Easters , like the Sicilian Vespers , is the name for the general insurrection in Verona and its surrounding country, on April 17, 1797: Easter Monday. Among the innumerable risings from 1796 to 1814 which swept through Italy and Europe occupied by Bonaparte, and which expressed the rejection by the people of the false principles of the French Revolution, imposed by bayonets, the insurrection of Verona was certainly the most important in Italy, after the Saint Faith’s Crusade in 1799, by which Cardinal Fabrizio Ruffo of Calabria and the farmers of the south regained a whole Kingdom for the Bourbons of Naples. 1. Verona and the Serenissima Republic before the Revolution The Revolutionary France, drunk with the massacres of the Terror, ventured into a series of wars against the other European powers after killing the legitimate sovereign, Louis XVI, exterminating his family, causing the death of the Dauphin at the age of ten in the Temple Tower jail, demolishing the monarchy, persecuting worship and the Catholic religion. The revolutionary hordes, led by the darkest anticlerical sects, above all the Masons, were anxious to export hatred against the Church all over the world and upset the traditional sacred Institutions both civil and religious to which the people were deeply attached. The Italian States and the aristocratic Republic of Venice were then unfortunately experiencing a sad moral decline: a large part of the patrician ship, a shadow of that which had faced and beaten the Turks so many times, was infiltrated by the libertarian and libertine principles of the French Revolution.

Frederick surprised the Austrian general, and, after severe fighting, drove him from his entrenchments, with a loss of about 5,000 killed, wounded and prisoners. The Prussians lost 2,500. 1742 Battle of Czaslau (Austria vs. Prussia) Prussians victory Fought 1742, between the Prussians under Frederic the Great, and the Austrians under Prince Charles of Lorraine. The Prussians were driven from the field, but the Austrians abandoned the pursuit to plunder, and the king, rallying his troops, broke the Austrian main body, and defeated them with a loss of 4,000 men. 1742 Battle of Chotusitz (Austria vs. Prussia) Prussians victory Fought May 17, 1742, between the Austrians under Prince Charles of Lorraine, and the Prussians under Frederick the Great. The numbers were about equal, but the steadiness of the Prussian infantry eventually wore down the Austrians, and they were forced to retreat, though in good order, leaving behind them 18 guns and 12,000 prisoners.

After the fall of the Roman empire in the West, an interval of fifty years, till the memorable reign of Justinian, is faintly marked by the obscure names and imperfect annals of Zeno, Anastasius, and Justin, who successively ascended to the throne of Constantinople. During the same period, Italy revived and flourished under the government of a Gothic king, who might have deserved a statue among the best and bravest of the ancient Romans.

  • Ravenna, a Study by Edward Hutton</H1>
    Ravenna, A Study by Edward Hutton Ravenna, A Study by Edward Hutton Produced by Ted Garvin, Leonard Johnson and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team. RAVENNA A STUDY BY EDWARD HUTTON ILLUSTRATED IN COLOUR AND LINE by HARALD SUND 1913 TO MY FRIEND ARTHUR SYMONS IN AFFECTIONATE HOMAGE page 1 / 345 PREFACE My intention in writing this book has been to demonstrate the unique importance of Ravenna in the history of Italy and of Europe, especially during the Dark Age from the time of Alaric's first descent into the Cisalpine plain to the coming of Charlemagne. That importance, as it seems to me, has been wholly or almost wholly misunderstood, and certainly, as I understand it, has never been explained. In this book, which is offered to the public not without a keen sense of its inadequacy, I have tried to show in as clear a manner as was at my command, what Ravenna really was in the political geography of the empire, and to explain the part that position allowed her to play in the great tragedy of the decline and fall of the Roman administration. If I have succeeded in this I am amply repaid for all the labour the book has cost me. The principal sources, both ancient and modern, which I have consulted in the preparation of this volume have been cited, but I must here acknowledge the special debt I owe to the late Dr. Hodgkin, to Professor Diehl, to Dr. Corrado Ricci, and to the many contributors to the various Italian Bollettini which I have ransacked.
