Although Gesualdo’s Third Book came out but one year after his first two books, it manifests a transitional style that led into the 'late style' of the Fifth and Sixth Books. In his essay Marco Bizzarini develops this idea and points to the darkening of Gesualdo’s psychological profile at the time, which is mirrored in the melancholic nature of the madrigals in the Third Book. In the texts, joy and grief are frequently intermingled - yet each time freshly considered -and although there are named writers such as Battista Guarini present, many of the texts are anonymous; the inference being that Gesualdo himself might have been their author. Musically, the development is signalled especially by a greater use of violent dissonance than before, and demonstrating that Gesualdo could creatively reflect highly-charged emotions in music through counterpoint: no need for monody for him.

  • The Troping of Elegy in the Renaissance Italian Madrigal*
    DOI https://doi.org/10.2298/MUZ1722151M UDC 821.131.1.09-1"15/16" 784(450)"15/16" From Pain to Pleasure: The Troping of Elegy in the Renaissance Italian Madrigal* Milena Medić1 Department of Music Theory, Faculty of Music, University of Arts, Belgrade Received: 15 February 2017 Accepted: 1 June 2017 Original scientific paper Abstract: In the Renaissance period, melancholia emerged as a dramatic cultural phenomenon among the intellectual and artistic elites, with a locus in elegy it gave form to the Renaissance poetics of loss, pain and shedding of tears, expressing essentially the fantasy about death as a prerequisite for revival. The possibilities of confronting the threats of death were being found in its very nature whose inherent ambiguity was determined by the principles of Thanatos and Eros. The creative act of the troping of elegy proved to be an effective literary and musical strategy for the transcendence of death including the procedures of homeopathization, pastoralization, heroization and erotization of elegy. The elegiac tropic transcendence of death found its most complex expression in the madrigal which in turn added to its basic polyphonic procedure the opposing stylistic elements of the pastoral genres (canzonettas and villanellas) or heroic solo or choral recitations and it consequently acquired a hybrid form in the last decades of the 16th century, and thereby proved to be a cultural trope itself. The aim of this article is to examine the musical implications of the tropic strategies of facing death within Francesco Petrarch’s, Torquato Tasso’s, and Battista Gurini’s poetic models of the art of loving death, using the remarkable examples of the Italian madrigal practice of the late Renaissance.
