Kwartalnik Młodych Muzykologów UJ No. 32 (4/2017), pp. 59–78 DOI 10.4467/23537094KMMUJ.17.010.7839 www.ejournals.eu/kmmuj Róża Różańska JAGIELLONIAN UNIVERSITY IN KRAKÓW Leone Leoni as a Forgotten Composer of the Early Baroque Era Abstract The article is a pioneer attempt in Polish literature to develop a syn- thetic resume and the characteristics of the work of the Italian Baroque composer Leone Leoni. Leoni was highly valued in his time; also, he is said to be one of the creators of dramma per musica genre, and his religious compositions served as model examples of counterpoint for many centuries. The first part of the text presents the state of research concerning the life and work of the artist; then, the second part con- tains his biography. The last part discusses Leoni’s works. Finally, the rank of his output is regarded. Keywords Leone Leoni, small-scale concerto, madrigal, early Baroque The following article is a pioneer attempt in Polish literature to develop a synthetic resume of life and art of Leone Leoni (ca. 1560–1627), an Italian composer. Today forgotten, he was a highly valued artist in his epoch. He is regarded as one of the pioneers of dramma per musica and, 59 Kwartalnik Młodych Muzykologów UJ, No. 32 (1/2017) through the centuries, his church music was used by music theorists as models of music rhetoric and concertato style in the compositions for small ensemble. The paper has been planned as an introduction to the cycle of arti- cles dedicated to Leone Leoni, and because of that it is general in the character. -

W. NORTON AND COMPANY Ƌ ƋĐƋ W. W. Norton & Company has been independent since its founding in 1923, when William Warder Norton and Mary D. Herter Norton first published lectures delivered at the People’s Institute, the adult education division of New York City’s Cooper Union. The firm soon expanded its program beyond the Institute, publishing books by celebrated academics from America and abroad. By midcentury, the two major pillars of Norton’s publishing program—trade books and college texts— were firmly established. In the 1950s, the Norton family transferred control of the company to its employees, and today—with a staff of four hundred and a comparable number of trade, college, and professional titles published each year—W.

Music, however, bucked the trend. Not only did the first female composers appear who speak to us with distinct artistic voices, women were also more visibly active as publishers, purchasers and patrons of music. -

Vittoria Aleotti: Varied Performance Formats for the Madrigal and Female Music Spaces of the Renaissance
Vittoria Aleotti: Varied Performance Formats for the Madrigal and Female Music Spaces of the Renaissance Richard Carrick Carrick 1 There is a reason why the Renaissance era is often considered “the golden age” of choral music. Not only did European Renaissance music exist in multiple settings, such as courts, churches, private homes and monasteries/convents, but its performers also comprised a complex social structure. 1 In both sacred and secular polyphonic literature, research has discovered a surprising fluidity of performance options. Noel O’Regan asserts that music in Italy during the sixteenth century is dominated by one genre: the madrigal. 2 Using Vittoria Aleotti’s music as an example, I will examine the various formats in which madrigals could have been performed. By linking what we know about the fluidity of performance forces for madrigals with the desire to find more repertory that accurately embodies women’s encounters with music from the period, we are able to formulate a better understanding of how music making looked in female spaces of the Renaissance. As our collective knowledge deepens into how music functioned in the lives of Renaissance people, we are able to apply a wider aperture to view performance practice of the madrigal. Doing so has several implications: It deepens our understanding of female participation in Renaissance music and broadens the repertoire available for modern female-identifying musicians. Before discussing the fluidity of the madrigal’s format, it is important to address the current state of research on the personage of Vittoria and Raffaella Aleotti. Were they sisters, or were they the same person? We know that their father, Giambattista Aleotti, was a successful engineer and architect for the duke of Ferrara.3 In the dedication to Vittoria Aleotti’s Ghirlanda de madrigali, Giambattista mentions that he had five daughters.4 C.A. -
Claiming Voice: Madalena Casulana and the Sixteenth-Century Italian Madrigal
CLAIMING VOICE: MADALENA CASULANA AND THE SIXTEENTH-CENTURY ITALIAN MADRIGAL by Samantha Heere-Beyer Bachelor of Arts, Lebanon Valley College, 2007 Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Arts and Sciences in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts University of Pittsburgh 2009 UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH SCHOOL OF ARTS AND SCIENCES This thesis was presented by Samantha Heere-Beyer It was defended on April 9, 2009 and approved by Mary S. Lewis, PhD, Professor of Music Don O. Franklin, PhD, Professor of Music Thesis Director: James P. Cassaro, MLS, MA, Adjunct Assistant Professor ii Copyright © by Samantha Heere-Beyer 2009 iii CLAIMING VOICE: MADALENA CASULANA AND THE SIXTEENTH-CENTURY ITALIAN MADRIGAL Samantha Heere-Beyer, M.A. University of Pittsburgh, 2009 This thesis explores the ways in which Madalena Casulana (ca. 1540—ca. 1590) expressed her stated desire to overturn the misconceptions of sixteenth-century patriarchy that maintained that women did not have the ability to think and compose music as men did. Through an investigation into her life and works, as well as her philosophical and musical heritage, this thesis reveals that Casulana was not only aware of the gender barriers and stereotypes that made her position as a female composer precarious at best, but also that she sought to liberate women from their rigidly proscribed status. Examining the Greco-Roman roots of contemporary thoughts about biology and gender difference provides insight into the segregated world in which Casulana worked and explains the language of innuendo that permeated Casulana’s musical medium, the madrigal. Her madrigals reveal a high level of training and creativity within the medium, but it is the way in which she utilizes her skill of representation through the madrigal iv that reveals her own voice amid the traditional tropes. -
