    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School School of Music THE PHILOSOPHICAL FOUNDATION AND POLITICAL FUNCTION OF SPAIN’S RECITADO IN CELOS AUN DEL AIRE MATAN (1661) A Thesis in Musicology by Stephanie Haddock de Jesús © 2016 Stephanie Haddock de Jesús Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts May 2016 The thesis of Stephanie Haddock de Jesús was reviewed and approved* by the following: Marica S. Tacconi Professor of Musicology Thesis Adviser Mark C. Ferraguto Assistant Professor of Musicology Sue E. Haug Professor of Music Director of the School of Music *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School. ii! ABSTRACT This thesis focuses on the development of opera in one of the world’s largest empires during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, Spain. Musicologists such as Louise K. Stein, José María Domínguez, and José Subirá have researched the first evidence of the Italian genre in the Spanish royal court. Two contrasting arguments have resulted from their conclusions. The first argument states that the Spanish opera does not follow the Italian model of the late seventeenth century and therefore does not attest to Italian influence. On the other hand, other musicologists argue that the Spanish genre does reflect the Italianate taste of the Spanish court, but that past research is tainted with nationalism. These seemingly opposing conclusions may be reconciled through an analysis of the political and philosophical context surrounding the evolution of opera in Spain. The first surviving, fully sung Spanish opera, Celos aun del aire matan (1661), composed by Juan Hidalgo (1614-1685) on a libretto by Don Pedro Calderón de la Barca (1600-1681), provides the groundwork for this thesis.

  • The Santissima Annunziata of Florence, Medici Portraits, and the Counter Reformation in Italy
    THE SANTISSIMA ANNUNZIATA OF FLORENCE, MEDICI PORTRAITS, AND THE COUNTER REFORMATION IN ITALY by Bernice Ida Maria Iarocci A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Art University of Toronto © Copyright by Bernice Iarocci 2015 THE SANTISSIMA ANNUNZIATA OF FLORENCE, MEDICI PORTRAITS, AND THE COUNTER REFORMATION IN ITALY Bernice Ida Maria Iarocci Doctor of Philosophy Department of Art University of Toronto 2015 A defining feature of the Counter-Reformation period is the new impetus given to the material expression of devotion to sacred images and relics. There are nonetheless few scholarly studies that look deeply into the shrines of venerated images, as they were renovated or decorated anew during this period. This dissertation investigates an image cult that experienced a particularly rich elaboration during the Counter-Reformation – that of the miracle-working fresco called the Nunziata, located in the Servite church of the Santissima Annunziata in Florence. By the end of the fifteenth century, the Nunziata had become the primary sacred image in the city of Florence and one of the most venerated Marian cults in Italy. My investigation spans around 1580 to 1650, and includes texts related to the sacred fresco, copies made after it, votives, and other additions made within and around its shrine. I address various components of the cult that carry meanings of civic importance; nonetheless, one of its crucial characteristics is that it partook of general agendas belonging to the Counter- Reformation movement. That is, it would be myopic to remain within a strictly local scope when considering this period.

    Eva Struhal Filippo Baldinucci’s Autopsies. Autopsy and Art Theory in the Vocabolario Toscano dell’ Arte del Disegno (1681) and His Lettera a Vincenzo Capponi (1681) Although one of the most frequently used sources on the Italian Seicento, the writings of the Florentine art historian Filippo Baldinucci (1624–1671) remain understudied.1 This lack of scrutiny extends to his critical investigation of the lives of artists in the Notizie de’ Professori del Disegno, published after 1681. Meanwhile, his other important project, the Vocabolario Toscano dell’ Arte del Disegno, has frequently been dismissed as nothing more than a vehicle for him to gain access to the Accademia della Crusca.2 Baldinucci’s minor writings, the Lettera a Vincenzo Capponi (1681), the Lettera a Lorenzo Gualtieri (1682), La Veglia: Dialogo di Sincerio Veri (1684), and the Lezione per l’Accademia del Disegno (1691) have received even less critical attention.3 As a consequence, our image of Baldinucci as an art theorist is highly contradictory: while some scholars reject the idea that Baldinucci’s writings embody significant theoretical or methodological advancement, others think that his historical approach is rigorous and therefore more ›modern‹ than that of his predecessor Giorgio Vasari.4 I propose that the reason for such dissonant evaluations lies in the historical and methodological framework applied to Baldinucci’s projects, in particular the attention given to studying these projects through the lens of a traditional concept of the Baroque. The traditional view of the Baroque includes a demand for rhetorical brilliance and idealistic aesthetics best represented by Baldinucci’s Roman colleague Giovanni Pietro Bellori in his Le Vite de’ pittori, scultori ed architetti moderni, often called »the Bible of seventeenth-century art history.«5 In contrast, I study Baldinucci’s writings in the context of contemporary developments in Floren- tine natural philosophy.

  • The Cambridge Companion to Seventeenth-Century Opera Edited by Jacqueline Waeber Frontmatter More Information
    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-82359-3 — The Cambridge Companion to Seventeenth-Century Opera Edited by Jacqueline Waeber Frontmatter More Information The Cambridge Companion to Seventeenth-Century Opera The Cambridge Companion to Seventeenth-Century Opera is a much-needed introduction to one of the most defining areas of Western music history - the birth of opera and its developments during the first century of its existence. From opera’s Italian foundations to its growth through Europe and the Americas, the volume charts the changing landscape – on stage and beyond – which shaped the way opera was produced and received. With a range from opera’s sixteenth-century antecedents to the threshold of the eighteenth cen- tury, this path-breaking book is broad enough to function as a comprehensive introduction, yet sufficiently detailed to offer valuable insights into most of early opera’s many facets; it guides the reader towards authoritative written and musical sources appropriate for further study. It will be of interest to a wide audience, including undergraduate and graduate students in universities and equivalent institutions, and amateur and professional musicians. is Associate Professor of Music at Duke University, North Carolina.

Author: Goudriaan, Elisa Johanna Title: The cultural importance of Florentine patricians. Cultural exchange, brokerage networks, and social representation in early modern Florence and Rome (1600-1660) Issue Date: 2015-04-30 Medici princes, patricians, and cultural academies 173 4 The shared cultural world of the Medici princes and the Florentine patricians: musical performances, European networks, and cultural academies Introduction In the first part of this chapter we see how the cultural worlds of the Medici princes and the patricians related to each other, as the latter functioned as tu- tors and chamberlains for the former and in these roles supervised the Medici’s cultural projects and academies (as vice-patrons). This is illustrated especially by the rich correspondence found in the Niccolini-archive between Filippo Nic- colini, vice-patron of the Sorgenti-academy protected by Prince Giovan Carlo de’ Medici, and the Roman musicians Marco Marazzoli and Giuseppe Vannucci. This correspondence demonstrates that the close contact Florentine patricians had with important artists and musicians led to many cultural innovations. In addition to this, attention is given to the relation between Don Giovanni de’ Medici and the members of the Alterati-academy, and to the many patricians who played a role in Leopoldo de’ Medici’s network of cultural agents. Together the Medici princes and the patricians supported a large cultural world with many connections to other cities. 174 Chapter Four In the second part, we see how the Medici princes were actively involved in the cultural academies they patronized.

Lecturer of Music A HUMANISTIC READING OF GASPAR SANZ’S INSTRVCCION DE MVSICA SOBRE LA GVITARRA ESPAnOLA Lars Christian Rosager San Francisco, California, USA May 2016 ABSTRACT The purpose of this thesis is to locate traces of humanism in the 1674 method book of Aragonese guitarist Gaspar Sanz, Instruction de Mvsica sobre la Gvitarra Espanola (Musical instruction for the Spanish guitar). Building connections from Sanz back through the history of Spanish humanism, this text presents a unique interpretation of the early Spanish guitar, an instrument inseparable from the liberation and secularization of the Western European intellect. Beginning with background on the guitar and humanism separately, this thesis links the two subjects through an analysis of Instruction in nine chapters dedicated to the front matter of Sanz’s method book, its didactic guidelines, and its music. The impact of language and writing on the sociological image of the guitar comprises one of the most prominent recurring ideas.
