The source is the score of the original edition: CANTATE / ARIETTE, E DUETTI / DI / BARBARA STROZZI / Opera Seconda. / CONSECRATA / ALLA CESAREA MAESTA / DI FERDINANDO TERZO / [graphic] / In Venetia appresso al Gardano Con Licenza, e Privilegio, 1651. Spellings have been normalized and punctuation added. Capitalization of first words in lines of poetry has been added. Accidentals are those of the original source. Strozzi was meticulous in marking each accidental, including on the same pitch multiple times within a measure. The care she takes is reflected here by maintaining those accidentals within the staff. Any added editorial accidental is enclosed in parentheses. Sections are noted in the original with the symbol : : which is here retained. It does not represent a repeat. In pieces where sections change with a new meter, a light double bar has been added for clarity. Slurs are retained from the original without editorial additions. Barlines in the original score tend to follow phrasing rather than strict musical beats. Here editorial dashed barlines serve to maintain modern barring practice. ST 2.16d © 2014 Cor Donato Editions.

  • Seriale, Immersivo, Industriale. Il Barocco E L'invenzione Del
    Mediascapes journal 7/2016 Seriale, immersivo, industriale. Il barocco e l’invenzione del melodramma* Donatella Capaldi** Sapienza Università di Roma Giovanni Ragone*** Sapienza Università di Roma Archetypes of modernity are to be recognized in serial media developed during the first half of XVII century, when a proto-metropolitan social universe was evolving. According to a mediological standpoint, the case study of baroque opera allows to identify the basic characters of consumer genres, and to define connections among serialization, immersivity, virtualization, polisensoriality, hypertextuality, ibridation, chain and work organization, with a special focus on mass audience and on creative reuse of collective imaginary and metaphors. Baroque opera, created for public theatre with admission ticket, was the second pole of an entertainment integrated system consisting of the romance, with its “horizontal” and hypertextual attitude, and of the melodrama, with its immediate and fusional setup: i.e. romance and opera like the ancestors of radio-television fiction and cinema. The birth and rise of the medium “opera” needs to be historicized in the frame of a complex environment study: Venice, as the Italian capital of a cultural proto-industry; the Incogniti Academy as the most important European publishing and entertainment laboratory; and finally, the situation of freedom from censorship, which permitted to libertine network, with its special European relations, to produce new experimental genres often being heterodox on ethical and religious grounds. Keywords: Series. Immersivity. Baroque. Opera. Cultural Industry Primo scenario: il barocco seriale e immersivo La mediamorfosi procede per ibridazioni, conflitti, egemonie e instabili equilibri tra ambienti di vita, soggettività, tecnologie, mitologie, e potere.

  • Incoronazione Di Poppea *
    B USENELLO’ S S ECRET H ISTORY: An allegorical reading of L’incoronazione di Poppea * By Magnus Tessing Schneider The 1623 publication of Procopius’ Secret History shocked the scholarly world. The ancient historian’s rejection of his official account of the reign of Justinian I forced humanists to reflect on the general reliability of historical sources. The article suggests that Giovan Francesco Busenello’s libretto L’incoronazione di Poppea (1643) reflects the challenge posed by Procopius’ book. Though its portrayal of historical figures adheres to Tacitus’ Annals, it plays with the possibility that even Tacitus himself was deceived by Machiavellian rulers. Did he, for example, condemn Nero and Poppaea while praising Octavia because this was the truth, or because Octavia was, in fact, a superior politician who had managed to craft a favourable epitaph for herself? Nerone innamorato di Poppea, ch’era moglie di Ottone, lo mandò sotto pretesto d’ambasciaria in Lusitania per godersi la cara diletta, così rappresenta Cornelio Tacito. Ma quì si rappresenta il fatto diverso. Ottone, disperato nel vedersi privo di Poppea, dà nei deliri e nelle esclamazioni. Ottavia, moglie di Nerone, ordina ad Ottone che sveni Poppea. Ottone promette farlo; ma non bastandogli l’animo di levar la vita all’adorata Poppea, si traveste con l’abito di Drusilla ch’era innamorata di lui. Così travestito entra nel giardino di Poppea. Amore disturba e impedisce quella morte. Nerone ripudia Ottavia, nonostante i consigli di Seneca, e prende per moglie Poppea. Seneca more, e Ottavia vien discacciata da Roma.1 Nero, in love with Poppaea, Otho’s wife, sent the latter to Lusitania under the pretext of an ambassadorship in order to enjoy his dearly beloved.

  • The Possibility of Opera
    7 The Possibility of Opera In the performances of the Prologue of Orfeo, as staged by Luca Ronconi (see chapter 3), and of Combattimento, as staged by Pierre Audi (chapter 6), a char- acter at first represents the narrator — La Musica in the former case, Testo in the latter one. Both characters assert their presences through musical, verbal, and scenic effects. At a later phase — respectively, in the third and seventh strophes of their settings — La Musica and Testo also emerge as focalizing agents, their func- tion as narrators gradually receding into the background in order to “give life” to focalized characters — respectively, Orpheus and Tancredi/Clorinda. Clorinda becomes so autonomous a character as to herself become a focalizer at the end. Under this perspective, both performances can be said to stage the birth of musi- cal theater, and in the second case, we might add, out of the spirit of the madrigal. The madrigal is traditionally dominated by the narrator’s voice, diffused into the polyphonic concentus. But in the hands of Monteverdi, particularly in his Books V to VIII, the madrigal becomes the privileged site for the performance of a plurality of points of view. Characters come to life intermittently even despite their absence from the verbal text as such, thanks, for example, to the focalizing role played by instruments in concertato madrigals. Still, the narrator remains the ever-present voice (in narrative terms) that is audible and visible mostly in the continuo line, but also intermittently in individual voices (in physical terms) such as the bass — this was a traditional conduit of the “speaker” since Arcadelt.

Finding Their Voice: Women Musicians of Baroque Italy Faith Poynor emale musicians began to achieve greater freedom and indepen- dence from men during the Baroque period, and their music and Fcreative talent consequently began to flourish. Due to the rise in popularity of female vocal ensembles that resulted after the establishment of the con- certo delle donne in 1580, women composers in early modern Italy gained greater access to musical training previously only available to men or nuns. As seen by the works of composers and singers such as Francesca Caccini and Barbara Strozzi, this led to an unprecedented increase in women’s mu- sical productivity, particularly in vocal music. The rise of female vocal ensembles in the early Baroque period was a pivotal moment in women’s music history, as women finally achieved wide- spread recognition for their talents as musicians.

Gondek, Chair The fictional women presented to the public on the opera stages and in the noble houses of Italy during the seventeenth century did not resemble the societal feminine ideal of chastity, silence, obedience, and humility; on the contrary, they were strong-willed, eloquent, powerful, and sexually sentient. This dissertation will examine a few of the principal female characters from a selected number of early seventeenth-century operas and explore what these women represented in context of the patriarchal, highly misogynistic societies in which they were constructed. Furthermore, I will consider the implications of this information for issues of modern performance practice, and for the representation of these female characters in modern reproductions of the operas. Finally, I will discuss the influences of this research on my final DMA recital, a program of seventeenth-century arias and songs which personified the female stereotypes presented in this dissertation.

  • Giulio Strozzi, La Venetia Edificata
    GIULIO STROZZI: La Venetia edificata … Poema eroico (Venedig 1624). Das 11. Kapitel zur Personifikation der ‚Kunst’ und zur Galleria del Cielo herausgegeben und eingeleitet von ULRICH PFISTERER FONTES 10 [1. August 2008] Zitierfähige URL: http://archiv.ub.uni-heidelberg.de/artdok/volltexte/2008/449 Aus Liebe zu Venedig lebte und starb Giulio Strozzi (1583 – 31. März 1652) nicht nur in dieser seiner Wahlheimat, sondern verfaßte auch ein „wohlgefälliges Gedicht“ über die Ursprünge der Lagungenstadt, ihre Erbauung, Bedrohung durch den Einfall der Hunnen unter Attila und den folgenden Aufstieg zu ungeahnter Größe – so die abschließende Würdigung Strozzis in der kurzen Lebensbeschreibung, die Gian Vittorio Rossi im dritten Teil seiner Pinacotheca Imaginum Illustrium 1648 mitteilte.1 Sieht man von der bereits ein Jahr zuvor erschienen Vita Strozzis im Rahmen der Zusammenstellung aller Huomini illustri dell’Accademia dei Signori Incogniti ab2, ist danach zu Strozzi und seinem Versepos La Venetia edificata erst wieder in jüngster Zeit vor allem von Massimiliano Rossi geschrieben worden.3 Giulio wurde als unehelicher Sohn des (ebenfalls unehelich geborenen) Florentiner Bankiers Roberto Strozzi geboren, vom Vater anerkannt und in der Kindheit mit nach Venedig genommen, wo sich der Vater aus Geschäftsgründen aufhielt. Nach einem Jura-Studium an der Universität Pisa lebte Giulio als junger Mann in Rom, übersetzte dort erstmals 1608 den Lazarillo de Tormes ins Italienische, wurde im Laufe der Zeit Mitglied „aller berühmten Akademien Italiens“ und

  • Rachel Rubin C'17, ” Barbara Strozzi's Feminine Influence on the Cantata
    Barbara Strozzi’s Feminine Influence on the Cantata in 17th-Century Venice Rachel Rubin (CLA 2017) Abstract In this paper, I will be discussing how Venetian composer Barbara Strozzi (1619-1677) achieved success in the seventeenth century through publication. She is recognized today as one of the earliest composers to write and publish cantatas in such high quantities, though her accomplishments were not met without difficulty. Attaining recognition in the male-dominated musical culture of the Baroque era was a massive undertaking for a woman and required Strozzi to manipulate resources granted to her by her father’s social status. However, it was her own relentless ambition that ultimately propelled her to fame. As such, she paved the way for female composers and continues to inspire with her legacy. Analysis of her piece, Lagrime mie from Diporti di Euterpe, published in 1659, reveals a highly refined use of expressive techniques to convey the powers of song and sorrow. Her affinity for emotional expression combined with her sophisticated understanding of the human voice create a powerful yet sensitive tone in this piece. Given the physical evidence, Strozzi’s success through publication is undeniable, though it was her bold pursuit for recognition that allowed her to break gender stereotypes, making her feats all the more impressive. 187 Introduction Barbara Strozzi (1619-1677) was both a highly praised composer and vocal performer of the seventeenth century. She made significant contributions to Venetian arias and ariettas but is most widely recognized as one of the earliest composers, male or female, to write cantatas in such high numbers (Timms).
