  • Exploring Canzone Napoletana and Southern Italian Migration Through Three Lenses
    Exploring Canzone Napoletana and Southern Italian Migration Through Three Lenses John L. Vitale Preamble and Purpose As a first-generation Italian-Canadian, the southern Italian immigrant experience has figured centrally in my upbringing. I have vivid memories of the rich and vibrant conversations that transpired at the dinner table every day. There were countless tales of my parents’ childhood, which included living in impoverished conditions and surviving the devastation of the Second World War. Other common topics of conversation included crossing the Atlantic, being separated from family, and the daily struggles of immigrating to an English-speaking country. At the very core of these conversations, however, was music, particularly the form of popular song that emanated out of Naples in the 19th and 20th centuries, otherwise known as the canzone napoletana. These songs of love, laughter, sorrow, and pain—famous the world over— have always been a genuine and sincere portal into the heart, mind, and soul of the southern Italian immigrant experience in Canada. The purpose of this article is threefold. First, through a biographical lens, this article investigates my own personal experiences as a first-generation Italian-Canadian and explores how post-World War II southern Italian immigrants in Toronto, Canada used the canzone napoletana as a coping mechanism for the daily hardships and struggles of immigrant life. Second, through the lens of the Italian Diaspora, this article investigates how Neapolitan song became the metaphorical voice for the vast majority of southern Italian immigrants around the world. Lastly, through the lens of non-Italians, this article examines how the canzone napoletana influenced non-Italian perceptions about Italy on a global scale.

  • Storia Disordinata Della Canzone Napoletana Nel 187° Anniversario Della Nascita Di Teodoro Cottrau
    edizione Università Popolare 2014 Biellese Storia disordinata della canzone napoletana nel 187° anniversario della nascita di Teodoro Cottrau Biella, Chiesa di S. Nicola al Vernato mercoledì 18 giugno ore 21.00 Magnano, Chiesa di S. Marta venerdì 20 giugno ore 21.00 Comune di Magnano Pro Loco di Magnano Storia disordinata della canzone napoletana nel 187° anniversario della nascita di Teodoro Cottrau Dal 2011 i laboratori musicali di UPBeduca hanno portato in scena alcuni concerti-spettacoli, puntando sulla narrazione musicale di storie ed eventi. Quest’anno si è deciso di affrontare il tema della canzone napoletana, non solo quella “d’autore” consegnataci dai grandi interpreti del passato e del presente ma attingendo anche alla tradizione anteriore a quel fatidico 1839 che con Te voglio bene assaie segna lo spartiacque tra la tradizione, appunto, e quel che ne è seguito. Le scelte musicali sono cadute su titoli noti e altri meno noti al grande pubblico, collocati sia aldilà che aldiqua dello spartiacque, in una sorta del voluto, ma controllato, “disordine” che dà il titolo allo spettacolo. Scelte “disordinate” che non voglio chiarire oltre: l’ascoltatore se ne faccia una ragione cercando di cogliere i sottintesi, aiutandosi anche con gli intermezzi poetici. Affrontando tale spettacolo, la sfida è stata come sempre musicale, ma ancor più “linguistica”: non è proprio cosa così usuale che voci piemontesi si cimentino con la lingua napoletana... Le edizioni adottate sono quelle originali che, sia testualmente che musicalmente, si scostano da quelle correnti. Non vi sono i “rigonfiamenti” e gli abbellimenti introdotti all’inizio del Novecento e alcuni termini sono caduti in disuso, tanto da essere oggi di difficile comprensione anche per chi il napoletano lo conosce e lo parla.

  • Napoli E La Sua Canzone Ii
    http://www.eleaml.org – Luglio 2013 NAPOLI E LA SUA CANZONE II. L' ULTIMO CANTO. La canzone napoletana, degenerata, come abbiamo visto in rapido esame, noi pletorici sdilinquimenti di tutta una turba di belatori volgari, invocava urgentemente la sua purificazione. E a purificarla venne un poeta. Chi, come me, ricorda la ribellione dei ranocchi del pantano genoiniano, determinatasi alla discesa di Salvatore di Giacomo sul campo della letteratura napoletana, può bene intendere e vagliare i benefici apportati da codesto elegante riformatore alla nostra poesia casalinga. Bendici di forma e di sostanza: ingentilimento di veste e calor di vita. Trovò il di Giacomo al suo apparire l'anima paesana agonizzante nell'adipe abbondantissimo di una retorica triviale e goffa; andò per case e piazze e chiassuoli, e in quelli ambienti respirò aria muffita, ma scorse una siepe inesplorata di sentimento, appena intuita, più che avvistata, da Velardiniello e da Marco d'Arienzo; intese il poeta tutta la bellezza di un'opera di epurazione e di esplorazione: ossigeno e indagine; e a quella si accinse, armato di grande volontà e di buona coltura. La reazione era inevitabile: tutti i fanatici del «vecchio stile» insorsero contro l'innovatore, e videro, naturalmente, nell'opera di lui una profanazione scellerata e una rivoluzione violenta. Che cosa voleva e di dove era sbucato quel giovanotto, che aveva tutta l'aria dello sbarazzino, e andava per le vie della città arditamente, col bavero del matiné rialzato fino a toccare il sincipite, le mani nelle saccocce dei calzoni a maglia, il cappellino floscio di sghembo, il mozzicone di sigaretta fra le labbra, e due occhi dai quali tralucevano una volontà insolente, una ostentazione di suffìsance e una preoccupante melanconia? Credeva, forse, quel piccolo uomo, scappato alla scuola universitaria di medicina e penetrato di fresco nel cenacolo giornalistico di.

  • Sing Your City: Local Stories of Global Artifacts
    Sociology Study, March 2019, Vol. 9, No. 3, 116-127 doi: 10.17265/2159-5526/2019.03.004 D DAVID PUBLISHING Sing Your City: Local Stories of Global Artifacts Alexander Rosenblatt Zefat Academic College, Zefat, Israel The article discusses five local stories that, without being connected to each other, tell about the socio-cultural circumstances accompanying creation of works of art that have received significant (but not the highest) recognition on a global scale. The discussion concerns three songs about cities: Torna a Surriento, Moscow Nights, and Li Beirut; a famous Soviet painting Low Marks Again; and the design features of Audi cars for the US market over the past decade. The approach to each certain artifact, be it song, painting, or the design of rear turn signals, is developed on the basis of disciplinary affiliation, whereas a discipline is more sociology, anthropology, or history of an appropriate art, than its theory. Another research method places a local context into the test tube of globalization. Experience shows that these two methods are applicable to different arts, places, and periods enriching the scientist with more detailed information about the era studied. Keywords: global artifact, second echelon, songs about cities, dog in a painting, rear turn signals Introduction Life in a global era dictates its own laws. One of those is undoubtedly the increasing level of standardization of life, especially in cities, and even more so in megacities. Houses, apartments, cars, food, and work—all this is almost unified. Nature and weather seem to strongly resist standardization, although the microclimate in residential, industrial, and commercial premises, as well in cars, is practically equalizing this part of the differences in the lives of people at different continents and latitudes.

This impact was clearly boosted by the revolution realized in the fledgling recording industry, and the recordable disc. In the years of 1902-1920, gramophones became commonplace, and collecting recordings became a growing interest for many. This new technology required specialized skills, and was especially suited to certain qualities of voice. Caruso enjoyed immense success in this medium, in recording over 250 records. Italian vocal style at the turn of the century was changing, and Caruso employed a new “modern” style in his singing. His interpretive decisions, vocal method, and repertoire which he championed had an impact on the vocal tradition of future generations. Comparison of his recordings with tenors Fernando De Lucia, Giuseppe Anselmi, and Alessandro Bonci shows a marked contrast in styles of “the old school” and Caruso’s “more straightforward” approach.

Существует то общее, что связывает воедино классическую Неаполитанскую песню с итальянской, и это – пение Эллинов, греческая песня, которая передава- лась изустно через «а ffronne» – напевы, в которых узнается музыкальный строй Древней Греции (Дорийского, Фригийского и Лидийского тетрахордов). Неаполитанская песня представляет собой важный объект культурного наследия города; один из его элементов, наиболее известных во всем мире. Нет такого дру- гого места, где процесс идентификации между городом и его музыкально– поэтической традицией являлся бы настолько полным и завершенным, где он настолько глубоко укоренен в его истории и повседневной жизни обитателей. Неаполитанская песня как жанр возникла в XIX веке как результат долгого куль- турно–исторического развития, начатого в XIII веке с «Канто делле лавандайе дель Вомеро» – Песни вомерских прачек, и связанного с массовым переселением крестьян, обусловившим связь деревенской и городской культур. В репертуарах исполнителей легкого жанра тогда появились и первые фрагменты на итальянском языке, и первые итальянские песни. Все они были написаны в Неаполе, потому что именно там, и только там до 1920 года в Италии создавались песни. В Неаполе работали авторы и издатели, которые затем разъезжались по всей стране, выступая в самых знаменитых кафе и театрах. Ключевые слова: музыка, музыкальная культура, Неаполитанская песня, культура Неаполя, культура Италии, древнегреческая музыка. C. CARBONE musician, philologist and musicologist (Naples) ECHOES OF THE MEDITERRANEAN. FROM NEAPOLITAN MUSIC TO THE ITALIAN SONG. There is a common thread that ties together the classic Neapolitan song to the Italian one, and that is the Hellenic song that has been passed down orally through the «a ffronne» chants where we can identify the scales of the music of Ancient Greece (Dori- an, Phrygian and Lydian tetrachords).
