  • 1 the Palazzo, Collections, and Musical Patronage of Niccolò Gaddi
    The Palazzo, Collections, and Musical Patronage of Niccolò Gaddi (1536-91) Laura Moretti This article examines the collection of musical instruments and music books (both published editions and manuscripts) belonging to the Florentine Niccolò di Sinibaldo Gaddi. One of the greatest collectors and patrons of the arts of his time, in the 1570s and 1580s he organized and fit out one of the largest private collections of the era in the so-called casa dell’orto. Today it is possible to reconstruct not only the scope of his collections but also the breadth of his incredibly rich library thanks to an unpublished inventory from 1628 and analyses of other primary sources. Around forty musical instruments and a group of one hundred and thirty volumes of printed and manuscript music books were among the thousands of objects exhibited. The identification of several of them has made it possible to advance new hypotheses on the contributions made to the collection by various members of the family. Niccolò di Sinibaldo Gaddi was one of the greatest collectors and patrons of the arts in Florence in the second half of the sixteenth century (Fig. 1).1 He was the last descendent of a family that had played a leading role in the political, religious and cultural life of the city for over four centuries, and was able to boast among its members the painters Gaddo (c.1239-c.1312), Taddeo (c.1290-1366) and Agnolo (c.1350-96), the secretary of the Florentine Republic, Francesco (1441-1504), and the cardinals Niccolò (1490-1552), Giovanni (1493-1542), Taddeo (1520-61)

  • The Medici Court and the Development of Italian Madrigal: a Study of the Contributions of Music Patronage in the 16Th Century
    Journal of Taipei Municipal University of Education, Vol.37, No.2, (Nov. 2006) 31~56 31 Humanities & Arts The Medici Court and the Development of Italian Madrigal: A Study of the Contributions of Music Patronage in the 16th Century Shun-Mei Tsai* Abstract The Medici family, who was one of the important music patrons in Florence, Italy, held its political and social power for more than three hundred years. Members of the family were not only the international renowned merchants, but also became major religious leader and Royal court members. The present study centers on the importance of the musical patronage that the Medici court supported during the sixteenth century, a period that the Medici family occupied the most influential power in Florence. The research focuses on the early development of the Italian madrigal which was directly connected to the contribution from the Medici court. The discussion includes the court musicians, the music programs of the court festivities, and the patronage system during this era. The Medici family was neither an aristocracy nor Royal monarchy, however, their positions as the artistic patron made fruitful music life for the Florentine citizens. The musical patronage has made significant contributions for the development of new musical genres, madrigal and opera as well.

Master of Music (Musicology), August 2001, 93 pp., 2 tables, 12 illustrations, references, 53 titles. Although music publishing in Italy was on the decline around the turn of the seventeenth century, Venice emerged as one of the most prolific publishing centers of secular song in Italy throughout the first three decades of the 1600s. Many Venetian song collections were printed with alfabeto, a chordal tablature designed to facilitate even the most untrained of musicians with the necessary tools for accompanying singers on the fashionable five-course Spanish guitar. Carlo Milanuzzi’s Quarto Scherzo (1624) stands out among its contemporary Venetian song collections with alfabeto as an anthology of Venetian secular songs, including compositions by Miniscalchi, Berti, and Claudio and Francesco Monteverdi. Issues surrounding its publication, instrumentation, and musical and poetic style not only contribute to the understanding of Venetian Baroque monody, but also help to construe a repertory of vocal music with defining characteristics usually associated with popular music of the 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries.

However, the surviving documents that record the presence of northern musicians and repertory in Italian centers say very little about the daily activities and duties of these musicians, and they are silent about professional contacts, if any, they may have had be- yond what we imagine to be the fairly circumscribed courtly and ecclesi- astical institutions that were the primary sources of their patronage.

  • Madrigal (Music) 1 Madrigal (Music)
    Madrigal (music) 1 Madrigal (music) A madrigal is a secular vocal music composition, usually a partsong, of the Renaissance and early Baroque eras. Traditionally, polyphonic madrigals are unaccompanied; the number of voices varies from two to eight, and most frequently from three to six. Madrigals originated in Italy during the 1520s. Unlike many strophic forms of the time, most madrigals were through-composed. In the madrigal, the composer attempted to express the emotion contained in each line, and sometimes individual words, of a celebrated poem. The madrigal originated in part from the frottola, in part from the resurgence in interest in vernacular Italian poetry, and also from the influence of the French chanson and polyphonic style of the motet as written by the Franco-Flemish composers who had naturalized in Italy during the period. A frottola generally would consist of music set to stanzas of text, while madrigals were through-composed. However, some of the same poems were used for both frottola and madrigals.[1] The poetry of Petrarch in particular shows up in a wide variety of genres.[1] The madrigal is related mostly by name alone to the Italian trecento madrigal of the late 13th and 14th centuries.[2] In Italy, the madrigal was the most important secular form of music of its time. The madrigal reached its formal and historical zenith by the second half of the 16th century. English and German composers, too, took up the madrigal in its heyday. After the 1630s, the madrigal began to merge with the cantata and the dialogue. With the rise of opera in the early 17th century, the aria gradually displaced the madrigal.[3] History Origins and early madrigals In the early 16th century, several humanistic trends converged which allowed the madrigal to form.

  • Music for Trombone and Voice from the Hapsburg Empire: an Historical Overview with Tenor Trombone Transcriptions
    Abstract Title of dissertation: MUSIC FOR TROMBONE AND VOICE FROM THE HAPSBURG EMPIRE: AN HISTORICAL OVERVIEW WITH TENOR TROMBONE TRANSCRIPTIONS Wayne W. Wells, Doctor of Musica l Arts, 2005 Dissertation directed by: Professor Gregory Mill er School of Music Compositions featuring voice and obbligato trombone reached a n artistic peak in the courts and monasteries of 18th century Austria due to the convergence of s everal factors. These factors included the influence of Giovanni Gabri eli and the many northern Italian composers who worked at the Austrian courts, the long history of religious connotations of the trombone in Germany and Austria , the high level of trombone playing in the courts of 18th century Vienna and Salzburg , and the unique ability of the trombone to blend with voices. This document explores the rich history of the trombone and charts the evolution of soloistic trombone writing in vocal music, from the innovations of large scale works by Gabrieli and Schütz to the highly virtuosic obbligato writing of composers in 18th century Austrian monasteries and the courts of Vienna and Salzburg. This exploration takes place through discussion of general trends in trombone writing as well as by examination of specific selected pieces that illustrate interesting or unique stylistic features. The document accompanies recordings of two recitals of Austrian and German music for trombone and voice from the 17th and 18th centuries. The r ecitals include several transcriptions of music originally written for alto trombone and alto voice into keys that would be suitable for performance by tenor trombone and tenor voice. This was done with the goal of sparking interest in this repertoire by less experienced trombonists.
