  • The Vocal Duets of G. F. Handel and His Italian Contemporaries (C. 1706–1724)
    3. Dramatic Duet 3. 1. defInItIons, typoLogIes and methodoLogy This third chapter (at the same time also the second main part of this study) devotes itself to the dramatic duets by Handel and his Italian contemporar- ies in the period 1706–1724, with occasional excursions into earlier years all the way back to 1690 for comparative purposes, in order to see how the way some of these composers wrote duets developed up to the main period in question. As such it will concentrate on duets in the various Italian vocal dramatic genres already outlined in Chapter 1.2, but the fo- cus will be on opera duets. The reasons for this are not only that they are usually the most numerous dramatic duets in the opuses of the composers under question due to the status of opera as a genre, but also their public nature, which facilitates the investigation of context. It is also impossible to avoid certain key issues in the development of opera seria, the genre to which most of the duets examined in this chapter belong. Reference sources repeat these slightly commonplace but nonetheless true topoi on ensembles in opera of the first half of the 18th century: Reforms to the opera seria in the early 18th century (reducing the number of characters) […] made ensembles rarer in serious genres, Typologies and Methodology / 3. 1. Definitions, but they remained important in comic works and it is there that they attracted the richest and most varied treatment. During the first half of the 18th century the duet was the most common ensemble in all types of opera, typically for the main lovers in strong emotional situations.

  • Les Italiens Et La Vie Musicale À Paris (1640-1750)
    Les Italiens et la vie musicale à Paris (1640-1750) Colloque international 30 novembre, 1er et 2 décembre 2017 École nationale des chartes Salle Léopold-Delisle 65 Rue de Richelieu • 75002 Paris Les Italiens et la vie musicale à Paris (1640-1750) Au cours des dernières décennies, la réception de la musique italienne dans les lieux de musique parisiens entre le ministère de Mazarin et le règne de Louis XV a suscité nombre de travaux qui ont donné à ce phénomène une plus juste visibilité dans l’histoire de la vie musicale française. Plus récemment encore, des programmes de recherche collectifs, interdisciplinaires et internationaux ont revisité l’histoire des circulations musicales, de ses objets et de ses acteurs à l’époque moderne. Dans le prolongement de cette historiographie double- ment renouvelée, plusieurs champs d’enquête portant sur les dynamiques de diffusion et de réception de la musique italienne dans la capitale du royaume de France entre les années 1640 (période où l’on représente les premiers opéras à la Cour) et les années 1750, quand éclate la querelle des Bouffons, méritent d’être explorés à nouveaux frais ou d’être approfondis. Ce colloque se propose notamment d’aborder les axes thématiques suivants : la circulation des sources musicales ita- liennes (conditions matérielles, réseaux et mobilité des artistes italiens), les modalités d’appropriation artistique du répertoire (représentations scéniques, pratiques d’interprétation), les questions littéraires et iconographiques.

  • Unknown Senesino: Francesco Bernardi's Vocal Profile and Dramatic Portrayal, 1700-1740 Randall Scotting Submitted in Fulfilmen
    Unknown Senesino: Francesco Bernardi’s Vocal Profile and Dramatic Portrayal, 1700-1740 Randall Scotting Submitted in fulfilment of degree requirements for the Doctor of Philosophy at the Royal College of Music, London March 2018 Abstract Francesco Bernardi (known as Senesino: 1686-1759) is recognised as one of the most prominent singers of the eighteenth century. With performing credits throughout Europe, he was viewed as a contralto castrato of incredible technical accomplishment in voice and dramatic portrayal. Yet, even considering his fame, success, and frequent and prominent scandals, Senesino has remained little-researched today. The eighteen operas newly composed by George Frideric Handel (1685-1759) for him have been the primary reference sources which define current views of Senesino’s voice.1 For example, regarding the singer’s vocal range, Winton Dean states the following based on Charles Burney’s account of Senesino: ‘His compass in Handel was narrow (g to e″ at its widest, but the g appears very rarely, and many of his parts, especially in later years, do not go above d″) [… ] Quantz’s statement that he had ‘a low mezzo-soprano voice, which seldom went higher than f ″’ probably refers to his earliest years.’2 Dean’s assessment is incomplete and provides an inaccurate sense of Senesino’s actual vocal range, which, in fact, extended beyond his cited range to g''. The upper reaches of Senesino’s voice were not only utilised in his ‘earliest years’ but throughout the entirety of his career. Operas such as Giulio Cesare, Rodelinda, and Orlando account for only a small portion of the 112 operatic works in which the singer is known to have performed during his forty years on stage.3 This thesis expands perceptions of Senesino’s vocal range and aspects of technical skill in vocal and dramatic portrayal to provide an informed sense of the singer from the time of his operatic début to his final years performing.

Er war in der Tat der Over the past several decades, the operas of Francesco Cavalli (1602–1676) have become increasingly in demand in theaters around the world, an interest stimulated in part by the overwhelming popular success of the operas of Claudio Monteverdi, Cavalli’s great predecessor and teacher. Whereas Monteverdi’s extant operas are only three, Cavalli’s number nearly thirty. Indeed, he was the most prolifi c and important opera composer of the seventeenth century, and it was his works that set the stage for the subsequent development of opera as a genre.
