  • Orpheus: Cinematic (And Operatic) Evocations
    Orpheus: Cinematic (and Operatic) Evocations A number of cinematic productions have featured ancient pagan concepts of death and the afterlife, e.g. The Mummy (1932); Gladiator (2000). Within this sub-corpus, those involving Orpheus have a particular signature that began developing in the Renaissance. Poliziano’s Fabula di Orfeo (c. 1480) synthesized the Vergilian and Ovidian accounts into a pastoral drama. (Segal, 1989) Two early seventeenth century operas, the Rinuccini/Peri Euridice (1600) and the Striggio/Monteverdi L’Orfeo (1607), accommodated Baroque court patronage by refitting the tragic story with a deus ex machina-engendered happy ending. In a political denouement, the Parisian Buti/Rossi Orfeo (1647) pleased the French court by comparing Orpheus’ lyre to the royal fleur-de-lis. Considered together with the popular Halévy/Offenbach operetta, Orphée aux enfers (1858), which features an unhappily married Orpheus and Eurydice, the cumulative effect of such high-profile dramatized adaptations of the Orpheus myth was to transform its original tragic outcome and expand its dramaturgical potential with updated artistic, philosophical, and political themes. The early decades of the twentieth century contributed a dense cluster of equally innovative Orpheus operatic productions leading to Jean Cocteau‘s one-act tragédie, Orphée (1926), revised in 1950 as the first film featuring Orpheus. In his 1973 essay Du Cinématographe, Cocteau revealed his artistic reason for selecting Orpheus as his protagonist: (Cocteau, 1992) Nobody can believe in a famous poet whose name has been invented by a writer. I had to find a mythical bard, the bard of bards, the Bard of Thrace. And his story is so enchanting that it would be crazy to look for another.

  • Chapter 7: Humanism and the Emergence of Opera in Italy: 1590–1640
    Chapter 7: Humanism and the Emergence of Opera in Italy: 1590–1640 I. Introduction A. Groups of humanists flourished in Italy during the Baroque period. 1. New ideas included stile rappresentativo (representational style), monody, and recitative. 2. Early plays featuring music in this new manner included intermedia (singular: intermedio). Musical plays called favola in musica (fable in music) are now considered the first operas. B. An important figure was Claudio Monteverdi, who explored the seconda pratica (second practice), claiming, “the words are the master of the music.” II. The Baroque era A. The word Baroque is used to cover music from 1600 to 1750. It was applied to music later and used to describe the music as overly decorated and ornate. 1. It could be referred to as the Italian age because most of the musical innovations during the time took place in Italy. It could be called the Galilean period, because of Galileo Galilei’s work, along with other developments in science, or the Cartesian period after Descartes. 2. Theatrical age, instrumental age, and continuo age could also apply because of developments. III. Humanism and the Greek past A. During the sixteenth century, academies formed in Italy, modeled loosely on the academies of ancient Greece. B. The most important academy was in Florence. 1. This group considered the performance of Greek drama and poetry a musical event. 2. These ideas were adopted by a group of humanists known as the Camerata. IV. Monody and the representational style A. Galilei thought that music should represent the meaning or emotion. 1.

  • Cocteau En La Cerámica
    Jean Cocteau «en la cerámica» Cocteau y la cerámica Cocteau et la céramique 25 Explicación Castellano Explicación frances 25 Jean Cocteau nació en París en1889 y como muchos hombres de esa época, aún es joven cuando descubre la guerra y su séquito de horrores. En 1916, a su vuelta del frente, llega a París y frecuenta a los artistas e intelectuales de Montparnasse, donde conoce, entre otros, a Pablo Picasso, Guillaume Apollinaire, Max Jacob, etc. ¡Encuentros fundamentales cuando se tiene poco más de veinte años! Picasso le pasa 8 años y su amistad durará hasta la muerte del poeta. Cocteau, paralelamente a una obra literaria inmensa, a una doble carrera de dramaturgo y cineasta, toda su vida dibujará y practicará las técnicas plásticas más diversas, abordando la pintura, las diferentes formas del grabado, la tapicería, etc., y al final de su vida, la cerámica, en la que se expresa libremente su universo poético. Es el ejemplo por excelencia del artista multidisciplinar adelantado a su tiempo. Es evidente que su enfoque de la unión de la tierra con el fuego es consecuencia de un largo compañerismo y de una sólida amistad con el pintor español. Asimismo se debe a su acer - camiento geográfico en la Costa Azul, que conlleva encuentros periódicos entre los dos hombres. Jean Cocteau est né à Paris en1889 et comme beaucoup d’hommes, à cette époque, il est encore jeune lorsqu’il découvre la guerre et son cortège d’horreurs. En 1916, à son retour du front des opérations militaires, il regagne Paris et fréquente les artistes et intellectuels de Montparnasse, où il rencontre, entre autres, Pablo Picasso, Guillaume Apollinaire, Max Jacob,… Des rencontres essentielles lorsque l’on a qu’un peu plus de vingt ans!.
