    The Theater of Piety: Sacred Operas for the Barberini Family (Rome, 1632-1643) Virginia Christy Lamothe A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Music. Chapel Hill 2009 Approved by: Tim Carter, chair Annegret Fauser Anne MacNeil John Nádas Jocelyn Neal © 2009 Virginia Christy Lamothe ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii Abstract Virginia Christy Lamothe: “The Theater of Piety: Sacred Operas for the Barberini Family (Rome, 1632-1643)” (Under the direction of Tim Carter) In a time of religious war, plague, and reformation, Pope Urban VIII and his cardinal- nephews Antonio and Francesco Barberini sought to establish the authority of the Catholic Church by inspiring audiences of Rome with visions of the heroic deeds of saints. One way in which they did this was by commissioning operas based on the lives of saints from the poet Giulio Rospigliosi (later Pope Clement IX), and papal musicians Stefano Landi and Virgilio Mazzocchi. Aside from the merit of providing an in-depth look at four of these little-known works, Sant’Alessio (1632, 1634), Santi Didimo e Teodora (1635), San Bonifatio (1638), and Sant’Eustachio (1643), this dissertation also discusses how these operas reveal changing ideas of faith, civic pride, death and salvation, education, and the role of women during the first half of the seventeenth century. The analysis of the music and the drama stems from studies of the surviving manuscript scores, libretti, payment records and letters about the first performances.

    THE KEYBOARD TOCCATAS OF MICHELANGELO ROSSI (ca. 1602-1656): PERFORMANCE PERSPECTIVES FOR ORGANISTS Petrus Hendrik van Rooyen, B.Mus., M.M. Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS December 2019 APPROVED: Jesse E. Eschbach, Major Professor Paul Leenhouts, Related Field Professor Rebeca Geoffroy-Schwinden, Committee Member Felix Olschofka, Director of Graduate Studies in the College of Music John Richmond, Dean of the College of Music Victor Prybutok, Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School van Rooyen, Petrus Hendrik. The Keyboard Toccatas of Michelangelo Rossi (ca. 1602- 1656): Performance Perspectives for Organists. Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance), December 2019, 83 pp., 11 tables, 3 figures, 8 musical examples, 1 appendix, bibliography, 6 primary sources, 21 secondary sources. This dissertation provides comprehensive performance perspectives for the interpretation of the published keyboard toccatas by Michelangelo Rossi (ca.1602-1656) in his collection, Toccate e Correnti d’Intavolatura d’Organo e Cimbalo (c. 1634). This document consults the following sources on keyboard practice in the early-Baroque period: Girolamo Diruta’s Il Transilvano Dialogo Sopra Il Vero Modo Di Sonar Organi, & Istromenti da penna (1593); Adriano Banchieri’s Conclusioni nel Suono dell’Organo (1609); Costanzo Antegnati’s L’Arte Organica (1608); and the prefaces to Girolamo Frescobaldi’s publications Toccate e Partite d’Intavolature di Cembalo, Libro Primo (first version 1615; second version 1615, 1616, 1628; and third version 1637), and Fiori Musicali (1635). These sources provide information on most aspects of keyboard—and specifically organ—playing in the decades leading up to, and at the time of, the initial publication of Rossi’s toccatas: including the toccata as genre, Italian organs from the late-Renaissance/early-Baroque, registration, tempo, pedaling, fingering, articulation, and ornamentation.

  • Modality and Chromaticism in the Madrigals of Don Carlo Gesualdo
    Modality and Chromaticism in the Madrigals of Don Carlo Gesualdo Volume I of II Joseph Ian Knowles PhD Music University of York February 2014 2 Abstract Don Carlo Gesualdo, Prince of Venosa, (1566–1613) is celebrated for his idiosyncratic use of chromaticism. Yet, the harmony of Gesualdo's madrigals evades modal rules and his chromatic style has perplexed analysts. This thesis reappraises the modal and chromatic features in his madrigals and expands on their significance by employing pitch-class set theory analysis to enhance a more traditional modal approach. Whilst analysis of the music through modal features and pitch-class set theory may appear to use contradictory analytical methods, the two can complement each other through the recognition of certain interval patterns regarded as significant by cinquecento music theorists. Ultimately, this analytical technique provides a language with which to articulate the modal and chromatic processes occurring in his music. In order to consolidate the results of the analyses, elements of compositional process are delineated and explored in the dissection of the madrigal '"Io parto" e non più dissi.' 3 4 Table of Contents Volume I Abstract ................................................................................................................... 3 List of Musical Examples in Volume I .................................................................... 10 List of Tables in Volume I ...................................................................................... 13 List of Accompanying

    The Early Baroque Toccata and the Advent of Tonality David Schulenberg published as “La toccata del primo barocco e l’avvento della tonalità,” Rivista italiana di musicologia 27 (1992): 103–23 How did tonal music originate? An investiagion of the form and tonal structure of some early Baroque keyboard works suggests some insights not only into one of the primary questions of historical musicology but into how we understand tonality itself. Italian composers of the early seventeenth century recognized that the stile moderno and the seconda pratica stood in contrast to older types of composition. Yet, while the new manner of counterpoint was essential to certain genres, such as monody and the continuo madrigal, composers seem to have made no fundamental break with the past in their conceptions of the theory and practice of composition. The methods of composing (and improvising) polyphony that had been codified by Zarlino in the sixteenth century continued to form the basis of musical training, despite the innovations in dissonance treatment found in the seconda pratica. While later treatises like Christopher Simpson’s Division-Violist (London, 1659) eventually provided instruction in the improvisation of variations over a basso ostinato—a technique essential to Baroque variation forms, including the keyboard partita and the strophic aria—it seems clear that for musicians of the early seventeenth century most of the musical innovations that we recognize as typically Baroque, such as the harmonic basis of the new approaches to counterpoint, remained unarticulated intuitions hidden beneath the official doctrines of Renaissance theory.1 Thus, while harmonic progressions and perhaps other manifestations of tonality can be found at the surface of most early Baroque works, the essential structures often remain those of sixteenth-century music.
