    Mora Wade THE RECEPTION OF OPITZ'S lUDITH DURING THE BAROQUE By virtue of its status as the second German opera libretto, Martin Opitz's ludith (1635), has received little critical attention in its own right. l ludith stands in the shadow of its predecessor, Da/ne (1627),2 also by Opitz, as weH as in that of a successor, Harsdörffer and Staden's See/ewig (1644), the first German-Ianguage opera to which the music is extant today.3 Both libretti by Opitz, Dafne and ludith, are the earliest examples of the reception of Italian opera into German-speaking lands.4 Da/ne was based on the opera ofthe 1.

  • Histories of Heinrich Schu¨ Tz
    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-19765-6 - Histories of Heinrich Schütz Bettina Varwig Frontmatter More information HISTORIES OF HEINRICH SCHU¨ TZ Bettina Varwig places the music of the celebrated Dresden composer Heinrich Schu¨tz in a richly detailed tapestry of cultural, political, religious and intellectual contexts. Four key events in Schu¨tz’s career – the 1617 Reformation centenary, the performance of his Dafne in 1627, the 1636 funeral composition Musicalische Exequien, and the publication of his motet collection Geistliche Chor-Music (1648) – are used to explore his music’s resonances with broader historical themes, including the effects of the Thirty Years War, contemporary meanings of classical mythology, Lutheran attitudes to death and the afterlife, as well as shifting conceptions of time and history in light of early modern scientific advances. These original seventeenth-century circumstances are treated in counter- point with Schu¨tz’s fascinating later reinvention in nineteenth- and twentieth-century German musical culture, providing a new kind of musicological writing that interweaves layers of historical inquiry from the seventeenth century to the present day. bettina varwig is a music historian with wide-ranging interests in early modern European culture. She has held fellowships at Magdalen College, Oxford, and the University of Cambridge, and is now a lecturer at King’s College London. She has published widely on the music of Heinrich Schu¨tz and J. S. Bach. This is her first book. © in this web service Cambridge

  • Death and the Female Body in Homer, Vergil, and Ovid
    DEATH AND THE FEMALE BODY IN HOMER, VERGIL, AND OVID Katherine De Boer Simons A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Depart- ment of Classics. Chapel Hill 2016 Approved by: Sharon L. James James J. O’Hara William H. Race Alison Keith Laurel Fulkerson © 2016 Katherine De Boer Simons ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT KATHERINE DE BOER SIMONS: Death and the Female Body in Homer, Vergil, and Ovid (Under the direction of Sharon L. James) This study investigates the treatment of women and death in three major epic poems of the classical world: Homer’s Odyssey, Vergil’s Aeneid, and Ovid’s Metamorphoses. I rely on recent work in the areas of embodiment and media studies to consider dead and dying female bodies as representations of a sexual politics that figures women as threatening and even mon- strous. I argue that the Odyssey initiates a program of linking female death to women’s sexual status and social class that is recapitulated and intensified by Vergil. Both the Odyssey and the Aeneid punish transgressive women with suffering in death, but Vergil further spectacularizes violent female deaths, narrating them in “carnographic” detail. The Metamorphoses, on the other hand, subverts the Homeric and Vergilian model of female sexuality to present the female body as endangered rather than dangerous, and threatened rather than threatening. In Ovid’s poem, women are overwhelmingly depicted as brutalized victims regardless of their sexual status, and the female body is consistently represented as bloodied in death and twisted in metamorphosis.

  • Echos in Und Um »Dafne«*
    Echos in und um »Dafne«* Bettina Varwig er verlorene Notentext zu Heinrich Schütz’ Pastoraldrama Dafne ist eine der denk wür digsten DLeerstellen in der Musikgeschichte des frühen 17. Jahrhunderts. Seit Johann Christoph Gottsched das Stück 1757 zum »ers ten deutschen Singspiel« erklärte1 und Gott fried Wilhelm Fink 1834 seine Wiederentdeckung zu einer Aufgabe von nationaler Bedeutung erhob2, haben sich im mer weit läufi gere Spekulationen um das Werk gesammelt. Diese reichen von der Frage, wie das ursprüngliche italienische Textbuch in die Hände von Schütz und seinem Textdichter Martin Opitz gelangt sein könnte3, bis hin zur mutmaßlichen Größe der Bühne 4, auf der das Stück am 13. April 1627 bei der Torgauer Hochzeit der sächsischen Prinzessin Sophie Eleonore mit Georg II. von Hessen »musicaliter agirt« wurde 5. Letzt- lich zielen fast alle diese Hypothesen auf die Beantwortung einer Hauptfrage ab, nämlich ob das Werk als erste deutsche Oper zu gelten habe oder nicht; oder, anders gefragt, ob es eine wie auch immer geartete rezitativische Schreibweise enthielt. Die meisten Historiker des 19. und 20. Jahrhunderts haben diese Frage eindeutig bejaht. Wolfram Steude hat sie in einem Beitrag von 1991 mit einigen schlagenden Argu - menten verneint 6. Kürzlich hat Elisabeth Rothmund wieder ein vorsichtiges »ja« ausgesprochen, in einer Monographie, die sich hauptsächlich mit Schütz’ deutscher Identität und seinen daraus erwach- senden kulturpatriotischen Bestrebun gen beschäftigt7. Mein eigenes Interesse gilt weniger dem Problemkreis der Dafne als spezifi sch deutschem Unter- fangen oder ihrem umstrittenen Status als Ausgangspunkt einer nationalen Operntradition. Irmgard Scheitler kommt in einem vor kurzem erschienenen Aufsatz zu dem treff enden Schluss, die erhaltenen Quellen seien »einfach zu dürftig, um aus ihnen tragfähige Schlüsse zu ziehen«8.

  • Bernini Struts
    Part II Material and Social Transformations 3 Bernini Struts Michael Cole Few works in the history of sculpture are more admired for the sheer skill of their carving than Gianlorenzo Bernini’s Apollo and Daphne (figure 3.1). Charles Avery counts it among the pieces that established Bernini as ‘‘the greatest sculptor in the world.’’1 Peter Rockwell maintains that ‘‘any sculptor who looks at Bernini’s Apollo and Daphne can only come away astonished.’’2 And Howard Hibbard concludes his discussion of the statue by suggesting that it is too dazzling, showing ‘‘a quality of immature excess, of virtuosity for its own sake.’’3 The Apollo and Daphne has come to stand as the perfect antithesis to the modernist principle of ‘‘truth to materials,’’ the ultimate illustration of the artist defying his medium’s very nature. Indeed, it has become difficult, in view of the Apollo and Daphne, to imagine what Bernini could not make marble do. No wonder Jennifer Montagu caused a small sensation when she argued that its most famous features were executed by Bernini’s gifted assistant Giuliano Finelli rather than by the master himself.4 Bernini began the Apollo and Daphne in 1622 and had largely completed it by 1624, the last year of his employment with Cardinal Scipione Borghese. Roughly contemporary with the sculptor’s David (1623–4) and still standing in the building for which it was made, it represents the culmination of a series of works that, as Rudolf Preimesberger sug- gested in a classic article, ask to be measured collectively against a sixteenth-century, largely Florentine, tradition.5 The Apollo and Daphne and the other statues Bernini made for the Cardinal were collectors’ pieces, appealing explicitly to a cultivated audience with a historical sensibility and a keen awareness of sculptural practice.

  • The Metamorphosis As a Figure of the Boundary Between Life and Death
    The Metamorphosis as a Figure of the Boundary Between Life and Death Rosalba Galvagno The metamorphic myth handed down to occidental culture by the great poem of Metamorphoses by Ovid is concerned, beyond the transformational variety of its figurations, with the fundamental structure of subjectivity. More precisely, it represents the paradigmatic figure of a Subject who lies on the limit or tries to cross it in order to get possession of an object in fact inaccessible, that object through which nearly all the heroes of metamorphosis are pushed toward or they are attracted from. The metamorphosis may represent, in fact, the possible outcome of a destiny that, unlike the tragic one devoted to a beautiful death, is rather marked by that entre-deux, from that limen between life and death, from that extreme area, that last refuge that a fallen being can still live in. The metamorphic hero is in fact punished by a change but at the same time he is saved from death or suffering which has become intolerable as evidenced, among the numerous suggestions scattered not only in the poem of Metamorphoses, but in general in literature and art of all times, by the metamorphic adventure of Daphne, the nymph who turns into a tree under the pressure of a desire which she can no longer escape from. According to the traditional Ovidian typology, metamorphosis are divided into: animal, vegetable, liquid, mineral; and their process can be descending or, but very rarely, ascending. Metamorphosis usually involves a decreasing process, if compared to humanity. Man can indeed be transformed into an animal, plant, water, stone and, in Between, vol.

  • Busenello Satirico: New Sources for Apollo and Dafne
    Performing Premodernity Online – Volume 1 (January 2015) Busenello satirico: New Sources for Apollo and Dafne JEAN-FRANÇOIS LATTARICO Performed at the Teatro San Cassiano for Carnival in 1640, Gli amori di Apollo e di Dafne is the first musical drama of Busenello and the first collaboration between the poet and Francesco Cavalli, who was to dominate the Venetian operatic stage for more than three decades. It constitutes one of the two earliest Venetian operas to be survived by a score1—the other is Le nozze di Teti, represented the previous season. The work belongs to the new system of production that had made a genuine industry out of the operatic theatre, at the border between artistic creation and the merchandising of its object, and giving rise to a number of professions, among them the impresario,2 the project manager of this entertainment, of a new genre which, although courtly and elitist at its Florentine origins, had become, in Republican Venice, the object of a true popular craze. From 1639 until 1644 the Tron theatre at S. Cassiano was managed by Cavalli himself, in collaboration with the choreographer G. B. Balbi, who had already gained fame from his participation in Andromeda by Ferrari and Manelli, which had inaugurated Venetian public opera in 1637. Apollo e Dafne constitutes in more than one way, the inaugural work of a new genre. The dimension of rewriting, inseparable from operatic theatre is here fully in evidence, but in a manner that blends an homage to the first Florentine stories (fables) and the deviant satirical and sarcastic approach which characterizes the work of members of the Venetian Accademia degli Incogniti3.
