Bach The three chorales with figured bass included here are from the Gesangbuch published by Georg Christian Schemelli in 1736. The 69 pieces attributed to Bach in the mammoth Gesangbuch (which contains no fewer than 950 pieces!) are marked by quiet and pious sentiments, unobtrusive and effortless harmonies. The aria “Bist du bei mir” (BWV 508) was part of Gottfried Heinrich Stölzel's opera Diomedes, oder die triumphierende Unschuld that was performed in Bayreuth on November 16, 1718. The opera score is lost. The aria had been part of the Berlin Singakademie music library and was considered lost in the Second World War, until it was rediscovered in 2000 in the Kiev Conservatory. The continuo part of BWV 508 is more agitated and continuous in its voice leading than the Stölzel aria; it is uncertain who provided it, as the entry in the Notebook is by Anna Magdalena Bach herself. Claudio Monteverdi Claudio Monteverdi, the oldest of five children, was born in Cremona, where he was part of the cathedral choir and later studied at the university.

  • Introduction

    Introduction

    Introduction During the first half of the eighteenth century, the principalities of the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation witnessed a remarkable efflorescence of palace fresco painting executed largely by Italian artists.1 Beginning in the Austrian and Czech lands in the late seventeenth century and spreading to the German territories by 1700, large-scale Italian ceiling paintings soared in popularity as Catholic and Protestant nobles of all ranks competed with one another to produce ever more lavish decorative schemes that expressed their claim to princely power and political authority. Drawing upon various picto- rial styles and iconographic programs from Italy and across Europe, frescoists and decorators developed new types of imagery that uniquely embodied their patrons’ ambitions and cultural aspirations.2 A synthesis of predominantly Italian and French styles and forms per- vaded Austro-German baroque culture and society in this period and critically shaped the evolution of their visual and performing arts.3 Although this book concentrates on Italy’s primary contribution to the production of these monu- mental fresco cycles, it is important to acknowledge that French culture under Louis XIV (1638–1714) and Louis XV (1710–1774) played an equally crucial role in influencing Imperial palace design and decoration as well as court music and theater. In the past, scholars sometimes viewed the presence of these two 1 Starting in the Early Middle Ages under Charlemagne and Otto I and continuing until Napoleon’s dissolution of the Empire in 1806, rulers and authors referred to the loose federation of states overseen by an imperial monarch as the “Heilige Römische Reich Deutscher Nation.” These lands consisted of present-day Austria, Germany, and the Czech Republic as well as parts of France, Poland, and Italy.
