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.

This thesis, aimed at performers as well as scholars, begins with a brief consideration of the cultural context of early public opera in Venice and the emergence of the musical language of tonality. It goes on to examine how, in setting Faustini’s text, Cavalli represents desire and sexuality, constructs character, and creates a musical narrative. Cavalli’s implementation of the precepts of the seconda prattica is also considered in terms of textural and rhetorical devices.

    SSCM - AHS Joint Meeting April 23-26, 2015 Iowa City Abstracts Thursday Afternoon I. Plenary Session: Baroque Lives Roger Freitas (Eastman School of Music), Chair Supereminet omnes: New Light on the Life and Career of Vittoria Tarquini Beth Glixon (University of Kentucky) Vittoria Tarquini is known especially among Handel enthusiasts as the composer’s would-be paramour during his time in Florence in 1708; indeed, her relationship with Handel has taken on even greater significance over the last few decades as questions regarding the composer’s sexuality have been raised. The singer also occupies a niche in a particular corner of Florentine history as the supposed mistress of Grand Prince Ferdinando de’ Medici. Using newly discovered archival and visual material as well as a wide range of secondary sources, my paper traces Tarquini’s life and operatic career in Italy and Germany before looking at her years of retirement in Venice, where she died in 1746. Tarquini’s performance at Venice’s famed Teatro S. Giovanni Grisostomo in 1688 put her under the influence of the powerful Grimani family, and through Vincenzo Grimani she made the acquaintance of Prince Ferdinando, who would become her patron and employer ten years later. Rather than continuing her career in Venice, she moved to Hanover later in 1688, and soon married the French concertmaster Jean-Baptiste Farinel. She subsequently spent a number of years singing in Naples, where she was a favorite of the Viceroy, the Duke of Medinaceli. While there she sang in various works of Alessandro Scarlatti, and premiered the title role in Il trionfo di Camilla, which became one of the most popular operas of the eighteenth century.

  • Musique De L'œil
    ARTAMAG' FOCUS MUSIQUE DE L’ŒIL 13 NOVEMBRE 2015 | JEAN-CHARLES HOFFELÉ La musique se voit dans la peinture vénitienne, mieux, elle se montre, de la trompette de la Gloire de Giuseppe Angeli au « concertino » qui accompagne les joueurs de cartes de Pietro Longhi nommant d’ailleurs son tableau. Instruments pour les scènes mythologiques ou les « moralités », fresques où se mirent la dramaturgie du théâtre d’opéra que Venise invente puis réinvente sans cesse, concerts de cordes et de bois qui rappellent la pratique instrumentale intimement liée aux Ospedali, c’est tout ce répertoire pictural qu’Olivier Lexa parcourt au long des deux cent pages du livre d’art qu’il consacre à ce sujet inusable : « La musique à Venise ». Période : de Monteverdi à Vivaldi ; sujet : toiles, fresques, apparat, pratique domestique, et évidemment opéra où entre décors, costumes, dramaturgie, l’auteur suit l’évolution du goût vénitien. En refermant cet ouvrage magnifique qui va chercher parfois dans les parts les moins courues du répertoire pictural de la Sérénissime, je me dis que le sujet n’avait pas été traité avec tant d’à propos et une si profonde sensibilité. C’est qu’Olivier Lexa « entend » cette peinture musicale dans les deux acceptations du terme. Il est l’auteur de la première biographie française de l’autre père de l’opéra vénitien avec Monteverdi, Francesco Cavalli – en fait pour moi, son véritable créateur – un ouvrage très documenté au style enlevé que l’on retrouve toujours aussi brillant et juste dans le nouveau venu, comme dans le prologue qui pare le magnifique livre-disque concocté par Mariana Florès et Leonardo García Alarcón, où se résume en ses pages les plus éloquentes ou les plus touchantes tout le théâtre lyrique de Cavalli.

  • Transcripts of Dramatic Musical Works in Full Score
    TRANSCRIPTS OF DRAMATIC MUSICAL WORKS IN FULL SCORE AT THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS MUSIC DIVISION Compiled by Susan Clermont Senior Music Specialist Library of Congress Music Division A BIBLIOGRAPHY OF TRANSCRIPTS OF DRAMATIC MUSICAL WORKS IN FULL SCORE AT THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS This bibliography comprises close to 700 transcripts of dramatic musical works in full score copied from original music manuscripts and early imprints for the Library of Congress’s Music Division between 1903 and 1939. The original sources were located in over three dozen European libraries in Austria, Belgium, France, Great Britain, Germany, Hungary, Italy and Russia. The majority of the operas cited in this document date from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries; about fifteen percent are reproductions of nineteenth-century works. Also included in this bibliography are transcripts of incidental music for dramas, melodramas, ballets, and pantomimes (see Appendix B). Finally, Appendix C comprises a short list of instrumental works, mostly for viola da gamba, that were transcribed over a two-year period when the parameters of this project were provisionally broadened. In 1902, a new set of guidelines for the systematic development of the newly-reorganized Music Division’s collections was instituted: opera immediately received a considerable share of attention because, “the peculiar condition of opera in the United States seemed to demand that a center of reference and research be created for the students of opera.” [Oscar Sonneck, Dramatic Music: Catalogue of Full Scores…, 1908] Accordingly, a series of “want lists” were compiled; however, when it was determined after a comprehensive search that hundreds of items included on the Music Division’s desiderata list for operas in full score were unprocurable in manuscript or print versions, the option of contracting copyists to generate transcripts was explored.

  • 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.
