  • Handel's Oratorios and the Culture of Sentiment By
    Virtue Rewarded: Handel’s Oratorios and the Culture of Sentiment by Jonathan Rhodes Lee A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Music in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Davitt Moroney, Chair Professor Mary Ann Smart Professor Emeritus John H. Roberts Professor George Haggerty, UC Riverside Professor Kevis Goodman Fall 2013 Virtue Rewarded: Handel’s Oratorios and the Culture of Sentiment Copyright 2013 by Jonathan Rhodes Lee ABSTRACT Virtue Rewarded: Handel’s Oratorios and the Culture of Sentiment by Jonathan Rhodes Lee Doctor of Philosophy in Music University of California, Berkeley Professor Davitt Moroney, Chair Throughout the 1740s and early 1750s, Handel produced a dozen dramatic oratorios. These works and the people involved in their creation were part of a widespread culture of sentiment. This term encompasses the philosophers who praised an innate “moral sense,” the novelists who aimed to train morality by reducing audiences to tears, and the playwrights who sought (as Colley Cibber put it) to promote “the Interest and Honour of Virtue.” The oratorio, with its English libretti, moralizing lessons, and music that exerted profound effects on the sensibility of the British public, was the ideal vehicle for writers of sentimental persuasions. My dissertation explores how the pervasive sentimentalism in England, reaching first maturity right when Handel committed himself to the oratorio, influenced his last masterpieces as much as it did other artistic products of the mid- eighteenth century. When searching for relationships between music and sentimentalism, historians have logically started with literary influences, from direct transferences, such as operatic settings of Samuel Richardson’s Pamela, to indirect ones, such as the model that the Pamela character served for the Ninas, Cecchinas, and other garden girls of late eighteenth-century opera.

  • Opera Olimpiade
    OPERA OLIMPIADE Pietro Metastasio’s L’Olimpiade, presented in concert with music penned by sixteen of the Olympian composers of the 18th century VENICE BAROQUE ORCHESTRA Andrea Marcon, conductor Romina Basso Megacle Franziska Gottwald Licida Karina Gauvin Argene Ruth Rosique Aristea Carlo Allemano Clistene Nicholas Spanos Aminta Semi-staged by Nicolas Musin SUMMARY Although the Olympic games are indelibly linked with Greece, Italy was progenitor of the Olympic operas, spawning a musical legacy that continues to resound in opera houses and concert halls today. Soon after 1733, when the great Roman poet Pietro Metastasio witnessed the premiere of his libretto L’Olimpiade in Vienna, a procession of more than 50 composers began to set to music this tale of friendship, loyalty and passion. In the course of the 18th century, theaters across Europe commissioned operas from the Olympian composers of the day, and performances were acclaimed in the royal courts and public opera houses from Rome to Moscow, from Prague to London. Pieto Metastasio In counterpoint to the 2012 Olympic games, Opera Olimpiade has been created to explore and celebrate the diversity of musical expression inspired by this story of the ancient games. Research in Europe and the United States yielded L’Olimpiade manuscripts by many composers, providing the opportunity to extract the finest arias and present Metastasio’s drama through an array of great musical minds of the century. Andrea Marcon will conduct the Venice Baroque Orchestra and a cast of six virtuosi singers—dare we say of Olympic quality—in concert performances of the complete libretto, a succession of 25 spectacular arias and choruses set to music by 16 Title page of David Perez’s L’Olimpiade, premiered in Lisbon in 1753 composers: Caldara, Vivaldi, Pergolesi, Leo, Galuppi, Perez, Hasse, Traetta, Jommelli, Piccinni, Gassmann, Mysliveek, Sarti, Cherubini, Cimarosa, and Paisiello.

  • Cimarosa Domenico
    CIMAROSA DOMENICO Compositore italiano (Aversa 17 XII 1749 - Venezia 11 I 1801) RRIITTRRAATTTTOO DDEELL CCOOMMPPOOSSIITTOORREE 327 Il padre era muratore e la madre lavandaia. Ancora bambino, la famiglia si trasferì a Napoli in cerca di lavoro, e il padre dopo poco tempo morì in seguito ad un infortunio occorsogli durante la costruzione del Palazzo Reale di Campodimonte. Ridotta in povertà, la madre mandò il figlio Domenico a vivere coi padri conventuali al Pendino dove ricevette le sue prime lezioni di musica. Dimostrando una particolare inclinazione per la musica, venne inviato nel 1761 al conservatorio di Santa Maria Loreto, con l'obbligo di rimanervi dieci anni. Ciò escluderebbe che Cimarosa abbia studiato con G. Manno e A. Sacchini in quanto questi maestri lasciarono il conservatorio rispettivamente nel 1761 e nel 1762 proprio, cioè, quando egli vi entrò. Si sa che i suoi principali insegnanti furono P. Gallo, F. Fenaroli e S. Carcajus, e che si perfezionò in violino, in clavicembalo, in organo e soprattutto in canto. Cimarosa iniziò a comporre mentre era ancora studente e i suoi primi saggi furono alcuni pezzi religiosi, fra i quali vanno ricordati due mottetti a quattro voci con strumenti, che portano la data 1765, attualmente conservati nella Biblioteca del conservatorio di Napoli. Uscito dal conservatorio all'età di 22 anni, ebbe subito la fortuna di incontrare una protettrice nella persona della signora C. Pallante, una nota cantante trasferitasi a Roma. Probabilmente, grazie all’influenza di C. Pallante, Cimarosa ricevette la commissione per due lavori per il carnevale del 1772 al teatro dei Fiorentini. Tali opere, Le stravaganze del conte e la farsa Le magie di Merlina e Zoroastro, non furono bene accolte dal pubblico, e secondo F.

  • The Reception History of Antonio Vivaldi in Eighteenth-Century Britain and Ireland
    Sydney Undergraduate Journal of Musicology Vol. 7, December 2017 The Reception History of Antonio Vivaldi in Eighteenth-Century Britain and Ireland ANNABEL GOODMAN The reception history of Antonio Vivaldi states that, despite his initial widespread popularity, the composer’s music fell out of fashion in the last years of his life only to be revived during the twentieth century. This is, of course, a massive generalisation. The idea that Vivaldi’s music fell out of popularity by the time of his death in 1741 is more a reflection of the composer’s reception history in his native Venice than of his reception across Europe, where his music continued to be heard across French, German, and British cultures. Compared to the composer’s presence in Italy, however, Vivaldi’s reception history in these other European cultures has received less scholarly attention. This is particularly the case for Vivaldi’s reception history in Britain and Ireland. Vivaldi’s musical presence and reception in Britain and Ireland can be traced back to the eighteenth century, when the composer’s music was at its most popular, not only in Britain and Ireland, but also across Europe. However, despite Vivaldi’s music falling out of performing repertoires in the nineteenth century, his name is still mentioned in primary sources, namely British and Irish newspapers. London was, of course, the heart and centre of British musical culture during these times. Ireland, although not part of Great Britain, was influenced by Britain musically, especially when it came to Vivaldi. This is likely because Dublin could be considered a secondary art music capital next to London, with many violinists — including Francesco Geminiani and his student Matthew Debourg, an avid player of Vivaldi’s concertos — travelling to both London and Dublin.1 However, there were some clear cultural differences between England and Ireland, with a notable disparity being Dublin’s smaller cultural influence and size compared to London.
