The Enargeia of Music in Theory and Practice Although in Aristotle's
CHAPTER SIXTEEN THE ENARGEIA OF MUSIC IN THEORY AND PRACTICE Although in Aristotle’s Poetics music is not considered a mimetic art, musical rhetoric also makes use of the enargeia of representation, albeit not primarily under this label. The German humanist Joachim Burmeis- ter (1566–1629) defines the terminological equivalent hypotyposis in his Musica Poetica (1606) as follows: Hypotyposis est illud ornamentum, quô textus significatio ita deumbratur, ut ea, quæ textui subsunt & animam vitamq; non habent, vita esse prædita, videantur. Hoc ornamentum usitatißimum est apud authenticos Artifices. Vti- nam eâdem dexteritate ab omnibus adhiberetur Componistis.1 Hypotyposis is that ornament through which the meaning of a (song) text is elucidated in such a way that the basic words, which have no soul and no life, seem to become filled with life. This ornament is commonly used by authentic artists. If only it were skillfully applied by all composers! For Burmeister therefore hypotyposis is an important figure for giving a song text a sensory presence. As an example he cites a composition by Orlando di Lasso: “Benedicam Domino [. .]”, and in doing so claims that pathopoeia is particularly suited to producing affects: “Pathopoeia [. .] est figura apta ad affectus creandos.”2 Other music theorists of the time do 1 Joachim Burmeister, Musica Poetica: Definitionibus et divisionibus breviter delineata.

Lincoln / London: University of Nebraska Press, 1997, p. 307 makes on this figure the following comment: “The hypotyposis is given the same task in music as in rhetoric: to vividly and realistically illustrate a thought or image found in the text. -

Keyboard Playing and the Mechanization of Polyphony in Italian Music, Circa 1600
Keyboard Playing and the Mechanization of Polyphony in Italian Music, Circa 1600 By Leon Chisholm 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 Kate van Orden, Co-Chair Professor James Q. Davies, Co-Chair Professor Mary Ann Smart Professor Massimo Mazzotti Summer 2015 Keyboard Playing and the Mechanization of Polyphony in Italian Music, Circa 1600 Copyright 2015 by Leon Chisholm Abstract Keyboard Playing and the Mechanization of Polyphony in Italian Music, Circa 1600 by Leon Chisholm Doctor of Philosophy in Music University of California, Berkeley Professor Kate van Orden, Co-Chair Professor James Q. Davies, Co-Chair Keyboard instruments are ubiquitous in the history of European music. Despite the centrality of keyboards to everyday music making, their influence over the ways in which musicians have conceptualized music and, consequently, the music that they have created has received little attention. This dissertation explores how keyboard playing fits into revolutionary developments in music around 1600 – a period which roughly coincided with the emergence of the keyboard as the multipurpose instrument that has served musicians ever since. During the sixteenth century, keyboard playing became an increasingly common mode of experiencing polyphonic music, challenging the longstanding status of ensemble singing as the paradigmatic vehicle for the art of counterpoint – and ultimately replacing it in the eighteenth century. The competing paradigms differed radically: whereas ensemble singing comprised a group of musicians using their bodies as instruments, keyboard playing involved a lone musician operating a machine with her hands. -

International Journal of Education Humanities and Social Science ISSN: 2582-0745 Vol. 2, No. 04; 2019 EARLY MELODRAMA, EARLY TRAGICOMIC Roberto Gigliucci Sapienza University of Rome Piazzale (Square) Aldo Moro, 5, Rome 00185, Italy [email protected] ABSTRACT This essay tries to demonstrate that the tragicomic blend, typical of Baroque Melodrama, has born much earlier than what is commonly believed. Just in the Jesuitical play “Eumelio” (1606) the hellish characters are definitely comical; a year later, in the celebrated “Orfeo” by Striggio jr. and Monteverdi, we think to find droll, if not grotesque, elements. The article ends considering the opera “La morte d’Orfeo” by S. Landi (1619), particularly focusing on the character of Charon. Key Words: Tragicomic, Melodrama, Orpheus’ myth. INTRODUCTION An excellent scholar as Gloria Staffieri, in a recent historical frame of Melodrama from its birth up to Metastasio, reaffirms a widespread statement: the “invention” of tragicomic blend in the Opera is due to Rospigliosi, during the Barberini age [1], starting from 1629 (Sant’Alessio) and developing increasingly during the Thirties [2]. A quite late birth, therefore, of the tragicomic element, which is universally considered one of the most identitarian – strongly peculiar – feature of Baroque Melodrama [3]. In our short speech, we would demonstrate that this fundamental trait of Operatic mood was born at the very inception of the genre itself. Rinuccini If we skip now the case of Dafne [4] (where Rinuccini puts himself in line with the experiment of satira scenica by Giraldi Cinzio, the Egle [5], with its sad metamorphic ending), we may consider Euridice as a happy ending tragedy. -
Missa Papae Marcelli: a Comparative Analysis of the Kyrie and Gloria Movements of Giovanni Pierluigi Da Palestrina and An
MISSA PAPAE MARCELLI: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE KYRIE AND GLORIA MOVEMENTS OF GIOVANNI PIERLUIGI DA PALESTRINA AND AN ADAPTATION BY GIOVAN NI FRANCESCO ANERIO Michael J. Moore, B.M.E. Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF MUSIC UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS May 2006 APPROVED: Graham Phipps, Major Professor Frank Heidlberger, Committee Member Thomas Sovik, Committee Member James C. Scott, Dean of the College of Music Sandra L. Terrell, Dean of the Robert B. Toulouse School of Graduate Studies Moore, Michael J., Missa Papae Marcelli: A Comparative Analysis of the Kyrie and Gloria Movements of Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina and an Adaptation by Giovanni Francesco Anerio. Master of Music (Music Theory), May 2006, 81 pp., 51 examples, 28 bibliographic references. My comparative analysis of Missa Papae Marcelli includes discussion about the historical significance of Palestrina’s contribution to church music reform with regard to Marcello Cervini’s reforms in church doctrine. The compositional techniques and adherence to clarity of text are important aspects of Palestrina’s music that have earned him the title “savior” of polyphonic music. The comparative analysis will begin with a detailed study of Palestrina’s compositional method including an examination of voice leading, text setting, and cadence types. These compositional techniques will be compared to Anerio’s 1619 adaptation of the Palestrina model. An examination of Anerio’s adaptation illustrates how changes in composition shift from a contrapuntal design with elided phrases to a harmonic design with regular phrase structures. Adaptive techniques include both borrowed and newly composed material. Borrowed material includes introductory statements and closing gestures; however, much of the body of each movement is altered and shortened. -
