Instead, I have preferred to turn the spotlight on the careers of other castrati who are less well known to the general public, as I did for Carestini a few years ago. Since then, having had the opportunity to give concert performances of arias written for Farinelli, I found that they suited me far better than I could have imagined – particu lar ly those written by Nicola Porpora (1686-1768), known in his time not only as a composer, but also as one of the greatest singing teachers. I soon became interested in the master-pupil relationship that could have existed between Porpora and Farinelli. Despite the lack of historical sources, we can presume that Farinelli was still a child when he first met Porpora, and that the composer’s views had a strong bearing on the decision to castrate the young prodigy.

  • Aeneid 7 Page 1 the BIRTH of WAR -- a Reading of Aeneid 7 Sara Mack
    Birth of War – Aeneid 7 page 1 THE BIRTH OF WAR -- A Reading of Aeneid 7 Sara Mack In this essay I will touch on aspects of Book 7 that readers are likely either to have trouble with (the Muse Erato, for one) or not to notice at all (the founding of Ardea is a prime example), rather than on major elements of plot. I will also look at some of the intertexts suggested by Virgil's allusions to other poets and to his own poetry. We know that Virgil wrote with immense care, finishing fewer than three verses a day over a ten-year period, and we know that he is one of the most allusive (and elusive) of Roman poets, all of whom wrote with an eye and an ear on their Greek and Roman predecessors. We twentieth-century readers do not have in our heads what Virgil seems to have expected his Augustan readers to have in theirs (Homer, Aeschylus, Euripides, Apollonius, Lucretius, and Catullus, to name just a few); reading the Aeneid with an eye to what Virgil has "stolen" from others can enhance our enjoyment of the poem. Book 7 is a new beginning. So the Erato invocation, parallel to the invocation of the Muse in Book 1, seems to indicate. I shall begin my discussion of the book with an extended look at some of the implications of the Erato passage. These difficult lines make a good introduction to the themes of the book as a whole (to the themes of the whole second half of the poem, in fact).

    Dido and Camilla Outline by John Protevi / Permission to reproduce granted for academic use [email protected] / http://www.protevi.com/john/FH/PDF/Dido_Camilla.pdf Two women who have to die for Vergil’s epic to “justify the ways of Rome to man”: Dido, the emotional Carthaginian; Camilla, the fierce Amazon. Today’s lecture will examine their roles in the epic. Dido: the prototype of the women who dies for love. But let’s look a little more closely. Carthage is an objectification of Dido: when she starts up with Aeneas, the towers of the city stop being built and the fortifications of the harbor stop (4.120ff). Dido’s political situation in N. Africa. After the death of her husband she’s promised never to remarry and has declined offers from other rulers. Thus when she pledges to Aeneas it’s a political decision with political implications. She’s pissed off the other rulers and so Aeneas’ leaving is not just a personal blow but also leaves her in an untenable political situation (4.438-42; 740ff). Thus her suicide can be seen from outside as rational Stoic choice. The Stoics wanted to "live according to nature." Similar to Aristotle, they found the human good to be fulfilling the natural human capacity to develop self-direction. Now, what's important here is to know what one can control: to what extent can I truly be self-directed? We have to beware of staking any importance on external goods: economic success, political power, even health. What we do have under our control, no matter the chaos around us, is our character and our attitude: we can control how we react to things we cannot control.

    Operatic Danaids Peter Burian ([email protected]) CAMWS 2018 1. Ancient sources A. Apollodorus Bibliotheca 2.1.5 But the sons of Aegyptus came to Argos, and exhorted Danaus to lay aside his enmity, and begged to marry his daughters. Now Danaus distrusted their professions and bore them a grudge on account of his exile; nevertheless, he consented to the marriage and allotted the damsels among them. First, they picked out Hypermnestra as the eldest to be the wife of Lynceus…. When they had got their brides by lot, Danaus made a feast and gave his daughters daggers; and they slew their bridegrooms as they slept, all but Hypermnestra; for she saved Lynceus because he had respected her virginity: wherefore Danaus shut her up and kept her under ward. But the rest of the daughters of Danaus buried the heads of their bridegrooms in Lerna and paid funeral honors to their bodies in front of the city; and Athena and Hermes purified them at the command of Zeus. Danaus afterwards united Hypermnestra to Lynceus; and bestowed his other daughters on the victors in an athletic contest. (trans. J. G. Frazer) B. Hyginus Fabulae 168 Danaus son of Belus had 50 daughters by several wives. His brother Aegyptus had just as many sons, and he wanted to kill his brother Danaus and his daughters so that he alone would possess his father's kingdom. When Danaus first outage is realized what was going on, he fled from Africa to Argos with the help of Minerva, who, they say, built the first two-prowed ship so that Danaus when Egypt is found out could escape.

  • Programme Note ANETA MARKUSZEWSKA
    Programme note ANETA MARKUSZEWSKA Following the death of John III and a failed attempt by the Sobieski dynasty to retain the crown, Marie Casimire decided to leave the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and make her way to Rome. She arrived in the Eternal City in March 1699, after a journey lasting almost half a year. The official reason for her arrival in the city was the jubilee year 1700, celebrated in the capital of Christianity with great pomp. In the end the Widow-Queen remained in Rome for fifteen years. Marie Casimire soon became known as an esteemed patron of music. Her residence in the Palazzo Zuccari in Trinità de’ Monti (next to the Spanish Steps, which did not yet exist) was a venue for renditions of commemorative cantatas and serenatas celebrating the memory of her distinguished husband, as well as performances of improvised comedies and dance. In 1709 Marie Casimire Sobieski organised in her palace a private opera theatre, where operas to librettos by Carlo Sigismondo Capece with music by the young Domenico Scarlatti were staged until 1714. One of the works presented at the time was the dramma per musica Tolomeo e Alessandro, ovvero la corona disprezzata by Capece-Scarlatti. The opera had its premiere on 17th January 1711. About the performance an anonymous chronicler wrote: ‘On Monday evening in her residence on Trinità de’ Monti, the Queen of Poland opened performances of an opera featuring female singers and good musicians [instrumentalists] which was generally acknowledged as superior to others.’ In a letter to her eldest son Jakub Sobieski, who was staying in Oława, Marie Casimire related that: ‘the whole work was composed in three weeks .

Starting in the 1710s and continuing through the eighteenth century, musicians of all types used Handel’s music on their concert programs, most especially during their benefit evenings.1 These special events were dedicated to promoting a sole performer (or other members of the theatrical staff at a particular playhouse or concert hall). As was tradition, performers would have organized these events from beginning to end by hiring the other performers, renting the theater, creating advertisements, soliciting patrons, and The Handel Festival in Halle took place this year from programming the concert. Advertisements suggest that singers Friday, May 27 to Sunday, June 12, 2016 with the theme “History – and instrumentalists employed Handel’s music in benefit concerts Myth – Enlightenment.” Following the pattern established last year, for their own professional gain.
