Book Synopsis The Chamber Cantatas of Antonio Vivaldi by : Michael Talbot
Download or read book The Chamber Cantatas of Antonio Vivaldi written by Michael Talbot and published by Boydell Press. This book was released on 2006 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Detailed survey of Vivaldi's unjustly neglected chamber cantatas, showing them to stand comparison with his more famous works. Vivaldi's chamber cantatas for solo voice, some forty in total, are steadily gaining in popularity: but because of their relatively small place in the oeuvre of a composer famed for his productivity, and also on account of the general scholarly neglect of their genre, they are little discussed in the literature. This book comprehensively explores their literary and musical background, their relation to the composer's biography, the chronology of their composition, and their musical qualities. Each cantata is discussed individually, but there is also a broader consideration of aspects concerning them collectively, such as performance practice, topical allusion, and the conventions of Italian verse. The author argues that while Vivalid's cantatas are not as innovative as his concertos and operas, he produced several masterpieces in the genre that rank with his best music. MICHAEL TALBOT is Emeritus Professor of Music at the University of Liverpool.
Book Synopsis Bolognese Instrumental Music, 1660-1710 by : Gregory Barnett
Download or read book Bolognese Instrumental Music, 1660-1710 written by Gregory Barnett and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, the first of its kind, is a study of Bolognese instrumental music during the height of the city's musical activity in the late seventeenth century. The period?marked by a rapid expansion of the cappella musicale of the principal city church, San Petronio, by the founding of the Accademia Filarmonica, and by increasingly lavish patronage of musical events?witnessed the proliferation of repertory for instrumental ensembles. This music not only reveals crucial stages in the development of the sonata and concerto but also recalls the elaborate church rituals and the opulent public and private celebrations in which they figured prominently. Moreover, the late seventeenth century saw the heyday of Bolognese music publishing, whose output of sonatas and related instrumental genres easily surpassed that of the once-dominating Venetian presses. The approach taken here departs from composer- and genre-centered monographs on Italian instrumental music in order to illuminate an array of topics that center on the Bolognese repertory: the social condition of instrumentalist-composers; the acumen of music publishers in the creation of the repertory; the diverse contexts of the instrumental dances; the influence of liturgical traditions on sonata topoi; the impact of psalmodic practice on tonal style; and the innovative climate that led to experiments with scoring and form in the earliest instrumental concertos. In sum, this book not only illustrates the historically significant and defining features of the music, but also links the surviving repertory to the flourishing musical culture in which it was created.
Book Synopsis The Eighteenth-century Diaspora of Italian Music and Musicians by : Reinhard Strohm
Download or read book The Eighteenth-century Diaspora of Italian Music and Musicians written by Reinhard Strohm and published by Brepols Publishers. This book was released on 2001 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On an eighteenth-century map of European culture, Italian musicians would be found almost everywhere. Unlike in earlier ages, they now provided an intrinsic part of the international exchange: no longer exotic birds, but not yet the representatives of a single nation, they helped other Europeans to forget traditional frontiers in music. In this fascinating book, eight specialised music historians investigate several important aspects of the Italian contribution, highlighting local musical practices, the aesthetic of genres, and the larger patterns of musical cultivation and patronage.
Book Synopsis The String Quartet, 1750–1797 by : Mara Parker
Download or read book The String Quartet, 1750–1797 written by Mara Parker and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The second half of the eighteenth century witnessed a flourishing of the string quartet, often represented as a smooth and logical progression from first violin-dominated homophony to a more equal conversation between the four voices. Yet this progression was neither as smooth nor as linear as previously thought, as Mara Parker illustrates in her examination of the string quartet during this period. Looking at a wide variety of string quartets by composers such as Pleyel, Distler and Filtz, in addition to Haydn and Mozart, the book proposes a new way of describing the relationships between the four instruments in different works. Broadly speaking, these relationships follow one of four patterns: the 'lecture', the 'polite conversation', the 'debate', and the 'conversation'. In focusing on these musical discourses, it becomes apparent that each work is the product of its composer's stylistic choices, location, intended performers and intended audience. Instead of evolving in a strict and universal sequence, the string quartet in the latter half of the eighteenth century was a complex genre with composers mixing and matching musical discourses as circumstances and their own creative impulses required.
Book Synopsis Tonal Space in the Music of Antonio Vivaldi by : Bella Brover-Lubovsky
Download or read book Tonal Space in the Music of Antonio Vivaldi written by Bella Brover-Lubovsky and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2008-06-25 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The book combines theory and practice, discussing the theoretical aspects and practical realization of the arrangement of tonal space in terms of their contemporary reception. Brover-Lubovsky's approach is therefore directed toward a study of the musical repertory mapped onto the canvas of contemporary musical thought, including theory, pedagogy, reception, and aesthetics. Tonal Space in the Music of Antonio Vivaldi is a substantial contribution to a better understanding of Vivaldi's individual style, while illuminating wider processes of stylistic development and of the diffusion of artistic ideas in the eighteenth century."--BOOK JACKET.
Download or read book Vivaldi written by Michael Talbot and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 565 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 1978, the 300th anniversary of Vivaldi's death, there has been an explosion of serious writing about his music, life and times. Much of this has taken the form of articles published in academic journals or conference proceedings, some of which are not easy to obtain. The twenty-two articles selected by Michael Talbot for this volume form a representative selection of the best writing on Vivaldi from the last 30 years, featuring such major figures in Vivaldi research as Reinhard Strohm, Paul Everett, Gastone Vio and Federico Maria Sardelli. Aspects covered include biography, Venetian cultural history, manuscript studies, genre studies and musical analysis. The intention is to serve as a 'first port of call' for those wishing to learn more about Vivaldi or to refresh their existing knowledge. An introduction by Michael Talbot reviews the state of Vivaldi scholarship past and present and comments on the significance of the articles.

Book Synopsis Johann Joseph Fux and the Music of the Austro-Italian Baroque by : Harry White
Download or read book Johann Joseph Fux and the Music of the Austro-Italian Baroque written by Harry White and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Johann Joseph Fux's reputation as a theorist and the long-term influence of his theoretical and pedagogical work have ensured that his name is widely known in music circles in the West. His pre-eminence as the foremost native-born composer of the Austrian Baroque has resulted in attention being focused on his work as an exemplum of virtually every genre, sacred or secular of Austro-Italian early eighteenth-century music. The publication of the Fux Gesamtausgabe has greatly enhanced the reputation of his music and the essays in this volume will develop our understanding of Fux, his music, and his place in musical history.
Book Synopsis Alessandro Scarlatti by : Sabine Ehrmann-Herfort
Download or read book Alessandro Scarlatti written by Sabine Ehrmann-Herfort and published by Bärenreiter-Verlag. This book was released on 2024-03-18 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alessandro Scarlattis (1660-1725) Kompositionen decken alle zu seiner Zeit gängigen Gattungen ab. Hauptsächlich in Rom und Neapel war der aus Sizilien stammende Komponist tätig, und dies mit großem Erfolg. Aber auch an anderen Orten Italiens schätzte man seine Musik, sodass Scarlattis vielfältiges und weit verbreitetes Œuvre um 1700 einen prägenden Einfluss auf die musikalische Kultur seines Landes gewann. Der Band präsentiert in methodisch unterschiedlichen Zugangsweisen Scarlattis Schaffen. Dabei richtet sich der Blick nicht nur auf »innermusikalische« Faktoren, sondern bezieht Auftraggeber, Entstehungssituationen sowie die vielfältigen Kontakte, die Scarlatti zu Kulturschaffenden pflegte, als konstituierend mit ein. So entfaltet sich ein umfangreiches Panorama seines an der Tradition orientierten, mitunter auch innovativ vorausweisenden kompositorischen Schaffens.

Book Synopsis Musik und Revolution by : Barbara Boisits
Download or read book Musik und Revolution written by Barbara Boisits and published by Hollitzer Wissenschaftsverlag. This book was released on 2013-11-22 with total page 804 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Keine Revolution kommt ohne Musik aus, und dennoch wird dieser Zusammenhang selten thematisiert. Das gilt insbesondere für das "tolle Jahr" 1848. Der Bedarf an Revolutionsmusik war groß: jede Kompagnie einer Nationalgarde oder Akademischen Legion wollte ihre eigenen Lieder und Märsche. Diese erklangen bei Aufzügen, Fackelzügen, Fahnenweihen, in den Straßen, auf den Barrikaden, in Konzerten und sogar in den Salons. Auch bekannte Lieder wie das studentische Fuchslied oder die Kaiserhymne wurden in den Dienst der Revolution gestellt. So gut wie alle Komponisten dieser Zeit (darunter auch einige Komponistinnen) beteiligten sich an der Produktion einschlägiger Werke, viele MusikerInnen an deren Ausführung, wenngleich so mancher sich in der nachrevolutionären, neoabsolutistischen Phase wieder davon distanzierte. Auch die Konzert- und Theaterprogramme reagierten musikalisch auf die politischen Ereignisse. Im Zentrum der Untersuchung steht Wien, doch wird der musikalischen Seite der Revolution auch in Graz, Klagenfurt, Triest, Ljubljana, Zagreb, Novi Sad, Budapest, Pressburg, Prag und in Lombardo-Venetien wird nachgegangen.
