Book Synopsis Vivaldi's Music for Flute and Recorder by : Michael Talbot
Download or read book Vivaldi's Music for Flute and Recorder written by Michael Talbot and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Federico Maria Sardelli writes from the perspective of a professional baroque flautist and recorder-player, as well as from that of an experienced and committed scholar, in order to shed light on the bewildering array of sizes and tunings of the recorder and transverse flute families as they relate to Antonio Vivaldi's compositions. Sardelli draws copiously on primary documents to analyse and place in context the capable and surprisingly progressive instrumental technique displayed in Vivaldi's music. The book includes a discussion of the much-disputed chronology of Vivaldi's works, drawing on both internal and external evidence. Each known piece by him in which the flute or the recorder appears is evaluated fully from historical, biographical, technical and aesthetic standpoints. This book is designed to appeal not only to Vivaldi scholars and lovers of the composer's music, but also to players of the two instruments, students of organology and those with an interest in late baroque music in general. Vivaldi is a composer who constantly springs surprises as, even today, new pieces are discovered or old ones reinterpreted. Much has happened since Sardelli's book was first published in Italian, and this new English version takes full account of all these new discoveries and developments. The reader will be left with a much fuller picture of the composer and his times, and the knowledge and insights gained from minutely examining his music for these two wind instruments will be found to have a wider relevance for his work as a whole. Generous music examples and illustrations bring the book's arguments to life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Named a Library Journal Best Reference of 2023 - "Bravo! An invaluable source for scholars and concertgoers.” - Library Journal In the history of the Western musical tradition, the Baroque period traditionally dates from the turn of the 17th century to 1750. The beginning of the period is marked by Italian experiments in composition that attempted to create a new kind of secular musical art based upon principles of Greek drama, quickly leading to the invention of opera. The ending is marked by the death of Johann Sebastian Bach in 1750 and the completion of George Frideric Handel’s last English oratorio, Jephtha, the following year. The Historical Dictionary of Baroque Music, Second Edition contains a chronology, an introduction, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has more than 500 cross-referenced entries on composers, instruments, cities, and technical terms. This book is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about baroque music.

Download or read book Vivaldi written by Kelly Mass and published by Efalon Acies. This book was released on 2024-01-14 with total page 27 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Antonio Lucio Vivaldi was an acclaimed Italian composer, virtuoso violinist, teacher, impresario, and Catholic priest during the Baroque musical era. Born in Venice, the capital of the Venetian Republic, Vivaldi is regarded as one of the greatest Baroque composers. In his time, his influence was felt across Europe, inspiring countless imitators and admirers. He was instrumental in shaping the instrumental music of Johann Sebastian Bach as well as the French concerto tradition (including Michel Corrette, Jean-Joseph de Mondonville, Louis-Nicholas Clérambault). Vivaldi composed numerous instrumental concertos for violin and other instruments, sacred choral works, and over fifty operas. His most famous piece remains The Four Seasons, a sequence of violin concertos. Many of his works were written for the Ospedale della Pietà, a home for abandoned children, and its all-female music ensemble. Vivaldi served as a Catholic priest in two stints, from 1703-1715 and 1723-1740. In Venice, Mantua, and Vienna, Vivaldi enjoyed some success staging his operas in lavish productions. After meeting Emperor Charles VI, Vivaldi moved to Vienna in hopes of gaining imperial patronage. However, the Emperor died soon after Vivaldi's arrival, and Vivaldi himself died in poverty less than a year later.

Book Synopsis Musical Form and Analysis by : Glenn Spring
Download or read book Musical Form and Analysis written by Glenn Spring and published by Waveland Press. This book was released on 2013-08-29 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding the way music unfolds to the listener is a major key for unlocking the secrets of the composer’s art. Musical Form and Analysis, highly regarded and widely used for two decades, provides a balanced theoretical and philosophical approach that helps upper-level undergraduate music majors understand the structures and constructions of major musical forms. Spring and Hutcheson present all of the standard topics expected in such a text, but their approach offers a unique conceptual thrust that takes readers beyond mere analytical terminology and facts. Evocative rather than encyclopedic, the text is organized around three elements at work at all levels of music: time, pattern, and proportion. Well-chosen examples and direct, well-crafted assignments reinforce techniques. A 140-page anthology of music for in-depth analysis provides a wide range of carefully selected works.

Book Synopsis The Red Priest: The Life of Antonio Vivaldi by : James Fritz
Download or read book The Red Priest: The Life of Antonio Vivaldi written by James Fritz and published by BookCaps Study Guides. This book was released on 2013-08-12 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Born in Venice, Italy, Antonio Vivaldi was one of the most influential and highly regarded Baroque composers, although his fame blazed only briefly. He is most remembered for his concertos, particularly “The Four Seasons,” but his overall production was enormous, ranging from orchestral and vocal music for both secular and church settings, as well as opera scores and libretti. In addition, Vivaldi was a master violinist and spent much of his career as an instructor at a famous institution for girls, the Hospital of Mercy. He was educated as a priest, but poor health and probably a lack of interest in the calling encouraged him to follow another path in life. During his lifetime, the red-haired virtuoso and opera impresario was easily among the most famous musicians in Italy; this fame eventually extended throughout civilized Europe. His name was sufficient to open doors to the richest and most powerful people in the Western world. Before his death, however, his heyday had long passed. After an extended period of obscurity, the music of Vivaldi underwent a revival in the early 20th century. This book is Vivaldi’s incredible story.

Download or read book Time Out Venice written by Editors Out and published by Time Out. This book was released on 2010-02-01 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Venice conjures images of gondolas drifting along misty canals and pigeon-feeding visitors dwarfed by the splendor of St. Mark’s. For tourists seeking these typical Venetian icons, this magical city will never disappoint. But for a more rounded experience, the longtime residents and experts who have contributed to Time Out Venice take readers down backstreets and into campi and calli where few tourists tread: to hidden churches with hidden artworks; to architectural and sculptural gems in concealed courtyards; and to districts where the everyday life of Venice goes on in time-honored, washing-festooned, market-haggling fashion. Included is a wealth of practical information on escaping the menu turistico to discover authentic eateries; hiring a gondola and coping with acqua alta; finding budget digs in a city of haute hotels; and traveling beyond the Venetian lagoon to the magnificent cities — Padua, Verona, Vicenza, Treviso — and countryside of the mainland Veneto region.
Download or read book Vivaldi written by Paul Everett and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1996-02-22 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Four Seasons and the rest of the concertos in Op. 8 represent Vivaldi's remarkable innovation in the field of the Baroque concerto. This detailed guide examines the work's origin and construction in a way that enables the reader to distinguish what is extraordinary about the Seasons and what constitutes the composer's customary method of 'characterising' the solo concerto. Drawing on recent research and his own expertise in the appraisal of Vivaldi's manuscripts, the author draws interesting and sometimes startling conclusions about the conception of the Seasons, the origin of their programme, the dating of the concertos and the rationale behind the collection's ritornello-form structures and aria-like slow movements. The significance of Vivaldi's idiosyncratic art is thus revealed in some of the most popular concert music of all time.
