Operatic Pasticcios in 18th-Century Europe

Autore: Berthold Over , Gesa Zur Nieden

Numero di pagine: 799

In Early Modern times, techniques of assembling, compiling and arranging pre-existing material were part of the established working methods in many arts. In the world of 18th-century opera, such practices ensured that operas could become a commercial success because the substitution or compilation of arias fitting the singer's abilities proved the best recipe for fulfilling the expectations of audiences. Known as »pasticcios« since the 18th-century, these operas have long been considered inferior patchwork. The volume collects essays that reconsider the pasticcio, contextualize it, define its preconditions, look at its material aspects and uncover its aesthetical principles.

Verdi's Middle Period

Autore: Martin Chusid

Numero di pagine: 452

During the middle phase of his career, 1849-1859, Verdi created some of his best-loved and most frequently performed operas, including Luisa Miller, Rigoletto, Il trovatore, La traviata, and Un ballo in maschera. This was also the period in which he wrote his first completely original French grand opera, Les Vepres siciliennes; the first version of Simon Boccanegra; and the intensely dramatic Stiffelio, until recent years the most neglected of all Verdi's mature works for the operatic stage. Featuring contributions from many of the most active Verdi scholars in the United States and Europe, Verdi's Middle Period explores the operas composed during this period from three interlinked perspectives: studies of the original source material, cross-disciplinary analyses of musical and textual issues, and the relationship of performance practice to Verdi's musical and dramatic conception. Both musicologists and serious opera buffs will enjoy this distinguished collection.

Autore: Steven L. Rickards

Numero di pagine: 416

In Twentieth-Century Countertenor Repertoire, Steven L. Rickards has provided a reference listing of over 600 entries, compiling and cataloging information about repertoire composed specifically for the countertenor from 1950 to 2000. Rickards collects works from 30 countries with texts in 31 languages-including early forms of Akkadian, English, Flemish, French, and Greek-representing over 350 composers.

Rickards also provides the who, when, and where of the premier; whether the piece was commissioned or not, and, if so, by whom; and the publisher and availability of the piece. He also offers the composers' and his own observations on the work, including the difficulty and appropriateness of the work for differing levels of singers, from students to professionals. Several indexes break the material down into searchable pieces, listing compositions by title, author of...

Federico Fellini

Autore: Gordiano Lupi

Numero di pagine: 30

Federico Fellini è il regista Italiano maggiormente conosciuto nel mondo; egli è un autore fondamentale e atipico del cinema italiano, sinonimo di regista geniale, simbolo di fantasia, leggerezza, umorismo, sentimentalismo, ironia graffiante e grande originalità. La sua opera è un mosaico composito che commuove, diverte, modifica il mondo, rende nostalgici, sognatori e fa spiccare voli pindarici di fantasia. In questo libro Gordiano Lupi ripercorre la vita del grande artista, propone al lettore un'analisi delle opere ed una visione dei suoi rapporti con il mondo. Il testo è accompagnato da un'esclusiva selezione di fotografie, che mostrano Fellini sul set dei più importanti film, in occasione degli eventi che hanno caratterizzato la sua carriera e le poche, rare foto, che lo ritraggono nella vita privata.

A History of Music in Western Culture

Autore: Mark Evan Bonds

Numero di pagine: 704

A History of Music in Western Culture 3/e is based on the premise that the best way to convey the history of Western music is to focus squarely on the music. Organized around a carefully selected repertory of works, this text integrates the requisite names, dates, and concepts around specific compositions. Once familiar with a representative body of music, students can better grasp the evolution of musical style and music's changing uses within the Western tradition. Even more importantly, they will have a sound basis from which to explore other musical works and repertories. This text builds its narrative around the core repertory represented in the Anthology of Scores and the corresponding sets of compact discs.

The Oratorio in Modena

Autore: Victor Crowther

Numero di pagine: 240

In the late seventeenth century the oratorio in Italy was in a state of flux. Ostensibly religious in character, it was becoming increasingly prone to operatic influence and political pressure from such wealthy patrons as Francesco Il d'Este, duke of Modena from 1674 to 1694. This study of the oratorio in Modena offers a critical survey of Francesco II's oratorio collection, describes the development of the oratorio tradition, and covers general historical matters which had an effect upon it.

Mozart

Autore: Alan Tyson

Numero di pagine: 406

The results and implications of Alan Tyson's work on Mozart have had a profound impact on virtually every aspect of research on this composer: biography, chronology of compositions, working methods, stylistic analysis. Central, perhaps, are Tyson's discoveries on chronology: time and again he has proved that datings, often of large, well-known works, that have been accepted for generations are not only erroneous but based on little more than speculation. This book assembles his major articles, previously scattered through magazines, journals, and festschrifts, plus two unpublished pieces, into a treasure trove for musicologists and music lovers. Tyson's investigations, using primarily paper analysis, span Mozart's entire career and the full range of genres--string quartets, operas, choral music, keyboard music, concertos, and symphonies. He goes into the genesis of major works such as Cosi fan tutte, the "Prague" Symphony, the Piano Sonata K.333, the "Haydn" quartets, and La clemenza di Tito. His conclusions about chronology bear directly on biographical questions and current accounts of Mozart's stylistic development as well as his compositional methods. We learn here, for...
