Singing Dante: The Literary Origins of Cinquecento Monody (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book takes its departure from an experiment presented by Vincenzo Galilei in the Florentine Camerata in about 1580. This first demonstration of the stile recitativo is known from a single later source, a letter written in 1634 by Pietro dei Bardi. This report has remained a curiosity in the history of music, and it has seemed impossible to determine the true significance of Galilei's presentation. Unfortunately the music is lost, yet we know the poetic text chosen by Galilei was an excerpt from the Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri. Starting from this information the author considers Galilei's motives for choosing this text and sheds light on some of the features of his experiment.
