La música en el Occidente medieval

Autor: Margot Fassler

Número de Páginas: 370

Recurriendo a un análisis imaginativo pero sin perder un ápice de rigor, el presente libro reconstruye el repertorio de la música medieval recurriendo a un amplio abanico de fuentes, que suple, en muchos casos, la carencia de fuentes primarias. Además de destacar las funciones ceremoniales y dramatúrgicas de la música medieval tanto en las esferas sacra y profana, la autora pone especial atención en el intercambio de idea musicales, el desarrollo de la notación musical y otros medios de fijación y transmisión, y el papel de las mujeres en la cultura musical de la época. Del mundo escandinavo a la península Ibérica, del canto gregoriano a los trovadores, el lector descubrirá un panorama rico y lleno de matices, muy alejado de la imagen plana y gris que, por desconocimiento, se suele tener de la Edad Media. El volumen incluye al final un manual básico de música medieval, en la que se incluyen fuentes y conceptos clave para su estudio y práctica interpretativa.

Gelosia del Sole

Autor: Girolamo Britonio

Número de Páginas: 1663

Nel primo ventennio del Cinquecento, dopo la caduta della dinastia aragonese, sono poche le esperienze poetiche che riescono a cristallizzarsi in raccolte di un certo impegno, non solo prima, ma anche dopo la pubblicazione delle Rime di Sannazaro (1530). Tra gli esempi più significativi spicca l’edizione nel 1519 a Napoli, presso Sigismondo Mayr, della Gelosia del Sole di Girolamo Britonio: una ponderosa raccolta, dedicata a Vittoria Colonna, formata da 454 rime (345 sonetti, 43 canzoni, 37 madrigali, 20 sestine, delle quali ben 7 doppie, 7 ballate e 2 componimenti in terza rima). Il presente contributo offre un’inquadratura dell’opera in questo periodo di transizione, nonché fornisce l’edizione critica commentata della raccolta, compiuta sulla base dell’edizione princeps del 1519. Durant les vingt premières années du XVIe siècle, à la suite de la chute de la dynastie aragonaise, peu d’expériences poétiques parviennent à se cristalliser en un recueil d’une quelque importance, avant et également après la publication des Rime de Sannazaro (1530). La parution, en 1519 à Naples, chez Sigismondo Mayr, de la Gelosia del Sole de Girolamo Britonio est l’un des...

Parlar Cantando

Autor: Elena Abramov-van Rijk

Número de Páginas: 420

This book is a pioneering attempt to explore the fascinating and hardly known realm of reciting poetry in medieval and Renaissance Italy. The study of more than 50 treatises on both music and poetry, as well as other literary sources and documents from the period between 1300 and 1600, highlights above all the practice of parlar cantando («speaking through singing» - the term found in De li contrasti, a fourteenth-century treatise on poetry) as rooted in the art of reciting verses. Situating the practice of parlar cantando in the context of late medieval poetic delivery, the author sheds new light on the origin and history of late Renaissance opera style, which their inventors called stile recitativo, rappresentativo or, exactly, parlar cantando. The deepest roots of the Italian tradition of parlar cantando are thus revealed, and the cultural background of the birth of opera is reinterpreted and revisited from the much broader perspective of what appears to be the most important Italian mode of music making between the age of Dante and Petrarch and the beginning of Italian opera around 1600.

Music in the Age of Chaucer

Autor: Nigel Wilkins

Número de Páginas: 228

Survey of the relationship between music and literature in 14c France, Italy and Britain, with appendix of all songs attributed to Chaucer. An absorbing survey... He is an expert on the French song of the period, consequently his wider view of Chaucer's musical background is well worth reading ... and he has much to say about Italy and England. The music is first-rate, and early music performers will find these songs a welcome addition to their repertory. EARLY MUSIC Although Chaucer himself was never described as a musician, a number of his poems are based on French models which belongto a well-established musical tradition, and there are also many references to musical activities in his larger works. This is the starting point for Dr Wilkins's book, which explores both the wider question of the relationship between music and literature in the fourteenth century and the specific area of Chaucer `songs'. He surveys the musical and literary scene in France, Italy and Britain during Chaucer's lifetime, with special emphasis on composers such as Machaut and Landini, and on the differences in national styles. The performance of music and the instruments used are also fully explored....

Approaches to Teaching Petrarch's Canzoniere and the Petrarchan Tradition

Autor: Christopher Kleinhenz , Andrea Dini

Número de Páginas: 310

One of the most important authors of the Middle Ages, Petrarch occupies a complex position: historically, he is a medieval author, but, philosophically, he heralds humanism and the Renaissance. Teachers of Petrarch's Canzoniere and his formative influence on the canon of Western European poetry face particular challenges. Petrarch's poetic style brings together the classical tradition, Christianity, an exalted sense of poetic vocation, and an obsessive love for Laura during her life and after her death in ways that can seem at once very strange and--because of his style's immense influence--very familiar to students. This volume aims to meet the varied needs of instructors, whether they teach Petrarch in Italian or in translation, in surveys or in specialized courses, by providing a wealth of pedagogical approaches to Petrarch and his legacy. Part 1, "Materials," reviews the extensive bibliography on Petrarch and Petrarchism, covering editions and translations of the Canzoniere, secondary works, and music and other audiovisual and electronic resources. Part 2, "Approaches," opens with essays on teaching the Canzoniere and continues with essays on teaching the Petrarchan tradition. ...

Dante's New Life of the Book

Autor: Martin Eisner

Número de Páginas: 278

Dante's Vita nuova has taken on a wide variety of different forms since its first publication in 1294. How could one work have generated such different physical forms? Through examining the work's transformations in manuscripts, printed books, translations, and adaptations, Eisner reconceives of the relationship between the work and its reception. Dante's New Life of the Book investigates how these different material manifestations participate in the work, drawing attention to its distinctive elements. Dante framed his book as an attempt to understand his own experiences through the experimental form of the book, and later scribes, editors, and translators use different material forms to embody their interpretations of Dante's collection of thirty-one poems surrounded by prose narrative and commentary. Traveling from Boccaccio's Florence to contemporary Hollywood with stops in Emerson's Cambridge, Rossetti's London, Nerval's Paris, Mandelstam's Russia, De Campos's Brazil, and Pamuk's Istanbul, this study builds on extensive archival research to show how Dante's strange poetic forms, including incomplete canzoni and sonnets with two beginnings, continue to challenge readers.

Francesco Petrarch's Rime Disperse, Series A

Autor: Joseph A. Barber

Número de Páginas: 217

First published in 1991. It was the lyric poetry of Petrarch that popularized the sonnet in European literature, that set the standard for love poetry for centuries to follow. Compared to the large volume of prose, poetry and notes in Latin, the corpus of Petrarch’s Italian writings is small: the 366 poems that make up the Canzoniere, the 2000 or so verses of the Trionfi, and an undetermined number of poems, drafts and fragments that comprise what we call the Rime disperse. This collection includes indexes of first lines in both Italian and English.

Dante: De vulgari eloquentia

Autor: Dante

Número de Páginas: 144

De vulgari eloquentia, written by Dante in the early years of the fourteenth century, is the only known work of medieval literary theory to have been produced by a practising poet, and the first to assert the intrinsic superiority of living, vernacular languages over Latin. Its opening consideration of language as a sign-system includes foreshadowings of twentieth-century semiotics, and later sections contain the first serious effort at literary criticism based on close analytical reading since the classical era. Steven Botterill here offers an accurate Latin text and a readable English translation of the treatise, together with notes and introductory material, thus making available a work which is relevant not only to Dante's poetry and the history of Italian literature, but to our whole understanding of late medieval poetics, linguistics, and literary practice.

Music in Golden-Age Florence, 1250–1750

Autor: Anthony M. Cummings

Número de Páginas: 512

A comprehensive account of music in Florence from the late Middle Ages until the end of the Medici dynasty in the mid-eighteenth century. Florence is justly celebrated as one of the world’s most important cities. It enjoys mythic status and occupies an enviable place in the historical imagination. But its musico-historical importance is not as well understood as it should be. If Florence was the city of Dante, Michelangelo, and Galileo, it was also the birthplace of the madrigal, opera, and the piano. Music in Golden-Age Florence, 1250–1750 recounts Florence’s principal contributions to music and the history of how music was heard and cultivated in the city, from civic and religious institutions to private patronage and the academies. This book is an invaluable complement to studies of the art, literature, and political thought of the late-medieval and early-modern eras and the quasi-legendary figures in the Florentine cultural pantheon.

Senza Vestimenta: The Literary Tradition of Trecento Song

Autor: Lauren Jennings

Número de Páginas: 313

The metaphor of marriage often describes the relationship between poetry and music in both medieval and modern writing. While the troubadours stand out for their tendency to blur the distinction between speaking and singing, between poetry and song, a certain degree of semantic slippage extends into the realm of Italian literature through the use of genre names like canzone, sonetto, and ballata. Yet, paradoxically, scholars have traditionally identified a 'divorce' between music and poetry as the defining feature of early Italian lyric. Senza Vestimenta reintegrates poetic and musical traditions in late medieval Italy through a fresh evaluation of more than fifty literary sources transmitting Trecento song texts. These manuscripts have been long noted by musicologists, but until now they have been used to bolster rather than to debunk the notion that so-called 'poesia per musica' was relegated to the margins of poetic production. Jennings revises this view by exploring how scribes and readers interacted with song as a fundamentally interdisciplinary art form within a broad range of literary settings. Her study sheds light on the broader cultural world surrounding the reception of ...

Poetry Kaleidoscope

Autor: Nicolae Sfetcu

Número de Páginas: 421

Introduction in poetry: nature of poetry, tools, history, terms (periods, styles and movements, technical means, tropes, measures of verse, verse forms, national poetry... Poetry (ancient Greek: ποιεω (poieo) = I create) is traditionally a written art form (although there is also an ancient and modern poetry which relies mainly upon oral or pictorial representations) in which human language is used for its aesthetic qualities in addition to, or instead of, its notional and semantic content. The increased emphasis on the aesthetics of language and the deliberate use of features such as repetition, meter and rhyme, are what are commonly used to distinguish poetry from prose, but debates over such distinctions still persist, while the issue is confounded by such forms as prose poetry and poetic prose. Some modernists (such as the Surrealists) approach this problem of definition by defining poetry not as a literary genre within a set of genres, but as the very manifestation of human imagination, the substance which all creative acts derive from.
