Download or read book "Padron mio colendissimo...": Letters about Music and the Stage in the 18th Century written by Iskrena Yordanova. This book was released on 2021-06-28. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume explores the important role that epistolary exchanges play in the reconstruction of musical and theatrical contexts all over Europe in the early modern age, with particular attention to the century of the Enlightenment. Correspondence often bears witness to the reconstruction of performers' careers and theatrical venues, and to the transfers of professionals and repertoires, as well as to social themes and production issues. Archival sources, private letters, and official documents are not only rich in precious data and information, but can also provide material for new research perspectives, related both to their methodological implications and to the interpretation of music and theatre in a given time and place, along with raising questions about historical performance practices and their current revival.

Book Synopsis Operatic Pasticcios in 18th-Century Europe by : Berthold Over

Download or read book Operatic Pasticcios in 18th-Century Europe written by Berthold Over. This book was released on 2021-04-30. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Book Synopsis Sigismund Neukomm in Brazil by : Reinhard Eisendle

Download or read book Sigismund Neukomm in Brazil written by Reinhard Eisendle. This book was released on 2021-09-20. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the "Rio Don-Giovanni-Day", 20 September 2021, a concert is dedicated to the works of Sigismund Neukomm composed in and for Brazil. The programme also includes a composition by the Brazilian composer José Maurício Nunes Garcia (Rio 1767–1858), highly esteemed by Neukomm and occasionally described as "the Brazilian Mozart". He conducted the first performance of Mozart's Requiem with Neukomm's "Libera me" in the Igreja Nossa Senhora do Parto on 19 December 1819. The concert is a cooperation of Don Juan Archiv Wien with partners in Austria, Portugal, and Brazil: the Mozarteum University Salzburg, Divino Sospiro – Centro de Estudos Musicais Setecentistas de Portugal, and Musica Brasilis. Accordingly, the music will be performed in four locations: Vienna, Salzburg, Queluz/Lisbon, and Rio de Janeiro. While the partnering institutions' concerts with commentaries are recorded especially for this occasion, the performances in Vienna will be broadcast live.

Book Synopsis Serenata and Festa Teatrale in 18th Century Europe by : Iskrena Yordanova

Download or read book Serenata and Festa Teatrale in 18th Century Europe written by Iskrena Yordanova. This book was released on 2018-06-25. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is dedicated to "Serenata and Festa Teatrale in 18th Century Europe", especially to the production of this music-dramatic genre at the courts on the Iberian Peninsula, in Italy, and the Holy Roman Empire where it was an integral part of court ceremonials and a privileged ritual of repraesentatio maiestatis. The 16 studies on patrons and artists, exceptional events and local traditions, reveal highly interesting material for the research on these up to now largely neglected genre. Any approach to these works full of metaphors, symbols and allusions has to take into account the context of the celebration and the resulting multiplicity of aspects: choice of themes, dramaturgical forms, textual and musical structures, vocal and instrumental ensembles, and the various options regarding the stage apparatus. "Serenata and Festa Teatrale in 18th Century Europe", edited by Iskrena Yordanova (Lisbon) and Paologiovanni Maione (Naples), inaugurates the series "Cadernos de Queluz", a subseries of "Specula Spectacula" by Don Juan Archiv Wien.
