This study fills a gap in general histories of the oratorio. The
number of oratorio performances given in Venice from 1662-1809 was
huge, yet the contribution of the city to the history of the genre
is often overlooked. Denis and Elsie Arnold examine the fortunes of
the genre in Venice, beginning with the arrival of the Oratorians
in c.1660 and their establishment at the church of S. Maria della
Consolazione (the Fava). The book charts the early success of
oratorios by Legrenzi and Pallavicino in the latter part of the
seventeenth century, the fallow years from c.1700-1740, and the
great revival of interest in oratorio from the 1740s through to
1770 with works by Scalabrini, Jommeli, Galuppi and Bertoni. The
volume features a list of all the oratorios given in Venice from
1662-1809. It also includes a list of singers which helps us to
date a great deal of Venetian church music of the period.
