Music in 17th and early 18th century Italy was wonderfully rich and
varied: in theatrical and secular vocal chamber music alone, we saw
the rise of the solo song and cantata, and the birth and growth of
opera, all establishing important new structural and expressive
paradigms. But this was also a complex time of uncertainty and
change, as 'old' and 'new' interacted in subtle and often
surprising ways. There is still much to document, explore and
explain in terms of composers and repertories and their
multi-layered contexts. This collection of essays by European,
British and American musicologists seeks to consolidate the recent
growth interest in seventeenth century studies. It includes
discussions of leading composers (d'India, Monteverdi, Rovetta,
Steffani, Albinoni, Vivaldi and Handel), repertories (chamber
laments, staged balli and operatic mad-scenes), geographical issues
(the arrival of Neapolitan opera in Venice), institutional
contexts, and iconography. Inspiration for the book was drawn from
the poineering research of Nigel Fortune, to whom the volume is
dedicated on his 70th birthday.
