The action takes place at Naples, the first act opening upon the wedding festivities of Princess Elvira and Alphonso, son of the Duke of Areos. Fenella, a dumb girl, interrupts the gaiety by imploring in pantomime protection from one of the nobles of the court who has caused her to be imprisoned. Elvira promises to care for Fenella, who discovers her persecutor in Alphonso. Unable to enter the chapel where the ceremony is performed, Fenella denounces Alphonso to his bride as they return from the altar. Masaniello, brother of Fenella, is seen in the second act encouraging the fisherman with song, while they are busy with boats and nets. Fenella tries to throw herself into the sea, but is rescued by Masaniello. Still in dumb show, the girl tells the story of her wrongs, Masaniello vows vengeance, and urges his friends to aid in effecting a revolution. The third act represents the market place of Naples. Selva, an officer of the Duke, attempts to arrest Fenella, and at a signal from Masaniello the revolt begins. In the fourth act, Fenella and Masaniello are shown in their cottage at the close of day. Pietro enters to tell Masaniello that Alphonso has escaped, and Masaniello and his lieutenant have hardly left the cottage when Alphonso and Elvira enter, appealing to Fenella for shelter. The dumb girl determines to save her false lover and his bride, and when Masaniello returns, he confirms her promise, although Pietro protests. The act closes with the proclamation of Masaniello as King of Naples. In the fifth act Masaniello becomes insane from poison administered by Pietro, and hearing that an army is approaching to attack the city, rushes forth to lead his band of patriots and is killed in battle. Mt. Vesuvius is in eruption. Fenella, ..

Download or read book The Invention of Folk Music and Art Music written by Matthew Gelbart and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2007-10-11 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We tend to take for granted the labels we put to different forms of music. This study considers the origins and implications of the way in which we categorize music. Whereas earlier ways of classifying music were based on its different functions, for the past two hundred years we have been obsessed with creativity and musical origins, and classify music along these lines. Matthew Gelbart argues that folk music and art music became meaningful concepts only in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, and only in relation to each other. He examines how cultural nationalism served as the earliest impetus in classifying music by origins, and how the notions of folk music and art music followed - in conjunction with changing conceptions of nature, and changing ideas about human creativity. Through tracing the history of these musical categories, the book confronts our assumptions about different kinds of music.
Download or read book Genre in a Changing World written by Charles Bazerman and published by Parlor Press LLC. This book was released on 2009-09-16 with total page 486 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Genre studies and genre approaches to literacy instruction continue to develop in many regions and from a widening variety of approaches. Genre has provided a key to understanding the varying literacy cultures of regions, disciplines, professions, and educational settings. GENRE IN A CHANGING WORLD provides a wide-ranging sampler of the remarkable variety of current work. The twenty-four chapters in this volume, reflecting the work of scholars in Europe, Australasia, and North and South America, were selected from the over 400 presentations at SIGET IV (the Fourth International Symposium on Genre Studies) held on the campus of UNISUL in Tubarão, Santa Catarina, Brazil in August 2007—the largest gathering on genre to that date. The chapters also represent a wide variety of approaches, including rhetoric, Systemic Functional Linguistics, media and critical cultural studies, sociology, phenomenology, enunciation theory, the Geneva school of educational sequences, cognitive psychology, relevance theory, sociocultural psychology, activity theory, Gestalt psychology, and schema theory. Sections are devoted to theoretical issues, studies of genres in the professions, studies of genre and media, teaching and learning genre, and writing across the curriculum. The broad selection of material in this volume displays the full range of contemporary genre studies and sets the ground for a next generation of work.
