Book excerpt: In a dark age, as the Western Roman Empire teetered on the brink of the abyss, a leader would emerge destined to challenge adversity with unwavering determination. This is the story of Flavius Majorian, the last great emperor of a dying empire, told through the eyes of a servant who bore direct witness to his audacity. The figure of Majorian is often lost in the shadow of history, yet, in the darkest moments, he stood out as a bright light against rampant corruption, dwindling resources, and relentless barbarian threats. With sharp political wisdom and a sword forged in the fire of battles, Majorian managed to weave a tapestry of alliances with the barbarian kings, restoring lost territories and instilling a fragile yet tenacious hope in the hearts of the Romans. Our tale unfolds through the eyes of a loyal servant, who, walking in the corridors of power and on blood-soaked battlefields, reveals the humanity, challenges, and victories of an emperor who refused to bow down to fate. Every page is a journey back in time, where honour, tradition, and bravery clash with the brutality of ambitions and the coldness of betrayal. "Maiorianus" is not just a historical revelation but an emotional journey that rediscovers a forgotten hero and a lesson in resilience and dignity that resonates through the ages. With every word, the reader is pulled into a world of intrigue, hopes, and unparalleled sacrifices, reminding us that even in the darkest hours, the brilliance of Rome still shone in the heart of an indomitable man.

Download or read book Regina Mingotti Diva and Impresario at the King s Theatre London written by Michael Burden and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Regina Mingotti was the first female impresario to run London's opera house. Born in Naples in 1722, she was the daughter of an Austrian diplomat, and had worked at Dresden under Hasse from 1747. Mingotti left Germany in 1752, and travelled to Madrid to sing at the Spanish court, where the opera was directed by the great castrato, Farinelli. It is not known quite how Francesco Vanneschi, the opera promoter, came to hire Mingotti, but in 1754 (travelling to England via Paris), she was announced as being engaged for the opera in London 'having been admired at Naples and other parts of Italy, by all the Connoisseurs, as much for the elegance of her voice as that of her features'. Michael Burden offers the first considered survey of Mingotti‘s London years, including material on Mingotti's publication activities, and the identification of the characters in the key satirical print 'The Idol'. Burden makes a significant contribution to the knowledge and understanding of eighteenth-century singers' careers and status, and discusses the management, the finance, the choice of repertory, and the pasticcio practice at The King's Theatre, Haymarket during the middle of the eighteenth century. Burden also argues that Mingotti‘s years with Farinelli influenced her understanding of drama, fed her appreciation of Metastasio, and were partly responsible for London labelling her a 'female Garrick'. The book includes the important publication of the complete texts of both of Mingotti's Appeals to the Publick, accounts of the squabble between Mingotti and Vanneschi, which shed light on the role a singer could play in the replacement of arias.
Download or read book Music In European Capitals written by Daniel Heartz and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2003-05-27 with total page 1128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A glittering cultural tour of Europe's major capitals during a period of intense musical change. This volume continues the study of the eighteenth century begun in Haydn, Mozart, and the Viennese School 1740–1780 (1995) by focusing on the capital cities other than Vienna that were most important in the creation and diffusion of new music. It tells of events in Naples, where Vinci and Pergolesi went beyond their pre-1720 models to cultivate opera in a simpler, more direct manner, soon after christened the galant style. No less central was Venice, where Vivaldi perfected the concerto, on which were patterned the early symphonies and the newer kind of sonata. Dresden profited first from all these achievements and became, under Hasse's direction, the foremost center of Italian opera in Germany. Mannheim with its great orchestra did much to shape the modern symphony. A few years later, Paris became paramount, especially for its Opéra-Comique; during the 1770s the Opéra provided Gluck with a stage on which to cap his long international career. The book concludes with a description of Christian Bach in London, Paisiello in Saint Petersburg, and Boccherini in Madrid. This long-awaited book offers a view of eighteenth-century music that is broad and innovative while remaining sensitive to the values of those times and places. One comes away from it with an understanding of the European context behind the triumphs of Haydn and Mozart. Lavishly illustrated with music examples and reproductions, both in black-and-white and color, this master study will be of inestimable importance to scholars, cultural historians, performers, and all music lovers.
