Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Song of Italy We have but re-echoed the judgment of all competent critics, in saying that Swinburne rightfully ranks with the few great poets of this and Of other ages. His present work is one oi the finest artistic efforts which we have ever chanced to encounter. It has more human interest than his 'atalanta in Calydon, ' while it is couched in the same vigorous and splendid diction and 'is richly dight' with melodious and sweetly magnificent songs. His portraiture is one of the amplest, most thoroughly elaborated, and most gorgeously coloured, in the whole wide range of British poetry - Nsw Yoxx weekly review, December 9th, 1865.

This book was released on 2018-03-07 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Masters of Italian Music No one who ventures to write about modern Italian music can hope to avoid a certain element of monotony. At the present time, and indeed for many years past, music in Italy has meant Opera, and Opera alone. The vast majority of Italian composers devote their best energies to this peculiarly national form of art, while those who cultivate its other branches constitute a minority so insignificant as scarcely to be worthy of mention. In France and Germany Opera has divided honours with Orchestral Music and Oratorio. In Italy it has reigned supreme. In England, except at a few favoured moments, Opera has always been an exotic. At the present time, as a national form of art it is practically non-existent. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Early Italian Songs and Airs Vol 1 written by Pietro Floridia and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2019-01-14 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Early Italian Songs and Airs, Vol. 1: Caccini to Bononcini for High Voice As a possible remedy to this, the present edition was originated. The Editor has taken the pure, Old melody, - the melody alone, leaving aside original figured bass and everything else that was not the pure melody. He decided that in these pieces there are two distinét elements first, the melody, deriving from that warm, instinétive, almost unconscious power called ln spiration: second, the working-out, which is the cold reasoning Of the scholar, with all the limitations imposed by the imperfect scientific knowledge Of those Old times, and has con cluded that this second element could be absolutely negleéted and discarded. Then he has tried as far as possible to assimilate the melody, almost to the point Of making it his own, working, it out in his own way, but always trying to keep in conformity with the spirit Of the times, both the Old and the new, and with the charaéter of the melody in its most intimate significance and musical meaning.

Download or read book Spanish and Italian Folk Songs Classic Reprint written by Alma Strettell and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-23 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Spanish and Italian Folk-Songs The original gipsy rhymes - some rude specimens of which may be found in Borrow's Gzprz'er of Spain - are in a Jargon of Spanish Rommany, unintelligible to most Spaniards; but although these last despise the abject and down-trodden Jitanos, their songs and dances have always found many admirers, among the Andalusians especially. Probably as a consequence of this, the gipsy singers and improvisatori seem, as far back as the end of the last century, to have adopted for their songs a form and dialect more comprehensible to their Spanish audiences. Among these they found pupils and imitators, who were the means of further intermingling the gipsy poetry with the Spanish.

Download or read book Fable and Song in Italy Classic Reprint written by Ellen Mary Clerke and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-09 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fable and Song in Italy The aim of this little volume is twofold. First, to trace out some of the influences acting on the more popular forms of Italian song; and secondly, to offer to English readers, in the shape of translated extracts, specimens of Italian poets whose works difficulties of language have hitherto rendered inaccessible to the general public. In carrying out the first part of my programme, I have specially dwelt in the early chapters on the survival of classical myths in popular tradition, and on their trans formation and modification at the hands of minstrels and poets. As Boiardo is the great exemplar, among the more polished bards, of this species of assimilation, I have illustrated it by following out some of the episodes in which he has thus blended antique and mediaeval mythology, so as to present them in consecutive and intelligible form. It is only in this fashion that the chivalric epic can be rendered readable to contempo raries, since its prolixity and discursiveness make it wearisome to pursue continuously as a whole. Its ori ginal composition for piecemeal recitation places it in a totally different category from modern literature, addressed primarily to the mind through the eye. In the chapters on Giusti and Manzoni I have tried to emphasise their position as the two great influences on the growth of modern Italian, the one through his verse, the other through his prose, the unapproached and unapproachable masterpieces of their respective spheres of art. My second object has been in the selection of passages for translation, to Open up as far as possible new ground, choosing works that have not as yet been naturalised in English literature. Since there is no version of the Orlando Innamorato in our language, I have drawn largely on it for passages illustrative of my subject, especially as its beauties are, even in Italian, disguised by the obsoleteness of the language, and it has therefore the less to lose in the change of dress. In my selections from Ariosto, again, I have borrowed more extensively from his sparkling verse-letters than from his better known Orlando Furioso, since the latter is available in a very adequate English translation.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Literary Sources of Secular Music in Italy (Ca. 1500) The flood of verses in this vein is preserved for us in musical setting not only in the eleven books of frottole published by Ottaviano Petrucci between the years 1504 and 1514 in Venice and Fossombrone, but also in a great many contemporary manuscripts and prints.4 From the plenitude of source material I have attempted to segregate and identify works by men of accepted literary rank, whose verses were obviously exemplary to the layman.
