Download or read book Parlar Cantando written by Elena Abramov-van Rijk and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2009 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a pioneering attempt to explore the fascinating and hardly known realm of reciting poetry in medieval and Renaissance Italy. The study of more than 50 treatises on both music and poetry, as well as other literary sources and documents from the period between 1300 and 1600, highlights above all the practice of parlar cantando («speaking through singing» - the term found in De li contrasti, a fourteenth-century treatise on poetry) as rooted in the art of reciting verses. Situating the practice of parlar cantando in the context of late medieval poetic delivery, the author sheds new light on the origin and history of late Renaissance opera style, which their inventors called stile recitativo, rappresentativo or, exactly, parlar cantando. The deepest roots of the Italian tradition of parlar cantando are thus revealed, and the cultural background of the birth of opera is reinterpreted and revisited from the much broader perspective of what appears to be the most important Italian mode of music making between the age of Dante and Petrarch and the beginning of Italian opera around 1600.

Download or read book Gateway to Italian Diction written by John Glenn Paton and published by Alfred Music. This book was released on 2004 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gateway to Italian Diction opens a path for aspiring singers to reach the goal of sounding authentically Italian in their singing. Beginning with a basic understanding of what diction is, Gateway to Italian Diction leads step by step to a full comman of the intricacies of the language, including: what to do when spelling does not reveal pronunciation; how to sing double consonants; which vowel to extend when two or more vowels are on one note. A key concept underlying of all of the books in the Gateway series is: Understanding what you sing. Every Italian example word or phrase is translated into English; singers never need to practice lists of words without understanding them. Each sound of the Italian language is explained: how it is produced, the ways it is spelled, how it combines with other sounds in diphthongs or consonant clusters, and the pitfalls it presents to a singer. Each sound is exemplified in a phrase chosen from Gateway to Italian Art Songs, a companion anthology. -- from back cover.

Download or read book Interactions between Orality and Writing in Early Modern Italian Culture written by Luca Degl’Innocenti and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-02 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Investigating the interrelationships between orality and writing in elite and popular textual culture in early modern Italy, this volume shows how the spoken or sung word on the one hand, and manuscript or print on the other hand, could have interdependent or complementary roles to play in the creation and circulation of texts. The first part of the book centres on performances, ranging from realizations of written texts to improvisations or semi-improvisations that might draw on written sources and might later be committed to paper. Case studies examine the poems sung in the piazza that narrated contemporary warfare, commedia dell'arte scenarios, and the performative representation of the diverse spoken languages of Italy. The second group of essays studies the influence of speech on the written word and reveals that, as fourteenth-century Tuscan became accepted as a literary standard, contemporary non-standard spoken languages were seen to possess an immediacy that made them an effective resource within certain kinds of written communication. The third part considers the roles of orality in the worlds of the learned and of learning. The book as a whole demonstrates that the borderline between orality and writing was highly permeable and that the culture of the period, with its continued reliance on orality alongside writing, was often hybrid in nature.
