Estas recomposições são duas: Monumentum pro Gesualdo ad CD annum, orquestração feita a partir de três madrigais de Gesualdo, e Tres Sacrae Cantiones, onde Stravinsky compõe as partes perdidas de três motetos de Gesualdo. Iniciando com o estudo do estilo de Gesualdo, baseado no trabalho de Turci-Escobar, as obras originais de Gesualdo recompostas por Stravinsky são analisadas. Comparando as recomposições de Stravinsky com a obra original de Gesualdo, a maneira como Stravinsky comenta a obra de Gesualdo em seu trabalho é investigada. A intenção é determinar como Stravinsky imprime seu estilo nessas peças, e como ele traz a música de Gesualdo para o século XX. / In this dissertation, a study of the Igor Stravinsky's re-compositions of Carlo Gesualdo's (ca. 1560-1613) works is presented. The re-compositions are two: Monumentum pro Gesualdo ad CD annum, a setting for instruments of three Gesualdos's madrigals, and Tres Sacrae Cantiones, where Stravinsky composed the missing parts of the three Gesualdo's motets. Starting with a study of Gesualdo's style, based on turci-Escobar's work, the original Gesualdo's pieces re-composed by Stravinsky are analyzed.By comparing Stravinsky's re-compositions and Gesualdo's works, the way that Stravinsky comments the Gesulado's style is investigated. The intention is both to determine how Stravinsky imprints his own style on to it and how he brings Gesualdo's music to XX Century.

TITLE: THE LANGUAGE OF MUSIC: Claudio Monteverdi as an innovator in the field of dealing with text in music. SUMMARY: The main topic of this Thesis is Claudio Monteverdi's work and its importance for the development of dealing with text in music of the late Renaissance and early Baroque period. In Monteverdi's compositions we can follow the evolution of counterpoint techniques reaching from the traditional 16th century vocal polyphony to the purely monodic approach to composition that is typical of Baroque music. The text works as a creative element that affects the author's way of working, leading him from the first experiments with the musical representation of each word in the madrigal to a dramatic expression of the text in the style of opera. In his work Monteverdi uses wordpainting to an unprecedented extent. He invents new musical expression for words that contain a strong emotional charge, like subtle rhythmic figures for joyful words, or sharp dissonances for words conveying pain. He is the first composer to achieve excellence in combining flawless technical skill with the dramatic line of the composition. His work forms an imaginary bridge between music of two periods: in the first period text is perceived as a mere "servant" of music but becomes the "ruler" of it in the later one. The Thesis...
