2	Gaetano Donizetti, Saverio Mercadante, and the Evolution and Development of the Verdi Baritone Krueger, Nathan Elliott January 2011 (has links) The leading baritone roles in the operas of Giuseppe Verdi, known as Verdi baritone roles, presented new challenges for the singers who first interpreted these roles. Their demanding tessitura and complex characterizations tested the skill of a generation of singers who began their careers singing the roles of Gioacchino Rossini, Gaetano Donizetti, Saverio Mercadante, Vincenzo Bellini and Giovanni Pacini in the lighter, bel canto style. The purpose of this study is to examine the careers of singers active in Italy between 1830 and 1845 and to provide insight as to which roles written before the premiere of Verdi's Nabucco contained similar vocal and characterization demands. Through examination of available Italian opera house annals, ten singers were identified by the author as precursors to the Verdi baritone, and are categorized into three groups: the pre-Verdi baritones, the transitional baritones and the established Verdi baritones. A brief biography of each singer is included, as well as an appendix for each singer that includes roles performed, dates and locations of the performances. The title role in Donizetti's Torquato Tasso and the role of Manfredo in Mercadante's Il giuramento were determined to be the roles most similar to Verdi's Nabucco. Each role is analyzed in terms of characterization and tessitura demands, and is compared using tessitura charts that account for the frequency and duration of individual pitches. The roles are divided into sections, and each section is designated by its overall range, primary tessitura, secondary tessitura, and weighted pitches. These designations provide quantifiable evidence that each role presents similar challenges for the baritone. dramatic Mercadante Torquato Tasso Verdi Music baritone Donizetti
3	L'Amor di Marfisa de Danese Cataneo dans la tradition du poème épique de la Renaissance italienne. Chiarelli, Angelo 01 October 2021 (has links) (PDF) La thèse est consacrée à la production littéraire de Danese Cataneo (1512-1572), architecte et sculpteur rattaché à l’école de Jacopo Sansovino, mais aussi un poète apprécié dans son époque et grand ami de Bernardo et Torquato Tasso, de Pierre L’Arétin et de Giorgio Vasari. Cataneo est l’auteur d’un poème intitulé De l’Amor di Marfisa publié en treize chants en 1562 par Francesco de’ Franceschi Senese, le même éditeur qui, dans la même année, a également publié le Rinaldo du Tasse. Selon le projet originaire de l’auteur, l’œuvre aurait dû se composer de quarante chants. Aujourd’hui nous sommes en mesure de combler en partie la lacune du texte imprimé, grâce au ms. Chig. I.VI.239 de la Bibliothèque Vaticane, qui conserve une rédaction du poème en vingt-quatre chants, ainsi que les résumés en prose non seulement des 24 chants survécus, mais aussi des 16 actuellement non repérables, compilée par Niccolò Cataneo, petit-fils de l’auteur. Le but de la thèse est, donc, l’édition critique du poème sur la base de ce dernier manuscrit qui représente la dernière volonté de l’auteur. L’édition est accompagnée d’une introduction qui analyse toute la production littéraire de l’auteur (sonnets, éloges panégyriques, poèmes inachevés, etc.) et qui en même temps permet de situer le poème dans le débat sur le genre du poème épique né en marge à la redécouverte d’Aristote. / Doctorat en Langues, lettres et traductologie / info:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublished Langues et littérature italiennes Danese Cataneo Renaissance Épopée Torquato Tasso
4	(Ne) Habeas corpus: The Body and the Body Politic in the Figures of the Ambassador and the Courtesan in Renaissance Italy De Santo, Paola Chiara January 2014 (has links) This dissertation offers a comparative study of two key figures of the Italian Renaissance, the ambassador and the courtesan, and the place of their bodies in relation to the Renaissance body politic. In studying myriad textual spaces of the body natural within writings by and about these two seemingly opposite figures, I find that these spaces range from the material to the metaphorical. In the Renaissance material spaces were increasingly allocated to both figures, urban confinement for the prostitute, and the establishment of the embassy for the ambassador. Metaphorically, the prostitute becomes the "body" of the state, while the ambassador personifies its "mind". My dissertation proves that by allocating such material and metaphorical spaces to these figures, the early modern state effectively denies them the possibility of ownership over their own bodies. This ownership, however, is rhetorically reclaimed, I argue, through the bodies of their own texts. / Romance Languages and Literatures Romance literature Ambassadors Courtesans History of Diplomacy Italian Renaissance Italian Renaissance Poetry Torquato Tasso
5	Os Discorsi dell\'arte poetica: tradução e leituras portuguesas / The Discorsi dell\'arte poetica: translation and Portuguese readings Silva, Denis Cesar da 30 September 2015 (has links) Os Discorsi dellarte poetica, ed in particolare sopra il poema eroico são um texto de preceptiva poética relativa ao gênero épico escrito por Torquato Tasso. Sua primeira edição foi publicada em Veneza no ano de 1587, porém sua produção data da década de 1560, durante a qual o poeta dava curso a sua formação humanista junto a letrados proeminentes das academias de Pádua, como Sperone Speroni e Scipione Gonzaga. O texto situa-se no âmbito das discussões quinhentistas acerca do poema épico, em que a retomada dos estudos aristotélicos, em meados daquele século, ensejou a recodificação dos romanzi, narrativas em língua vulgar versificadas sobre os feitos de cavaleiros andantes. A Gerusalemme liberata, obra-prima de Tasso, representa a consubstanciação desse processo. Para este trabalho, ao lado da tradução integral em língua portuguesa das três partes que compõem os Discorsi, apresentamos um estudo monográfico, abrangente, porém não exaustivo, de interfaces possíveis entre o texto italiano e os escritos críticos de alguns dos mais representativos letrados portugueses do século XVII, como Manuel de Faria e Sousa, Manuel Severim e Faria, Manuel Pires de Almeida e João Franco Barreto. Desejamos com isso evidenciar a presença de ideias italianas entre os leitores seiscentistas de Camões e a existência de uma pauta de discussões comum, em Itália e Portugal, referente à constituição do poema épico, considerado, nos séculos XVI e XVII, o mais elevado entre as espécies de poesia. / The Discorsi dell\'arte poetica, ed in particolare sopra il poema eroico are a text by Torquato Tasso regarding poetic precepts of the epic genre. It was first published in Venice, in 1587, although its production dates back to the decade of 1560, a period in which the poet cultivated his humanistic formation along with prominent literates from the academies of Padua, such as Sperone Speroni and Scipione Gonzaga. The text is situated in the scope of 15th century discussions about the epic poem, in which the resume of the Aristotelian studies, in the middle of that century, gave rise to the recodification of the romanzi, versified narratives in vernacular on the achievements of knights-errant. Gerusalemme liberata, Tasso\'s masterpiece, represents the consubstantiation of such process. For this work, along with the literal translation to Portuguese of the three parts that compose the Discorsi, we present a monographic study extensive, but not exhaustive of possible interfaces between the Italian text and the critical writings of some of the most representative Portuguese literates of the 17th century, such as Manuel de Faria e Sousa, Manuel Severim e Faria, Manuel Pires de Almeida and João Franco Barreto. Thus we aim at evidencing the presence of Italian ideas among the 16th century readers of Camões and the existence of a common agenda of discussions, in Italy and in Portugal, concerning the constitution of the epic poem, considered in the 16th and the 17th centuries the most elevated among the species of poetry. 16th century 17th century Crítica portuguesa seiscentista Discorsi dell'arte poetica Discorsi dellarte poetica Luís de Camões Luís de Camões Poética Poetics Portuguese 17th century criticism Retórica Rhetoric Século XVI Século XVII Torquato Tasso Torquato Tasso

7	I Fasti sacri di Sforza Pallavicino: edizione e commento APOLLONIO, SILVIA 15 April 2013 (has links) Con l’edizione commentata di un’opera giovanile di Sforza Pallavicino, il poema inedito e incompleto 'I fasti sacri', si cerca di fornire una ulteriore tessera utile a comprendere e definire le caratteristiche della poetica del circolo barberiniano nella Roma di inizio Seicento. In apertura dell’opera il 'Discorso intorno al seguente poema' raccoglie le dichiarazioni esplicite della poetica del Pallavicino, a partire dalla riflessione di Tasso sul poema; seguono poi sette canti, ognuno dei quali è anticipato e riassunto da un 'Soggetto' in prosa. In essi l’autore, sul modello dei 'Fasti' di Ovidio, rilegge il calendario in chiave cristiana, raccontando le vicende dei principali santi e martiri di ogni mese. La stesura del testo, sotto la supervisione di Papa Urbano VIII, sembra avvicinarsi alle operazioni di revisione del 'Martyrologium Romanum', in particolare all’edizione voluta dallo stesso Urbano nel 1630. L’opera, in stretta sintonia con la 'Poetica sacra' di Giovanni Ciampoli ma che dialoga anche con altri testi del classicismo barberiniano, si propone come alternativa alla poesia avvertita come lasciva e mendace della scuola marinista, in un’opposizione spesso polemica, ma che mostra a volte alcune interessanti consonanze con le opere di Marino stesso e di alcuni esponenti del marinismo moderato. / The commented edition of the unpublished and unfinished poem ‘I fasti sacri’, written by Sforza Pallavicino in the first years of his poetic activity, proposes new interesting information about Barberini’s circle in Rome, at the beginning of XVII century. Explicit definitions on poetic matter are in the ‘Discorso intorno al seguente poema’, with argumentations taken from the theoretical consideration on the epic poem by Tasso. On the model of Ovid’s ‘Fasti’, throughout seven cantos, each one anticipated by a subject in prose, the author covers the Christian calendar narrating the stories of some important saints and martyrs, in the same years of the revision of ‘Martyrologium Romanum’ promoted by the Pope Urban VIII. The poem, extremely close to ‘Poetica sacra’ by Giovanni Ciampoli but also in dialogue with other works of the classicism of Barberini’s circle, proposes itself as an alternative to Marino’s poetry, perceived like lascivious and mendacious. Notwithstanding an often polemic opposition to Secentismo, the text reveals some interesting consonances with Marino’s works, as well as with other authors of the moderate Marinism.

8	'Wounded Harts' : metaphor and desire in the epic-romances of Tasso, Sidney, and Spenser Phelps, Paul Chandler January 2014 (has links) If we consider the representation of the body in the epic-romances of Torquato Tasso, Philip Sidney, and Edmund Spenser, certain instances of wounding and laceration emerge as crucial turning points in the development of their respective narratives: Clorinda’s redemptive mutilation, Parthenia’s blood-drenched pallor, Amavia’s disquieting suicide, Venus’s insatiable orifice, Amoret’s “perfect hole.” This thesis affords a detailed comparative study of such passages, contending that the wound assumed a critical metaphoric dimension in sixteenth-century epic-romance literature, particularly in relation to the perceived association between body condition and erotic desire. Along with its function as a marker of martial valor and somatic sacredness, the wound, I argue, increasingly is designated in these epic-romances as an interiorizing apparatus, one liable to accrue at any instance into a surplus of unanticipated meaning. As such, the wound becomes an emblem in these texts of what I call the phenomenology of desire—the equation of consummation and loss—as well as the aesthetic and metaphoric mechanism by which these writers seek to overcome it. The four chapters of this thesis constitute individual but cumulative points of response to the problem of thinking about desire as a type of wound. For Tasso, a wound poses a challenge to physical, psychological, and spiritual integrity, but its remarkable capacity for aestheticization also allows Tasso to envision it as a synthesizer of sacred and erotic affects. For Sidney, the prospect that a wound could define a body as courageous or pathetic, as sacred or corrupt, became both politically and socially troubling, and the New Arcadia, I argue, proleptically attempts to defend Sidney against interpretations of wounds that register them as manifestations of corrupt desire. For Spenser, body fracture and erotic wounding are analogic (indeed, almost indistinguishable), and The Faerie Queene investigates the prospect that confusing these analogies can become an empowering, even revelatory experience. In each of these epic-romances, a wound serves both a literal and a figurative function and, in this way, is established as the foremost image by which these writers imagine strength and mutilation, affect and heroism, epic and romance as being inextricably bound. 820.9
9	"IO PER ME SONO UN'OMBRA". GIOVAN BATTISTA STROZZI IL GIOVANE (1551 - 1634) FRA POESIA E RIFLESSIONE LETTERARIA ROSSINI, FRANCESCO 12 April 2019 (has links) La tesi propone uno studio monografico sul fiorentino Giovan Battista Strozzi il Giovane detto il Cieco (1551-1634), letterato e animatore di circoli culturali dalla Firenze medicea alla Roma barberiniana, attraverso la Milano borromaica e i cenacoli capitolini degli Aldobrandini e degli Umoristi. Nel primo dei tre capitoli che scandiscono la ricerca si è appuntata l’attenzione sulla partecipazione del Giovane alle attività di due vivaci consessi della sua città natale: l’Accademia Fiorentina e l’Accademia degli Alterati. Nel secondo è stata condotta una disamina dell’opera in versi – per la maggior parte ancora inedita – che comprende decine di epistole metriche in endecasillabi sciolti, un incompiuto poema in onore di Amerigo Vespucci, nonché un ricco corpus di madrigali, la cui stesura, nell’esperienza del Cieco, procedette di conserva con la speculazione teorica intorno alla nuova fisionomia cinquecentesca di questo antico genere lirico. La terza sezione si concentra invece sul contributo dello Strozzi alle discussioni di poetica (la ‘Commedia’ dantesca, il poema eroico, le unità aristoteliche) che accesero gli ambienti letterari italiani nella seconda metà del secolo XVI. Affiancando l’esegesi dei testi alla ricostruzione biografica – condotta su un ampio numero di documenti epistolari editi e inediti –, si è cercato di restituire il giusto spessore storico a ciascuno degli scritti presi in esame, ricostruendo i differenti contesti culturali in cui furono composti e scandagliando la fitta trama di relazioni – umane e letterarie – che si profila sullo sfondo di essi. Completano il lavoro una bibliografia delle opere antiche e moderne, un indice dei manoscritti e un indice dei nomi di persona. / The thesis proposes a monographic study on the Florentine Giovan Battista Strozzi the Younger also known as the Blind (1551-1634). He was a writer with connections in cultural circles across Renaissance Italy, including Medici’s Florence, Barberini’s Rome, Borromean Milan and the Roman cenacles of the Aldobrandini and the Humorists. The thesis consists of three chapters. The first chapter focuses on the participation of Strozzi the Younger in the activities of two lively groups in his hometown: the Florentine Academy and the Alterati Academy. The second chapter discusses his poetical works – for the most part still unpublished –, including dozens of versified epistles in loose hendecasyllables, an unfinished poem in honor of Amerigo Vespucci, as well as a rich corpus of madrigals. The drafting of this last corpus proceeded together with Strozzi the Younger’s theoretical speculation around the new sixteenth-century appearance of this ancient lyrical genre. The third section considers the contribution of Strozzi the Younger to the discussions on poetics (Dante’s ‘Comedy’, the heroic poem, the Aristotelian units) that went on in Italian literary circles in the second half of the sixteenth century. In this work, we aimed to restore the appropriate historical depth to each of the writings examined, through the exegesis of texts combined with the biographical reconstruction conducted on a large number of published and unpublished epistolary documents. We also tried to reconstruct the different cultural contexts in which these writings were composed and attempted to analyze the dense network of relationships, both human and literary, that loomed in the background. The thesis is completed by a bibliography of ancient and modern works, an index of manuscripts and an index of names. L-FIL-LET/10: LETTERATURA ITALIANA
10	Political Atheism vs. The Divine Right of Kings: Understanding 'The Fairy of the Lake' (1801) Post, Andy 30 April 2014 (has links) In 'Political Atheism vs. The Divine Right of Kings,' I build on Thompson and Scrivener’s work analysing John Thelwall’s play 'The Fairy of the Lake' as a political allegory, arguing all religious symbolism in 'FL' to advance the traditionally Revolutionary thesis that “the King is not a God.” My first chapter contextualises Thelwall’s revival of 17th century radicalism during the French Revolution and its failure. My second chapter examines how Thelwall’s use of fire as a symbol discrediting the Saxons’ pagan notion of divine monarchy, also emphasises the idolatrous apotheosis of King Arthur. My third chapter deconstructs the Fairy of the Lake’s water and characterisation, and concludes her sole purpose to be to justify a Revolution beyond moral reproach. My fourth chapter traces how beer satirises Communion wine, among both pagans and Christians, in order to undermine any religion that could reinforce either divinity or the Divine Right of Kings. / A close reading of an all-but-forgotten Arthurian play as an allegory against the Divine Right of Kings.
