Giovanni Battista Maldura and the Invention of the Roman Mandolin
THE BOOK. Giovanni Battista Maldura (1859–1905), a renowned musician and tireless entertainer of Rome’s musical life in the second half of the 19th century, was also an undisputed innovator of a new concept of mandolin making, an instrument of which he was recognised as a great virtuoso. The need to restore the legitimate role of the figure of Maldura arises at a time when the mandolin is regaining, after a few decades of oblivion, its rightful place in the musical and cultural history of Italy, finally freeing itself from the stigma of the second half of the 20th century that bound it predominantly, if not sometimes exclusively, to a mostly popular soundscape. This book – written in t...
Wellbeing in Early Modern Christianity
Today, wellbeing is high on the personal and societal agenda, but thinking about wellbeing certainly is not a new phenomenon. The Greek philosopher Aristotle, for example, came up with the concept of Eudaimonia – the contented state of feeling healthy, happy, and prosperous – and this concept has been influential up until today. Starting from Augustine's thoughts on the topic of wellbeing, which had a great influence on theologians and others in the Early Modern Era, the contributions in this book reflect on a variety of topics ranging from wellbeing for the soul and the body to broader related concepts and theories approaching the theme from such disciplines as music, literature, history and theology.
A Global Earth in the Classroom
This volume offers a scholarly examination of educational history, highlighting the pivotal role of educational practices from the late medieval era to the early modern period. It provides a dynamic forum for emerging academics in the field, revealing fresh, multifaceted perspectives on the educational methods of this era. The work illuminates the sophisticated educational systems that shaped Renaissance Milan's merchants and the education of cantors in royal courts and cathedrals. Spanning from Brazil to India, it traces the extensive reach of Jesuit influence and reveals how their teachings fostered an early consciousness of a globally interconnected world in European education. Contributors include Bradley Blankemeyer, Laura Madella, Jessica Ottelli, Federico Piseri, David Salomoni, and Carolina Vaz de Carvalho.
The Study of Musical Performance in Antiquity
This collection of eleven essays provides the reader with some valuable insights into the richness of sources dealing with music and musical performance scattered over 3000 years and covering a wide range of geographies, from Syria to Iberia, through Greece and Rome. The volume, then, offers a series of examinations of literary data and materials from different areas of the Classical World and the Near East in ancient times and in late Antiquity, examined both synchronically and diachronically, in some cases in dialogue with one another. This broad treatment makes this collection of interest to historians, archaeologists, philologists and musicians, providing them with a multi-faceted volume which guides them towards a fuller understanding of ancient societies and which heightens the awareness of the importance of music as a transversal phenomenon.
Giovanni Battista Maldura e l'invenzione del mandolino romano
Giovanni Battista Maldura (1859-1905) rinomato musicista e instancabile animatore della vita musicale romana della seconda metà dell’Ottocento fu anche un indiscusso innovatore nell’ambito di una nuova concezione liutaria del mandolino, strumento del quale era riconosciuto come grande virtuoso. La necessità di ridare il legittimo ruolo alla figura di Maldura nasce in un momento in cui il mandolino sta riacquistando, dopo qualche decennio di oblio, il suo giusto rilievo nella storia musicale e culturale del nostro paese affrancandosi finalmente dallo stigma del secondo Novecento che lo legava prevalentemente, se non a volte esclusivamente, a un panorama sonoro per lo più popolareggiante. Questo volume – a due voci – riunisce le due anime di Maldura: quella di brillante insegnante e musicista, e quella di liutaio, due anime che non furono mai troppo lontane tra loro.
