Studies in Music, Words, and Imagery in Early Modern Europe
Characterized by an interdisciplinary approach, these essays highlight the relationship between music and poetry in Italian secular works of the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, examine the role of images in shedding light on the cultural context in which these and other works came into being (music iconography), and explore the binaries and similarities of the arts in this period. Insights about early opera are complemented by discussions of accompanied solo song, or monody, both genres new to Italian music at the turn of the seventeenth century. Many chapters focus on specific images, ranging from the figure of Apollo and his significance as the earliest operatic protagonist...
The Cambridge Companion to Seventeenth-Century Opera
The Cambridge Companion to Seventeenth-Century Opera is a much-needed introduction to one of the most defining areas of Western music history - the birth of opera and its developments during the first century of its existence. From opera's Italian foundations to its growth through Europe and the Americas, the volume charts the changing landscape – on stage and beyond – which shaped the way opera was produced and received. With a range from opera's sixteenth-century antecedents to the threshold of the eighteenth century, this path breaking book is broad enough to function as a comprehensive introduction, yet sufficiently detailed to offer valuable insights into most of early opera's many facets; it guides the reader towards authoritative written and musical sources appropriate for further study. It will be of interest to a wide audience, including undergraduate and graduate students in universities and equivalent institutions, and amateur and professional musicians.

Die Rezeption des Orpheus-Mythos in deutschen Musikdramen des 17. Jahrhunderts
Der Orpheus-Mythos gehört zu den wirkungsgeschichtlich bedeutendsten Mythen der Antike. Bisher kaum untersucht ist jedoch seine Rezeption in der deutschen Barockliteratur, zu der diese gattungsspezifische Studie einen Beitrag leistet. Gegenstand der Untersuchung sind sieben geschlossene literarische Mythos-Verarbeitungen in barocken Libretti, die in dieser Arbeit zum Teil erstmals erschlossen, in ihrer jeweiligen Spezifik diskursanalytisch bestimmt und mit zeitgenössischen Kontexten korreliert werden. Am Beispiel der Bearbeitungen und Verwendungsweisen des Orpheus-Mythos in Musikdramen werden die epochenspezifischen Besonderheiten der frühneuzeitlichen Antikenrezeption innerhalb einer innovativen Gattung erhellt.
