Performing History
The fifteen essays of Performing History glimpse the diverse ways music historians “do” history, and the diverse ways in which music histories matter. This book’s chapters are structured into six key areas: historically informed performance; ethnomusicological perspectives; particular musical works that “tell,” “enact,” or “perform” war histories; operatic works that works that “tell,” “enact,” or “perform” power or enlightenment; musical works that deploy the body and a broad range of senses to convey histories; and histories involving popular music and performance. Diverse lines of evidence and manifold methodologies are represented here, ranging from traditional historical archival research to interviewing, performing, and composing. The modes of analyzing music and its associated texts represented here are as various as the kinds of evidence explored, including, for example, reading historical accounts against other contextual backdrops, and reading “between the lines” to access other voices than those provided by mainstream interpretation or traditional musicology.
Il regno della Luna, Part 2
Niccolò Piccinni (17281800) wrote Il regno della luna for the Regio Ducal Theatro in Milan in 1770, and a revised versionpreserved in the only extant sourcewas performed seven times in Dresden between 1773 and 1775. The work showcases the subversion of dramma giocoso conventions through which Piccinni presented characters that are at once realistic and sympathetic. Noteworthy musical elements include the high proportion of ensembles in relation to arias, the frequent use of accompanied recitative, and the prominent role of the chorus. The unknown librettist may have been Giuseppe Parini, whose Enlightenment views are echoed in the operas unconventional themes. The libretto engages strongly with eighteenth-century Italian discourse regarding the social and political position of women, the non-European Other, and the societal costs and benefits of militarism and commerce. Involving actual travel to the Moon, the work also exemplifies early science fiction. Presented here in its first modern edition, Il regno della Luna stands as a testament to the most forward-looking ideas of its time, both musically and ideologically.
