Product Description
This collection of reprinted essays takes the trends of the author's "Music, Patronage and Printing in Late Renaissance Florence" (also in the "Variorum" series) in a somewhat different direction. If the focus there was primarily on archival documents, here it is on the actual music. The starting-point is similar - the rise of the "new music" for solo voice and basso continuo in late 16th- and early 17th-century Florence, in particular the songs of Giulio Caccini. But it moves on to broader aesthetic issues crystallized in contemporary theoretical debate and musical practice - not least the rise of aria-based styles - and concludes with a series of studies of Claudio Monteverdi's works for the theatre, including the operas "Il ritorno d'Ulisse in patria" (1640) and the ever-problematic "L'incoronazione de Poppea". ...

Product Description
This collection of lectures, talks and essays focuses on three major composers of the 17th and 18th centuries.Amazon.com Review
Nikolaus Harnoncourt has been one of the most important and influential leaders of the 20th-century revival of Baroque instruments and period performance practice--not just because he's a hardworking and talented musician, but because he's articulate. (He has had to be articulate: in the 1960s and 1970s, most of the classical-music establishment was contemptuous of, if not downright hostile to, his ideas.) The Musical Dialogue, along with Harnoncourt's Baroque Music Today: Music as Speech (to which this volume was issued as a companion), is a valuable collection of lectures and essays laying out those ideas. In the previous book, Harnoncourt discussed his views on phrasing (using short phrases based on the idea of rhetoric rather than on a long, unbroken legato line) and the use of period instruments (not simply because the composer used them, but because, when played well, they reveal more of the music to our ears now).

In The Musical Dialogue, Harnoncourt gets specific: he discusses how Monteverdi, Bach, and Mozart used particular instruments and forms and talks about his own experience analyzing and performing particular works. Among the topics he treats are the various possibilities for instrumentation in Monteverdi's works (and why there are so many), how he figured out what exactly was the oboe da caccia ("hunting oboe") called for in some of Bach's vocal works, and the performance history of the St. Matthew Passion and the Mass in B Minor and how that history has affected audience reactions to modern-day period-instrument performances of the works.

Perhaps most valuable are Harnoncourt's discussions of Mozart: for example, how the meaning of tempo markings such as "allegro" and "andante" has changed from the 18th century to today, as well as the many and varied conventions of phrasing that were widely understood--and therefore were not written out in Mozart's scores and performing parts. One caveat: these essays were written in the 1970s and 1980s, and there are a few cases where subsequent events have overtaken Harnoncourt's observations. For example, Monteverdi's large-scale works were probably not orchestrated quite as freely as he indicates; there are now a number of mixed adult choirs that can reproduce fairly well the pure tone of boys' choirs (which was not true in the 1960s and 1970s); and present-day composers and audiences are no longer completely alienated from each other, especially in the United States. Nevertheless, the observations of this important, influential, and idiosyncratic maestro make fascinating reading. --Matthew Westphal ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Superb
Superb study focusing on interpretation/performance of the works of the three named composers. Familiarity with the works discussed, and some knowledge of music notation, will be helpful - having records, CDs, or DVDs of Harnoncourt's performances of course adds an extra dimension. Highly recommended.

5-0 out of 5 stars Musical linguist decodes the old masters
This is a very educational read for lovers of the music of Monteverdi, Bach, and Mozart who are interested in 'how' they are performed and what is 'period-consistent' ... according to the legendary conductor.

It is not an easy read... quite technical and require that you can at least read music score and have at least some understanding of classical composition. Herr Harnoncourt discusses what he deduces from what 'is not' written in the score of these composers (ex: when there're markings that seem redundant or unnecessary, they're there to cancel out something else that was so taken for granted as 'traditional way of playing' in those times that the composers didn't feel they needed to put it on the score, etc). He also discusses some specific works like Monteverdi's 'L'incoronazione di Poppea', Mozart's 'Idomeneo', and Bach's 'St Matthew's Passion'.

Very well written (and translated)... thought provoking and helps me understand Herr Harnoncourt's style of conducting these music better. But you've gotta do your homeworks and know something about music composition before trying this book (at the very least, know how to read music and about harmony and musical structure). I'd have loved it if he had included some photos of autograph scores by the composers... or a CD. But then I think the book was written for his musical colleague rather than to the general public. ... Read more

Here are the madrigals of Monteverdi's Ottavo Libro (Book 8) in modern notation with text underlay, plus various commentaries. This is not a faultless edition of the sort that a top notch recording ensemble could rely on, but if you can read music, you might find that it enhances your pleasure in listening to any of the three splendid recordings of these madrigals what I've reviewed elsewhere:
La Venexiana - Book 8 complete on 3 disks

Excerpt: Claudio Giovanni Antonio Monteverdi (15 May 1567 (baptized) 29 November 1643) was an Italian composer, gambist, and singer. Monteverdi's work, often regarded as revolutionary, marked the transition from the Renaissance style of music to that of the Baroque period. He developed two individual styles of composition: the new basso continuo technique of the Baroque and the heritage of Renaissance polyphony. Enjoying fame in his lifetime, he wrote one of the earliest operas, L'Orfeo, which is still regularly performed. Claudio Monteverdi, circa 1597, by an anonymous artist, (Ashmolean Museum, Oxford).

Extrait : Claudio Monteverdi (15 mai 1567 - 29 novembre 1643) est un compositeur italien. Son œuvre, exclusivement vocale, se situe à la charnière de la Renaissance et de la musique baroque. Au cours de sa longue vie, il a produit des pièces appartenant aussi bien au style ancien qu'au nouveau et a apporté d'importants changements dans le style de son époque. Il est considéré comme l'un des créateurs de l'opéra et, avec l'Orfeo, comme l'auteur du premier chef d'œuvre du genre. Il est également le dernier grand représentant de l'école italienne du madrigal, genre auquel il a consacré neuf Livres, ainsi que l'auteur d'une abondante œuvre de musique religieuse (messes, vêpres, motets...). Né à Crémone dans la patrie des luthiers, élève de Marc'Antonio Ingegneri, il y apprit, en même temps qu'il acquérait une formation humaniste, l'orgue, la viole, le chant et le contrepoint, en usage à la fin de la Renaissance. Agé de vingt ans à peine, il publie en 1587, à Venise, son premier Livre de Madrigaux à cinq voix.En 1590, Monteverdi commença à travailler comme maître de musique de la chambre, à la cour de l'exubérant Vincenzo Ier de Mantoue. En 1601 il y devient maître de chapelle. Il y restera, malgré de nombreuses difficultés, jusqu'en 1613, ne quittant la ville qu'après la mort, en 1612, de son premier patron. A Mantoue, comme plus tard à Venise, Monteverdi se consacra aussi bien à l'écriture de madrigaux, composant les Livres II à V, qu'à la musique religieuse et au tout nouveau genre de l'opéra.

Excerpt: L'incoronazione di Poppea (SV 308, The Coronation of Poppea) is an Italian baroque opera comprising a prologue and three acts, first performed in Venice during the 164243 carnival season. The music, attributed to Claudio Monteverdi, is a setting of a libretto by Giovanni Francesco Busenello. One of the first operas to use historical events and people rather than classical mythology, it adapts incidents from the writings of Tacitus, Suetonius and others to recount how Poppea, mistress of the Roman emperor Nerone (Nero), is able to achieve her ambition and be crowned empress. The opera was revived in Naples in 1651, but was then neglected until the rediscovery of the score in 1888, after which it became the subject of scholarly attention in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Since the 1960s, the opera has been performed and recorded many times. The original manuscript of the score does not exist; two surviving copies from the 1650s show significant divergences from each other, and each differs to some extent from the libretto. How much of the music is actually Monteverdi's, and how much the product of others, is a matter of dispute. None of the existing versions of the libretto, printed or manuscript, can be definitively tied to the first performance at the Teatro Santi Giovanni e Paolo, the precise date of which is unknown. Details of the original cast are few, and largely speculative, and there is no record of the opera's initial public r...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=1988236 ... Read more
