  • Opera and Sovereignty

    Transforming Myths in Eighteenth-Century Italy

    de Martha Feldman ...
    Performed throughout Europe during the 1700s, Italian heroic opera, or opera seria, was the century's most significant musical art form, profoundly engaging such figures as Handel, Haydn, and Mozart. Opera and Sovereignty is the first book to address this genre as cultural history, arguing that eighteenth-century opera seria must be understood in light of the period's social and political ...

  • The Voice as Something More

    Essays toward Materiality

    de Mladen Dolar ...
    Series series New Material Histories of Music
    In the contemporary world, voices are caught up in fundamentally different realms of discourse, practice, and culture: between sounding and nonsounding, material and nonmaterial, literal and metaphorical. In The Voice as Something More, Martha Feldman and Judith T. Zeitlin tackle these paradoxes with a bold and rigorous collection of essays that look at voice as both object of desire and material ...

  • Castrato Phantoms

    Moreschi, Fellini, and the Sacred Vernacular in Rome

    de Martha Feldman Martha Feldman ...
    A new mapping of castrato afterlives in modern RomeAround 1830, opera houses stopped using castrati, and Rome and the Vatican became home to their glorious singing, engineered by surgery and intensive vocal training. Castrati were long mired in secrecy, obfuscations, and lies about their origin and conditions, not least the last of them, Alessandro Moreschi. Musicologist Martha Feldman declines to ... Leer más

    A Practical and Theoretical Guide for Qualitative Researchers

    de Martha S. Feldman, Jeannine Bell, Michele Tracy Berger, JoAnn M. Brooks, Ann Chih Lih, Marijata Daniel-Echols, Gelaye Debebe, Jane E. Dutton, Ernestine K.

Myers, Leslie Perlow, Paula Pickering, Michael Pratt, Jodi Sandfort, Brian Schermer, Amy Wrzesniewski ...
    Gaining access is a critical part of doing research, not only because one must 'get in' in order to gain information, but also because the quality of access affects what information is available to the researcher. Despite its importance, the literature on qualitative methods has not yet provided an extensive treatment of this issue. Gaining Access fills the void by offering useful, prescriptive ... Leer más

  • The Castrato

    Reflections on Natures and Kinds

    de Martha Feldman ...
    Series Libro 16 - Ernest Bloch Lectures
    The Castrato is a nuanced exploration of why innumerable boys were castrated for singing between the mid-sixteenth and late-nineteenth centuries. It shows that the entire foundation of Western classical singing, culminating in bel canto, was birthed from an unlikely and historically unique set of desires, public and private, aesthetic, economic, and political. In Italy, castration for singing was ... Leer más

Schnapp, Beatrice Sica, Teresa Spignoli, Dirk Vanden Berghe, Federico Luisetti, Marjorie Perloff, Walter L. Adamson ...
    Futurism began as an artistic and social movement in early twentieth-century Italy. Until now, much of the scholarship available in English has focused only on a single individual or art form. This volume seeks to present a more complete picture of the movement by exploring the history of the movement, the events leading up to the movement, and the lasting impact it has had as well as the ...

  • Singing Games in Early Modern Italy

    The Music Books of Orazio Vecchi

    de Paul Schleuse ...
    Series series Music and the Early Modern Imagination
    In Italy during the late cinquecento, printed music could be found not only in the homes of the wealthy or the music professional, but also in lay homes, courts, and academies. No longer confined to the salons of the elite, music took on the role of social play and recreation. Paul Schleuse examines these new musical forms through a study of the music books of Italian priest, poet, and composer, ... Leer más

  • Curious and Modern Inventions

    Instrumental Music as Discovery in Galileo's Italy

    de Rebecca Cypess ...
    Early seventeenth-century Italy saw a revolution in instrumental music. Large, varied, and experimental, the new instrumental repertoire was crucial for the Western tradition—but until now, the impulses that gave rise to it had yet to be fully explored. Curious and Modern Inventions offers fresh insight into the motivating forces behind this music, tracing it to a new conception of instruments of ... Leer más

  • The Power of Images

    Siena, 1338

    de Patrick Boucheron ...
    Where can the danger be lurking? Two soldiers are huddled together, one gazing up at the sky, the other darting a sideward glance. They derive a tacit reassurance from their weapons, but they are both in their different ways alone and scared. They were painted by Ambrogio Lorenzetti in the Palazzo Pubblico in Siena, and they seem symptomatic of a state of emergency: the year was 1338, and the ... Leer más

  • Verdi, Opera, Women

    de Susan Rutherford ...
    Series series Cambridge Studies in Opera
    Verdi's operas - composed between 1839 and 1893 - portray a striking diversity of female protagonists: warrior women and peacemakers, virgins and courtesans, princesses and slaves, witches and gypsies, mothers and daughters, erring and idealised wives, and, last of all, a feisty quartet of Tudor townswomen in Verdi's final opera, Falstaff. Yet what meanings did the impassioned crises and dilemmas ... Leer más

  • Material Bernini

    Edición de Evonne Levy, Carolina Mangone ...
    Series series Visual Culture in Early Modernity
    Bringing together established and emerging specialists in seventeenth-century Italian sculpture, Material Bernini is the first sustained examination of the conspicuous materiality of Bernini’s work in sculpture, architecture, and paint. The various essays demonstrate that material Bernini has always been tied (whether theologically, geologically, politically, or in terms of art theory) to his ... Leer más

  • Italy’s Eighteenth Century

    Gender and Culture in the Age of the Grand Tour

    Edición de Paula Findlen, Wendy Wassyng Roworth, Catherine M. Sama ...
    In the age of the Grand Tour, foreigners flocked to Italy to gawk at its ruins and paintings, enjoy its salons and cafés, attend the opera, and revel in their own discovery of its past. But they also marveled at the people they saw, both male and female. In an era in which castrati were "rock stars," men served women as cicisbei, and dandified Englishmen became macaroni, Italy was perceived to be ... Leer más
