How Did Monteverdi's Music Replace The Seconda Prattica?

I selected Antonio Vivaldi as from the list of composers due to his vast influence in the development of music, including current popular styles such as the double violin concertos and ritornellos, and his influence on future composers such as Bach. Vivaldi’s significance to the music world is further emphasized by the introduction and popularization of concepts such as his usage of rhythm to create escalating tension and the application of motivic elements as themes for his pieces. Vivaldi’s life was set out to pursue priesthood from a young age yet, ironically, an illness allowed him to follow his true passion as both a violinist and composer. Antonio Vivaldi remained pious throughout his life and it was his particular education as a priest

“In a comparative study of texts we see that the connections between texts are realised through the different textual forms used by each composer.”

The Renaissance was an influential period in developing humanistic inquiry. The age is characterized by a deep commitment to education and the arts. People began studying science and creating art for its own sake; it was believed that engaging in such endeavors allowed one to lead a life of morality, and Renaissance artwork was devoted to core values concerning early Christian morality and learning. This paper discusses Joaquin des Prez's "Ave Maria"¦virgo Serena," and how demonstrates core values of Excellence, Community, Respect, and Personal Development, Responsible Stewardship, and Integrity. Attention is paid not only to the lyrics themselves but also to the formal technique of the song.

A less theoretical definition of poetry is, “putting the best words in the best possible order.” A poet may incorporate the theory as follows. The poet may astutely choose words possibly with a double meaning in order to indirectly convey a message, evoke emotions, or to slander. Then, the poet may unconventionally place such words and phrases perhaps out of expected order for the sake of creating a “word picture,” emphasizing the speaker’s feelings, or offering tangibility to the poem. By implementing this idea onto poetic works, the poet will have auspiciously written a superb poem. This theory may be applied to a few of Catullus’s poems specifically “Carmen 5”, “Carmen 8”, and “Carmen 85.” Catullus’s meticulous choice of words and arrangement highlight the central focus of the poem, obliquely criticize traditional Roman law, manipulate the audience’s attitude, transmit the speaker’s emotions, paint “word pictures,” and offer symbolic meaning consequently producing a successful poem.

Throughout history, various styles of music have developed to further the evolution and complexity of music, wether it be commissioned by nobility or, composed for the enjoyment of the normal, common populace. English madrigals, though not the longest lasting style, is one such form of music that has had a lasting impact on the continuing composition of music.

An old man named Antonio Salieri winds up in a refuge in the wake of cutting his throat and shouting that he executed Mozart. In the shelter, Father Vogler, a youthful minister, visits Salieri and urges him to admit the musings that are tormenting him. In light of the cleric's requests, Salieri starts a long story that starts in his youth and closures with Mozart's demise. As a young person, Salieri is enthusiastic about music, however his tyrannical father makes it unimaginable for him to seek after his fantasies.

It is apparent that musicians have been selected to maestro di cappella positions shown from the evidence of Monteverdi's experiences at Mantua. Monteverdi in 1609, was asked to request the availability of a certain Galeazzo Sirena for him to serve as maestro di cappella for Prince Francesco Gonzaga. Although he was worried shown in a letter, he wrote later questioning what would happen after the death of the Duke of Mantua, since the prince would have the power to appoint whoever he chose as his director of music.

Throughout history, there have been many periods of time where music rose and fell in favor of the masses. Music was part of life during the old age in many areas such as religious services or entertainment among the elites. During the late 17th century which was known as the Baroque period, many famous composers such as Johann Pachelbel, George Frideric Handel, and Johann Sebastian Bach, Alessandro Scarlatti, Henry Purcell, and many others that were successful in adapting to the change of new music style. Among these famous composers, Antonio Vivaldi stood out for his unique style of music that innovated and revolutionized the Baroque period.

During Arcangelo Corelli's time, an approach to writing music in which a song or piece, is written in a particular key was developed. This approach is still widely used in popular western music today. Advanced and professional musicians were expected to be fairly good improvisers when it comes to solo melodic lines, as well as the musical parts which helped provide the harmonic support for the melody, or even the main themes of a piece. Composers and performers typically used more detailed and complicated musical ornamentation.Those were also mostly improvised by the performers; such musical ornaments include trills.

Her method produces a sense of variety, which is a series in which contiguous elements are not discernibly different though the extremities are divergent, as the sound faintly and steadily alters not a progression of periods, but a continuing process. Consequently, it is challenging to categorize individual syntax, places, stages, or events across the piece and in a specific way, the auditor might be assumed as being within the piece, rather than repudiated a place outside it. Étude from ‘Opus 17’ integrates a twofold pendulum apparatus that makes its motion impulsive, as a counterbalance moves the swinger, and in rejoinder, itself is moved. The feeling produced by this pendulum apparatus is similar to being in a wave giving a sense of riding great

Gossett recommends that a “multiple copy-text eclectic edition” be used in the instance of Puccini with special attention given to distinguish between Puccini’s own ideas and those of other musicians. Due to the multiple sources of revisions, Gossett advocates for the use of a multiple copy-text edition to achieve the most inclusive score possible.

Ludwig Van Beethoven, was the composer who changed music more than any other composer, the sound of music and what the other composers that were to come after him thought. He wrote nine symphonies, five piano concertos, an opera and many pieces of chamber music that jolted music right out of itself. (Landon) Beethoven changed music by creating a new era called Romanticism, influencing the other composers and changing the old methods by adding a special twist.

In Puccini’s operatic compositions, atmosphere and local color played a very important role. Each of his operas is set in a different setting and this gave him the challenge to experiment with harmony, rhythm and orchestral color. When Puccini composed Turandot, he almost became a student of Far Eastern ethnography, ceremonies of Japan and China, and he also studied a collection of oriental tunes. All of these activities had a profound impact on Puccini’s compositions. Turandot is one of the longest of Puccini’s works, a grand opera in the truest sense: an enormous, late-Romantic orchestra with large percussion forces and on-stage band to support the story and its setting in China. The Chinese folk-songs Puccini used in Turandot were used these tunes to give authentic sound in his opera. In addition, Puccini set exotic percussions, Gong and Cymbalum, to establish Asian atmosphere and color.

3. Medieval and Renaissance culture varied in many ways, aside from the differing music. In the Medieval age (the time between the 5th and 15th century), the church controlled many things, not only music. The church was in charge of education, the church also dominated politics. People very much feared God. Whereas in the Renaissance (15th and 17th century) the state ruled over the church. People in the Renaissance believed that God wasn’t some fearsome being, instead they believed more in logical and practical thinking.
