L’am orosa caccia is a collection of 24 madrigals for five voices, created specially by as many composers originating from Mantua. All were distinguished professional people, working within the church, at court or in the Palatine basilica of Saint Barbara, and music lovers of noble birth from the area who were somehow connected to the Academy of the Invaghiti, or perhaps part of the same. Among the established musicians of the collection are to be mentioned: G.M. Bacchino, H. Baccusi, P. Cantino, A. Coma, G. Moro, S. Nascimbeni, A. Nuvoloni, N. Parma, G.B. Recalchi, F. Rovigo, A. Striggio, R. Trofeo. The lesser-known, however, seem to be: C. Accelli, E. Ceruti, S. Cressoni, P. Marni, A. Preti, while the following: H. Borelli, C. Ceruti, O. Grassi, P. Massari, G.B. Orto, F. Ramesini, C. Zucca have become known as composers only thanks to L’amorosa caccia.
The realization in score of the madrigals has made it possible to bring to light this collection, establishing its actual musical value and proving the remarkable mastery of madrigal writing of these 24 musicians and offering the opportunity to highlight each one’s different skill as a composer. If some of them have proved to be completely in line with the practices of the time, verging on Augenmusik, others stand out for the wide variety of their harmonies, melodies and rhythms, seeking the best musical expressions to express the affetti contained in the text.
There are no major breakthroughs, but, if the contrapuntal procedures are as to be expected, the body of voices, the experimentation, the interplay between the parts and the harmonic sensitivity show familiarity with the vocal virtuosity of the concerti di dame of Ferrara and Mantua, bringing out what was most modern at the time. The possibility that these madrigals may actually have been performed by that very group of talented singers is enchanting and entirely plausible.

Adventure Land was commissioned by Clermont Communauté and the CREA (the directors of the local music schools and conservatories) in France. This work was the opening piece of a show combining orchestra, choir and actors. The story takes place in the city of Clermont-Ferrand, which an explorer discovers through a series of riddles and adventures. Adventure Land is written in the form of a symphonic march which features a slow and pleasant passage in the middle of the work. The result is a dynamic and playful piece, similar to the style that one might find in cartoons or in animated films.

Adventur e Land werd gecomponeerd in opdracht van de Clermont Communauté en de CREA (de leiders van de lokale muziekscholen en het plaatselijke conservatorium) in Frankrijk. Dit stuk was het openingswerk van een show waarin orkest, koor en acteurs zich verenigden. Het verhaal vindt plaats in de stad Clermont-Ferrand, die door een avonturier wordt ontdekt door middel van een reeks raadsels en belevenissen. Adventure Land is geschreven in de vorm van een symfonische mars met een langzame, fraaie passage in het midden. Het resultaat is een dynamisch, speels werk in een stijl die doet denken aan teken- en animatiefilms.

Adventure Land ist in Form eines sinfonischen Marschs komponiert und zeichnet sich durch eine langsame und hübsche Passage im Mittelteil aus. Das Ergebnis ist ein dynamisches und verspieltes Stück in einem Stil, den man auch in Comics oder Zeichentrick- und Kinofilmen finden könnte.

ISBN 9788881094660. 6.5 x 9.5 inches.

L’ Historia musica di Giovanni Andrea Angelini Bontempi (1625-1705), edita nel 1695, non è la ‘narrazione’ delle vicende legate a quest’arte, ma una esposizione sistematica dei principi della musica; un trattato di teoria musicale riconducibile alla tipologia della Historia naturalis, intesa come conoscenza scientifica acquisita attraverso l’indagine e la ricerca.
Cantante, compositore e teorico musicale, Bontempi fu anche letterato (autore dei testi delle proprie opere), storico, architetto teatrale e scenografo, pittore, costruttore di strumenti musicali e di orologi, nonché abile intagliatore di pietre dure. In sostanza, Bontempi fu un uomo eclettico nel senso rinascimentale del termine e con la pubblicazione dell’Historia musica ottenne il riconoscimento della sua appartenenza alla ‘res publica’ letteraria dell’Europa di fine Seicento. Dall’oratorio filippino di Perugia, dove ricevette la prima formazione musicale, passò a Roma sotto la protezione del cardinale Francesco Barberini. Attivo nella cappella di S. Marco a Venezia all’epoca di Monteverdi, trascorse, poi, circa trenta anni al servizio della corte di Dresda.
Nella Prima e seconda parte della teorica è dato ampio spazio alla musica greca, ma la musica antica è vista sempre in funzione della moderna. E così vi troviamo l’analisi dei vari tipi di versi e dei corrispondenti valori musicali in una perfetta armonia tra parola e musica; il testo dell’oratorio di S. Emiliano; note sulla costruzione dei clavicembali di Girolamo Zenti; l’organizzazione della scuola di canto a Roma; una piccola monografia sul cantante evirato Baldassarre Ferri; esempi di composizioni polifoniche. Non mancano, poi, suggestivi riferimenti all’astrologia e alla consonanza tra Musica mondana e Musica humana oppure all’anatomia e al contrasto tra anima e corpo.
La presente edizione conserva tutto il sapore dell’originale, ivi comprese le grafie erudite o quelle oscillanti di alcuni termini, ma permette al tempo stesso la lettura agevole di un testo fondamentale nella storia del pensiero musicale.
