Rövid leírás:
Monteverdi's Voices provides a comprehensive account of the musical madrigals of Claudio Monteverdi. Author Tim Carter sheds light on how these wonderfully witty works played a key role in music-historical development, offering offer key insights into the cultural, social, and intellectual life of Europe on the cusp of modernity, and shows why they continue to be cornerstones of the repertory for performers of early music.

"Ah, alas!" The "faithful shepherd" Mirtillo's woeful sigh of unrequited love, delivered with outrageous musical dissonances, has rung through the ages since the first publication of Claudio Monteverdi's madrigal "Cruda Amarilli" in 1605. But there is far more to the composer's nine books of madrigals than dissonant progressions--they are an integral part of the intellectual, artistic, and practical worlds of creation and performance in Italian musical and literary culture of the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries.
While Monteverdi is also recognized for his operas and sacred works, it is no surprise that the madrigal dominated his output through his long career in Cremona, Mantua, and Venice. Author Tim Carter illustrates how the composer's wonderfully witty settings of Italian verse ran the gamut from compositions in the traditional polyphonic style for five unaccompanied voices to those in more modern idioms for one or more singers and instruments. Their poets included the major figures of the day--Torquato Tasso, Battista Guarini, and Giambattista Marino--as well as the classics, not least of all Petrarch, with texts that embraced all the current literary genres from lyric through epic to dramatic. Monteverdi also repeatedly asked and answered the fundamental question of any musical setting of poetry concerning the relationship between poetic and musical voice(s).
Carter offers a more holistic perspective than has been adopted in the partial studies of Monteverdi's madrigals to date and moves far beyond conventional views of the composer and his work. He considers how Monteverdi engaged with poetry, with sound, and with the performers for whom he was writing. As Carter shows, Monteverdi was irascible, exasperating, and prone to error. Yet his astonishing musical mind was also inventive, playful, and capable of the most extraordinary wit--producing madrigals that continue to invite new approaches both to their study and to their performance.
A long-awaited probing digest of Monteverdi's madrigals from the foremost Monteverdian scholar of our time. Tim Carter sets himself apart from the musicological fray by his sensitivity to the contextual backdrop to these all-absorbing miniatures and by treating them as essentially performative acts. He has fascinating things to reveal about the different ways Monteverdi plays with sonic space and (most innovatively) with time. Never blind to Monteverdi's occasional errors and quirks, Carter focuses on the intriguing interface between poetry and music: he lifts the lid on how Monteverdi responded to the poetry he was setting, how he enriched and enlivened it, and occasionally contradicted it. Most of all he shows how it became the launchpad for flights of musical fantasy previously unimaginable.
