 | Claudio Monteverdi - L'Orfeo, favola in musica (SV 318) Stereo: http://br.youtube.com/watch?v=TW7z5FD6Oxw&fmt=18 Claudio Giovanni Antonio Monteverdi (1567 - 1643). Claudio Monteverdi was born in 1567 in Cremona, in Northern Italy. During his childhood, he was taught by Marc'Antonio Ingegneri, the maestro di cappella or singing master, at the Cathedral of Cremona. He wrote his first music for publication, some motets and sacred madrigals, in 1582 and 1583 and by 1587 had produced his first book of secular madrigals. Between 1590 and 1611, Monteverdi worked at the court of Vincenzo I of Gonzaga in Mantua as a vocalist and viol player. 1602 was working as the court conductor. By 1613 Monteverdi had moved to the San Marco in Venice where, as conductor, he quickly restored the musical standard of both the choir and instrumentalists, which had declined due to the financial mismanagement of his predecessor, Giulio Cesare Martinengo. The managers of the basilica were relieved to have such a distinguished musician in charge, as the music had been in decline since the death of Giovanni Croce in 1609. Monteverdi was ordained a Catholic priest in 1632 and during the last years of his life, when he was often ill, he composed his two last masterpieces, both operas. Il ritorno d'Ulisse in patria (The Return of Ulysses, 1641), and the historic opera L'incoronazione di Poppea (The Coronation of Poppea, 1642), based on the life of the Roman emperor Nero. L'incoronazione especially is considered a culminating point of Monteverdi's work; it contains tragic, romantic, as well as comic scenes (a new development in opera), a more realistic portrayal of the characters, and warmer melodies than had previously been heard. It requires a smaller orchestra, and has a less prominent role for the choir. Monteverdi died in Venice on November 29, 1643 and is buried in the church of the Frari. L'Orfeo: L'Orfeo (L'Orfeo, favola in musica, SV 318, or La Favola d'Orfeo, or The Legend of Orpheus) is one of the earliest works recognized as an opera, composed by Claudio Monteverdi with text by Alessandro Striggio for the annual carnival of Mantua. It was first performed before the Accademia degl'Invaghiti on 24 February 1607 in a now unidentifiable room in the ducal palace at Mantua, and was published in Venice in 1609. The opera saw its modern debut on 25 February 1904 in a concert version in Paris directed by Vincent d'Indy. Le Concert des Nations. La Capella Reial de Catalunya. Montserrat Figueras (La Musica).

 | Urbino Brevi scorci sulla città Urbino è una città della regione Marche, capoluogo (insieme a Pesaro) della Provincia di Pesaro e Urbino. Dal 1998 il suo centro storico è patrimonio dell'umanità UNESCO. Origini e medioevo La città romana di Urvinum Metaurense divenne un centro importante durante le Guerre gotiche nel VI secolo. Venne poi presa nel 538 dal bizantino Belisario, togliendola ai Goti, e venne frequentemente nominata dallo storico bizantino Procopio. Passò quindi nel dominio dei Longobardi e poi dei Franchi. Il re dei Franchi Pipino offrì Urbino allo Stato della Chiesa. Comunque, le tradizioni indipendenti e autonome si espressero nella forma di governo del Comune finché, intorno al 1200, cadde sotto il dominio dei nobili che combattevano tra loro nel vicino Montefeltro. Questi nobili non avevano diretta autorità sul comune, ma esercitavano pressioni per la loro elezione a podestà, titolo che Bonconte di Montefeltro riuscì a ottenere nel 1213, con il risultato che gli urbinati si ribellarono, formarono un'alleanza con il comune indipendente di Rimini (1228) e nel 1234 si reimpossessarono del controllo della loro città. Successivamente, però, i Montefeltro riuscirono a riprendere le redini della città che controllarono poi fino al 1508. Durante questo periodo, Urbino prese l'aspetto che in parte ancora oggi ha, con le sue cinta murarie. Nelle battaglie tra guelfi e ghibellini, i signori di Urbino del XIII e del XVI secolo erano capi dei ghibellini delle Marche e della Romagna, e si associavano con famiglie o città ghibelline. Il periodo di Federico da Montefeltro L'esponente più famoso dei Montefeltro fu Federico, signore di Urbino dal 1444 al 1482, condottiero di successo, diplomatico abilissimo e patrono entusiasta di arti e letteratura. Alla sua corte, Piero della Francesca scrisse sulla scienza della prospettiva, Francesco di Giorgio Martini scrisse il suo Trattato di architettura (concludendo i lavori di ristrutturazione del Palazzo Ducale avviati da Luciano Laurana), e il padre di Raffaello, Giovanni Santi, scrisse il suo resoconto poetico dei principali artisti del periodo. La corte brillante di Federico, attraverso le descrizioni di Baldassarre Castiglione ne Il Cortegiano, introdusse i caratteri del cosiddetto "gentiluomo" in Europa, che rimasero fino alla I Guerra Mondiale. (Vedi Federico da Montefeltro per la biografia). Cesare Borgia e gli anni del ducato Della Rovere Cesare Borgia spodestò Guidobaldo da Montefeltro, duca di Urbino, e Elisabetta Gonzaga nel 1502, con la complicità del padre Papa Alessandro VI. Dopo il tentativo di Papa Medici, Leone X, di nominare un giovane Medici come duca, Urbino rimase parte dello Stato Pontificio, sotto la dinastia dei duchi Della Rovere. Annessione alla Chiesa Nel 1626 Papa Urbano VIII incorporò l'indipendente Ducato di Urbino nei territori papali, dono dell'ultimo duca Della Rovere, ritirato dopo l'assassinio del suo erede, affinché fosse governato dal vescovo. La grande biblioteca fu spostata a Roma e aggiunta alla Biblioteca Vaticana nel 1657. La storia successiva di Urbino è parte della storia dello Stato Pontificio e, dopo il plebiscito del 4 novembre 1860, della Storia d'Italia. |
