 | Monteverdi - Orfeo - Rosa del ciel Orfeo and Euridice nuptial ceremony. Monteverdi, Orfeo, act 1. Orfeo: Furio Zanasi Dir: J. Savall TESTO ORFEO Rosa del ciel, gemme del giorno, e degna prole di lui che l'universo affrena, Sol, ch'il tutto circondi e 'l tutto miri, da gli stellanti giri, dimmi: vedesti mai alcun di me più fortunato amante? Fu ben felice il giorno, mio ben, che pria ti vidi, e più felice l'ora che per te sospirai, perch'al mio sospirar tu sospirasti: felicissimo il punto che la candida mano pegno di pura fede a me porgesti. Se tanti cori avessi quant'occhi ha il ciel sereno e quante chiome sogliono i colli aver l'aprile e 'l maggio, colmi si farien tutti e traboccanti di quel piacere ch'oggi mi fa contento. EURIDICE Io non dirò qual sia nel tuo gioire, Orfeo, la gioia mia, che non ho meco il core, ma teco stassi in compagnia d'Amore; chiedilo dunque a lui, s'intender brami quanto lieta i' gioisca e quanto t'ami. CORO Lasciate i monti, lasciate i fonti, ninfe vezzose e liete e in questi prati a i balli usati leggiadro il piè rendete. Qui miri il sole vostre carole più vaghe assai di quelle ond'a la luna, a l'aria bruna, danzano in ciel le stelle. |

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. |
