註釋
This book is a pioneering attempt to explore the fascinating and hardly known realm of reciting poetry in medieval and Renaissance Italy. The study of more than 50 treatises on both music and poetry, as well as other literary sources and documents from the period between 1300 and 1600, highlights above all the practice of
parlar cantando
(«speaking through singing» - the term found in
De li contrasti,
a fourteenth-century treatise on poetry) as rooted in the art of reciting verses. Situating the practice of
parlar cantando
in the context of late medieval poetic delivery, the author sheds new light on the origin and history of late Renaissance opera style, which their inventors called
stile recitativo, rappresentativo
or, exactly,
parlar cantando.
The deepest roots of the Italian tradition of
parlar cantando
are thus revealed, and the cultural background of the birth of opera is reinterpreted and revisited from the much broader perspective of what appears to be the most important Italian mode of music making between the age of Dante and Petrarch and the beginning of Italian opera around 1600.
