Description

This book offers a detailed examination of the literary influences behind the experimental music of five twentieth-century Italian composers: Luigi Dallapiccola, Bruno Maderna, Luciano Berio, Giacomo Manzoni and Armando Gentilucci. Review The term "libretto" names the text - usually poetic - set to music by the composer of an opera. Published separately from the vocal or full scores, this "little book" will also give stage directions and a list of characters. Of the five works studied by Vivienne Suvini-Hand, only Luigi Dallapiccola's Ulisse (Berlin, 1968) has a libretto... But Italian composers of the 1960s had not ceased to write operas, even if the younger generation preferred to call their music-theatrical assaults on bourgeois proprieties "azioni sceniche". -- Ben Earle Modern Language Review 103.4, October 2008, 1141-42 Chapter 7 displays the dominating element of the five compositions: the reassertion of spiritual values over the material values of 1960s Italy. This distinctive tone makes these compositions uniquely commendable for further investigations into their influence on Italy's artistic canon. --unsigned notice Forum for Modern Language Studies 47.1, January 2011 About the Author Vivienne Suvini-Hand
