Description

Explore the fascinating connection between European performing arts and the concept of Otherness between 1500 and 1800. In this study, Ralph P. Locke examines how exotic locales and diverse inhabitants were represented through music during the Renaissance and through the era of Mozart. This book provides a deep look into how composers used various musical genres to characterize different cultures. From instrumental pieces and popular songs to large-scale works like oratorios, ballets, and operas, Locke traces the musical depiction of Middle-Eastern harem women, Spanish Gypsies, Incan priests, and Barbary pirates. As a prequel to the 2009 book Musical Exoticism, this work offers fresh perspectives on masterworks by legendary composers. Readers will find new insights into the music of Cavalli, Lully, Purcell, Rameau, Handel, Vivaldi, Gluck, and Mozart. It is an essential resource for students and enthusiasts of classical music history and cultural studies.
