|---|---|
| Description: | A history of music for the imperial court'from a professor, choral director, and professional tenor who has studied Viennese cantatas for half a century'(Lowell Lindgren, Massachusetts Institute of Technology). Lawrence Bennett provides a comprehensive study of the rich repertoire of accompanied vocal chamber music that entertained the imperial family in Vienna and their guests throughout the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. The cantata became a form of elite entertainment composed to amuse listeners during banquets or pay homage to members of the royal family during special occasions. Concentrating on Baroque cantatas composed in the Habsburg court, Bennett draws extensively on primary source material to explore the stylistic changes that occurred within the genre in the generations before Haydn and Mozart.'An important book. It deserves to be warmly welcomed not only by scholars but also by performers of Baroque vocal chamber music.'—Early Music'Shed[s] light on an important yet seldom-discussed repertory, written by someone whose expertise is unquestionable.'—Music and Letters'By taking multiple analytical approaches, Bennett establishes an overall understanding while also demonstrating how individual composers approached the genre.... Recommended.'—Choice'An important tool for understanding the context in which cantatas were composed and performed, and in which the Hapsburgs'important music collection... was created.'—Notes'A wealth of new information... from a scholar who writes clearly and perceptively, and who has devoted decades of attention to the material.'—Steven Saunders, Charles A. Dana Professor of Music, Colby College |
