20710692 HISTORY OF THE ITALIAN LANGUAGE FOR MUSIC in DAMS - Studies in Performing Arts L-3 CONSALES ILDE
(syllabus)
The course will retrace the evolution of melodrama from its origins to the early 20th century, providing students with the main tools of linguistic analysis for this highly and rigidly formalized genre. The focus will be on the linguistic habits of opera librettos: on the metric-rhythmic, syntactic-textual, lexical and dramaturgical conventions. The history of the writing of the opera will also be retraced through the reading and linguistic commentary of portions of librettos produced from the 17th to the 20th century.
