Striggio-Monteverdi's L'Orfeo: an excursion into its neoplatonic layers (1995)
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- The study is divided not into chapters but into areas of questions. The first area offers a structural analysis of the Prologue which supports La Musica's claims about the power of music; the second one challenges the traditional view of Orfeo as representing a consistent statement about that power; the third, is devoted to a refutation (the first as far as I know) of McClary's reading of the opera. The study concludes with a discussion of the so-called "problem" of the opera's two finales. M.Mus. (Historical Musicology) thesis, King's College London, 1995.
