Product Description
From the Publisher
Some sample entries:
OCARINA
(It., little goose). Small wind instrument, normally oval in shape and made of terracotta or plastic, with holes for mouth and fingers. It is found worldwide, but only in very few classical scores (e.g. Ligeti's Violin Concerto).
CIRCLE OF FIFTHS
(Ger. Quintenzirkel). Imaginary wheel of the 12 notes or tonalities stepping in equal-tempered fifths: C, G, D, A, E, B, F#/Gb, C#/Db, Ab, Eb, Bb, F, and so on back to C. Because modulation though a fifth is straightforward, passages in diatonic music often move around an arc of fifths - or even, in two early preludes by Beethoven (Op.39), the entire circle.
PERI, JACOPO
(b. Rome/Florence, 20 Aug 1561; d. Florence, 12 Aug 1633). Italian composer, one of the founders of opera. After studies with Cristoforo Malvezzi he served the Medicis, composing and singing in the new style of expressive monody. His and Corsi's setting of Rinuccini's Dafne, performed in 1598, is the earliest recorded opera; nearly all its music is lost. He set a second such piece for the marriage in 1600 of Henry IV of France and Marie de' Medici, Euridice, to which Caccini added music. Both composers then completed their own versions. His later music includes further dramatic works and oratorios, of which little survives, and songs.
