分析18世纪伊比利亚宫廷歌剧的音乐特色,揭示其与欧洲主流的异同。
Constructing Opera Seria in the Iberian Courts: Metastasian Repertoire for Spain and Portugal
- 对比十五部为马德里和里斯本宫廷创作的歌剧,研究作曲风格差异
- 发现伊比利亚宫廷作品在调性、节奏、声乐处理上具有独特偏好
- 适合对巴洛克歌剧、跨文化音乐史感兴趣的读者
18世纪皮耶特罗·梅塔斯塔西奥的作品在全欧,尤其是伊比利亚半岛广受欢迎。这一现象表明西班牙和葡萄牙积极参与了当时的国际艺术潮流。然而,这种国际化需谨慎看待:一些专为半岛宫廷创作的歌剧作品显示,当地观众在社会与音乐审美上存在特殊期待。本文通过统计分析十五部专为马德里和里斯本宫廷剧院创作的歌剧,与2,404段来自126个梅塔斯塔西奥歌剧版本的咏叹调数据进行比较,考察佩雷斯、加卢普皮、乔梅利、康福尔托、科尔塞利等五位国际作曲家在调性、节拍、速度及声乐处理上的变化。定量分析表明,伊比利亚宫廷歌剧虽处于欧洲歌剧主流脉络中,但其独特音乐特征部分源于本地音乐传统、性别观念及作曲家个人风格。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
The exceptional reception of Pietro Metastasio's works during the eighteenth century, all over Europe and in the Iberian Peninsula in particular, is well documented. Due to that unparalleled success, it is possible to ascertain Spain and Portugal's participation in international, contemporary tastes and artistic webs, applicable to both composers and performers. However, this internationalisation needs to be nuanced, as some characteristics of the repertoire specifically written for the Peninsula indicate that their court audiences may have had expectations, both social and strictly musical, different from those of the public in opera theatres elsewhere in the continent. In this light, this article investigates in what ways the style of five composers in the international scene - Perez, Galuppi, Jommelli, Conforto, and Corselli - varied when commissioned to write opera seria for the Iberian courts. The statistical analysis of fifteen settings especially written for the court theatres in Madrid and Lisbon, in comparison to the average data extracted from a corpus of 2,404 arias from 126 versions of a select number of Metastasian librettos, allows us to evaluate some particular usages regarding key, metre, tempo, and treatment of the vocal part. In this manner, through quantitative analysis, this article places eighteenth-century Iberian music production and consumption in the context of European opera seria, while ultimately suggesting that its unique musical characteristics were also partly dependent on local musical customs, gender stereotypes, and personal idiosyncrasies alike.
