	Casebook: Jack the Ripper - Message Boards: Don Carlo Gesualdo (1561-1613)
		Don Carlo Gesualdo may have become a great musician but he was not a good husband and conducted several affairs (dallying with both sexes) and there were rumours that he was cruel to his new wife, who by now had born him a son, Alfonsino.
		Don Carlo was already ill with asthma but he rapidly became afflicted with a manic depressive illness leading to a deterioration in his behaviour exhibited in sadism and masochism.
		Don Carlo became so deranged that he felt he could have no peace unless he was beaten three times a day by a team of ten young men.

	Review: Gesualdo - NDR
		Don Carlo Gesualdo was rich, artistic, and - as the second son of a noble Neapolitan family - free to indulge his passion for music.
		Gesualdo wrote this work for his solitary delectation in his private chapel: this was the solace in his remorseful last days.
		Gesualdo was the last representative of the old era, but he was trapped as though in a cage.

	GOLDBERG: Gesualdo, CarloGesualdo, CarloGesualdo, Carlo
		In L’astratto (The distraction), the composer Barbara Strozzi, born in 1619, six years after Gesualdo’s death, employs a formal structure that mimics the succession of arias and recitatives, alternating cantabile passages with a clear rhythmic dance pattern, and recitar cantando passages in the stile nuovo, plagued with dissonances.
		It was one of Don Carlo’s uncles, Giulio Gesualdo, who having discovered them embracing and resentful because he himself had been rejected by Maria, already twice a widow and famous in Naples for her beauty, denounced them to the prince.
		Gesualdo’s music was thus more than a group of madrigals and imaginative sacred works, of great originality and admirably written, which he symbolised.

	Don Carlo Gesualdo by David Wright MusicWeb(UK) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
		Carlo's grandfather, Luigi Gesualdo had been ennobled as the first prince of Venosa by King Philip of Spain on the occasion of the marriage of his eldest son, Fabrizio (Carlo's father) to Girolama Borromeo, a niece of Pope Pius IV.
		Carlo's first teacher was probably Pompino Nenna (c 1555- 1617) who was to include two of Gesualdo's madrigals in the eighth volume of his works published posthumously in 1618.
		Gesualdo, realising the implications, had the child suspended in a sort of cradle from the roof of the great hall the ropes of which could be pulled up and down violently.

		Carlo will become heir of title and patrimony because of the premature death of his brother Luigi.
		Without any other male heirs, the lineage of the Gesualdo family was extinguished with the death of Carlo, the 8th of September, 1613, at the apex of its power and the splendour.

	Gesualdo
		Gesualdo, or to give him his full title, Duke Carlo Gesualdo, Prince of Venosa, was probably born in 1566 (though some scholars set the date as early as1560 or 61), the second son of Fabrizio II Gesualdo and Girolama Borromeo.
		The Gesualdos were feudal landowners with a modest castle in the Italian village of Gesualdo (60 miles from Naples), a larger one in the ancient town of Venosa, plus a palace in Naples.
		While details of Carlo's early life are scarce, it is known that he published a competent motet in 1585.

		Gesualdo's output consists of six volumes of five-part madrigals, published from 1594; two books of motets and one of responsories; and a few keyboard works.
		These violent contrasts seem to reflect Gesualdo's neurotic personality; from a stylistic viewpoint his harmonic experiments are more the ultimate outcome of sixteenth century harmonic vocabulary than prophetic of the music that was to come; it was only in the eccentricity of his melodic lines that some monodists followed.

		Gesualdo was a controversial composer known for taking the Italian madrigal to the height of chromaticism.
		Also a bit shocking is the fact that Gesualdo was the admitted murderer of his wife and her lover.
		The title refers to the typical sentiment in the madrigal texts of Gesualdo's time, when it seemed that nearly all poets were dying of unrequited love, and their ladies were all cruel and fair.

		Donna Maria had already been widowed twice before the age of thirty, having been first married at the age of fifteen, and importantly, had already produced two children so was demonstrably fertile (she is also claimed to have been beautiful and charming).
		Gesualdo died in 1610 (there were reports that Eleonora was responsible) and became the inspiration of several odes, plays and novels.
		Gesualdo seems, in his music, to inhabit an intensely private creative and harmonic world hardly less eccentric and disturbing than his personal life.

		Two years later she began to have a love affair with Fabrizio Carafa, the Duke of Andria; evidently she was able to keep it secret from her husband for almost two years, even though the existence of the affair was well-known elsewhere.
		One suggested explanation for this is that Gesualdo first murdered his wife, and after this turned his attentions to the Duke, forcing him to don his lover's clothing, most probably to humiliate him.
		Gesualdo was particularly fond of chromatic third relations, for instance juxtaposing the chords of A major and F major, or even C-sharp major and A minor (as he does at the beginning of "Moro, lasso" [1]).

		Carlo Gesualdo wurde als Sohn des Fürsten von Venosa geboren und erhielt am Hofe früh eine fundierte musikalische Ausbildung in Komposition und dem Spiel der Bass-Laute.
		Gesualdo ging als eine der schillerndsten Figuren in die Musikgeschichte ein, denn sein kompositorisches Schaffen ist überlagert von der Tatsache, dass er vermutlich ein dreifacher Mörder war.
		Kennzeichnend für den Kompositionsstil Gesualdos ist der häufige Einsatz von Chromatik und unerwarteten Tonartenwechseln zum Zwecke der eindringlichen Ausdeutung der Textvorlagen.

	Lady Constance Fairfax
		Don Carlo Gesualdo, a major composer of the late madrigal style, remains controversial almost four hundred years after his death.
		Gesualdo had probably heard the Arcicembalo, which was a harpsichord in which each octave had 31 keys, each being a quarter-step apart, which gave all the tones of ancient Greek theory in any tonality without having to deviate from Pythagorean tuning.
		Gesualdo implements imitation in this piece in measures 3-6 (che il dolore), measures 8-10(di vita), 12-15 (proruppe in pianto), where the altus line deviates to provide harmonic and rhythmic dissonance), 17-19 (Con interroti omèi)has "false" imitation, 24 (Ch'io non languisca), 29-31(vivo son), and 32-36 (che i spiriti spenti).

		Gesualdo: Death for Five Voices starts off as a straight-up documentary about a demented renaissance composer, but Herzog's twists are what make it memorable.
		Not only did he compose wonderfulness, he was multi-talented in the areas of gardening (he chopped a measly country-side in a matter of 2 to 3 months), cooking (he prepared a meal for over 1000 people with 125 courses of quail), and murder.

	Gesualdo, Carlo
		Don Carlo Gesualdo, prince of Venosa, may have been born in Venice on March 8, 1566.
		Gesualdo's later music is characterized by fragmented poetry, unconventional cadences, exaggerated rhetorical devices, ambiguous successions of chords, and a free mixture of counterpoint and homophony.
		He is considered to be one of the finest and certainly one of the most innovative composers of Italian madrigals in the late Renaissance.
