Topic: Giovanni Caccini


  
  Giulio Caccini - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
With Caccini's abilities as a singer, instrumentalist, and composer added to the mix of intellects and talents, the Camerata developed the concept of monody—an emotionally affective solo vocal line, accompanied by relatively simple chordal harmony on one or more instruments—which was a revolutionary departure from the polyphonic practice of the late Renaissance.
Caccini's character seems to have been less than perfectly honorable, as he was frequently motivated by envy and jealousy, not only in his professional life but for personal advancement with the Medici.
Caccini's achievement was to create a type of direct musical expression, as easily understood as speech, which later developed into the operatic recitative, and which influenced numerous other stylistic and textural elements in Baroque music.

With Caccini's abilities as a singer, instrumentalist, and composer added to the mix of intellects and talents, the Camerata developed the concept of monody--an emotionally affective solo vocal line, accompanied by relatively simple chordal harmony on one or more instruments--which was a revolutionary departure from the polyphonic practice of the late Renaissance.
Caccini's most influential work was a collection of madrigals and songs for solo voice and basso continuo, published in 1601 (old style), called Le nuove musiche.
It includes musical examples of ornaments--for example how a specific passage can be ornamented in several different ways, according to the precise emotion that the singer wishes to convey; it also includes effusive praise for the style which he himself invented, and amusing disdain for the work of more conservative composers of the period.

 HOASM: Francesco Caccini
Francesca Caccini, often called "La Cecchina" ("The Songbird"), was born in Florence, Italy, on the eighteenth of September, 1587.
Music was a huge part of Francesca's life from almost before her birth, as her father, Guilio Caccini, was a well respected and prolific composer, and her mother, Lucia Gagnolanti, was a singer herself.
Francesca's musical training began early, and she was known to have played the keyboard, lute, guitar, and harp, in addition to her singing for which she was most famous.

After instruction with Giovanni Animuccia in Rome, he studied with Scipione delle Palle in Florence, under Medici patronage.
During the 1570s and 1580s he began a celebrated association with the "camerata" of Florence, and partly under the influence of its members--including Vincenzo Galilei and Bardi--he began composing in a vocal style that, as he declared, more closely approximated speech.
Beginning about 1610 Caccini frequently took part in chamber concerts for Grand Duke Ferdinando de' Medici; 1610 was also the year in which he was made director of sacred music at S. Nicola.

Caccini even reproduced the details of Brunelleschi's language such as the conclusion of the corner pillars derived from the transepts of the churches of San Lorenzo and Santo Spirito.
Precious cladding became the dominant theme in the chapel of the Princes, situated on the longitudinal axis of the church of San Lorenzo and conceived as its scenic conclusion (even though the wall between the chapel and church was never torn down).
For the occasion, the statues of the four seasons by Pietro Francavilla, Giovanni Caccini and Taddeo Landini, were placed at the ends of the Ponte Santa Trinita, as were the two inlaid "needles" by Seravezza set in Piazza Santa Maria Novella where the traditional "palio dei Cocchi" race was held.

Caccini, Cavalieri, and Peri—and also the poet Ottavio Rinuccini—were concerned each to claim precedence for their achievements prior to and within their published work, and also to explain theoretical and practical novelties for the uninitiated, the ill-informed, or the skeptical.
Giovanni de’ Bardi, a loyal servant of His Highness, asked me with amazement, how it is possible that His Highness had not made use of Bernardo [Buontalenti] and of me and failed to follow the example of the comedy of the wedding [of 1589] by having a comedy with intermedi, using Guarini also.
She had married Caccini by the time the family made its tour to France in Autumn 1604; in the preface to Le nuove musiche (the dedication is dated 1 February 1601/2), however, Caccini refers (with some respect) to his “moglie passata,” i.e., Lucia, who was excellent in performing trilli.

 Biography
He knew the works of Giambologna at first hand and collaborated with one of Giambologna's pupil, Giovanni Caccini (1556-1612); this knowledge he passed on to his more gifted son.
Pietro's technical expertise was quickly recognized in Rome, for he received prominent commissions in Santa Maria Maggiore, the most memorable being the handsome relief of the Assumption of the Virgin for the sacristy.
Pietro Bernini had talent and phenomenal technical ability, and in some works, such as the Faun Teased by Cupids in the Metropolitan Museum in New York, a strong overlap with the first independent works of his son is apparent.

He was the pupil and assistant of Giovanni Antonio Dosio and probably moved with his master from Rome to Florence in November 1575, spending the rest of his life in Florence.
He had become fully established by the late 1590s, and his predominance as a sculptor in Florence was assured by the move of his rival, Pietro Francavilla, to France in 1601.
Of a secondary nature, Caccini’s rather obscurely documented work as an architect began in the 1590s and continued until his death.

The method was first successfully applied by Giovanni Domenico Cassini in 1681 and was later used extensively for land surveys; for navigation, the first practical method was the chronometer of John Harrison.
Before Galileo had trouble with the Jesuits and before the Dominican friar Caccini denounced him from the pulpit, his employer heard him accused of contradicting Scripture by a professor of philosophy, Cosimo Boscaglia, who was neither a theologian nor a priest.
The first to defend Galileo was a Benedictine abbot, Benedetto Castelli, who was also a professor of mathematics and a former student of Galileo's.

His early interest in sculpture led him to frequent, albeit for only a short time, the workshop of Valerio Cioli and Giovanni Bandini.
He then made contact with Bernardo Buontalenti, with whom he collaborated on the production of the wooden models (destr.) for his Cappella dei Principi in the church of S Lorenzo and the pulpit for S Maria at Settignano, near Florence.
On Buontalenti’s advice, Silvani sought admission to the circle of Giambologna, but on being refused, he allied himself to the school of Giovanni Battista Caccini, becoming his principal apprentice and later a collaborator, inheriting a large number of Caccini’s incomplete projects on the latter’s death in 1613.
