	Giovanni de' Bardi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Giovanni de Bardi (February 5, 1534 – September 1612), Count of Vernio, was an Italian literary critic, writer, composer and soldier.
		Bardi is mainly famous for being host, patron, and inspiration to the group of composers, music theorists and scholars who made up the Florentine Camerata, the group which attempted to restore the aesthetic effect of ancient Greek music to contemporary practice.
		The result of the association was the invention of monody, and shortly thereafter, opera; in addition, the innovations brought to music by the Camerata under the guidance of Bardi were one of the defining characteristics of what we now know as Baroque music.

	Giulio Caccini - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the 1560s, Cosimo de' Medici was so impressed with his talent that he took the young Caccini to Florence for further study.
		He was a tenor, and he was able to accompany himself on the viol; he sang at various entertainments, including weddings and affairs of state, and took part in the sumptuous intermedi of the time, the elaborate musical, dramatic, visual spectacles which were one of the precursors of opera.
		Also during this time he took part in the movement of humanists, writers, musicians and scholars of the ancient world who formed the Florentine Camerata, the group which gathered at the home of Count Giovanni de' Bardi, and which was dedicated to recovering the supposed lost glory of ancient Greek dramatic music.

		Nevertheless amongst the century old legends that surround Bardi, the one about Hannibal's elephant (the last of 37) which died in solitude on the banks of the river Ceno leaving in inheritance a place name of its own, has been the hardest to give into historical truths.
		It is now known that the Bardi name dates back as far as 600 A.D. when a group of Longobardi fighters, the Arimanni, camped under the cliffs of the blood colored, rocky promontory which dominates the area.
		Bardi's castle is a very important building, for the position, the architecture and its history.

	Florentine_Camerata
		The Florentine Camerata was a group of humanists, musicians, poets and intellectuals in late Renaissance Florence who gathered under the patronage of Count Giovanni de' Bardi to discuss and guide trends in the arts, especially music and drama.
		They met mainly from about 1573 until the late 1580s, at the house of Bardi, and their gatherings had the reputation of having all the most famous men of Florence as frequent guests.
		Bardi wrote the Discorso (1578), a long letter to Giulio Caccini, and Galilei published the Dialogo della musica antica et della moderna (1581-1582).

	THE IMAGE OF MELANCHOLY AND THE EVOLUTION OF BAROQUE IDIOM - Ken Perlow
		Bardi (1534-1612) was the eminence grise of the movement.
		Bardi's Intermedi of 1589 reveal his passion for the Hermetic system just in their names: The Harmony of the Spheres, The Rivalry of the Muses, The Song of Arion, The Descent of Apollo and Bacchus Together with Rhythm and Harmony.
		Bardi is also believed to have written (his intermedi reveal the depth of his interest in theater and staging), sometime between 1581 and 1589, the Discorso come si debba recitar tragedia.

	The sound of true feeling
		Bardi cites evidence of music's curative powers; he adduces reports from classical antiquity attesting to cases of insanity, fever and gout, where the afflicted were healed by music.
		Bardi's conception thus links the classical Greek view of music's ethical nature - the faculty of exercising a beneficial influence on human character - with modern musical therapy.
		Similarly, Bardi and his friends held up an idealized picture of Art's function - linked in this case to the notion of the individual, immutable yet beset by the threat of dissolution, stable yet in constant motion; in short, a subject in the process of maturing.

		In 1573, at the instigation of Christophe de Thou, long a friend of the family, the Parlement of Paris, of which de Thou was president, seized the recent legacy of Pierre Ramus to endow a chair in mathematics at the Collège Royale, and perverted it to a subsidy of 500 livres per annum for Gohory.

		VIIIa, a genealogy of the Bardi family shows that Giovanni Bardi, later to become a Jesuit, was born in Florence in April 1594.
		As Galileo only returned from Padua to Florence in 1610, it seems unlikely that he would have encountered Bardi before this date, and with Galileo's stay in Rome in 1611 and Bardi's departure from Florence before 1613, the contact between Bardi and Galileo is unlikely to have been particularly extensive.

		In fact, nobody seems to know exactly how far the Greeks went, beyond singing or intoning some of their choruses, but there is a general belief that, as in all things, they went a bit further than was absolutely necessary.
		The true beginnings of opera as we know it happened in the houses of a couple of Florentine impresarios, Giovanni de' Bardi and Jacopi Corsi (later of Bardi & Corsi plc) who used to organise gatherings of musicians and poets in the hopes that some of them would come up with something or other.
		Contrary to the beliefs of all but Giovanni and Jacopi, opera really caught on with audiences who seemed to like the idea of an entertainment that they were not expected to understand.

	Annibale Gianuario - The Camerata
		The Camerata Fiorentina, or, to be more precise, the Camerata de Giovanni Bardi des Contes de Vernio is the remarkable outcome of humanistic research into the Art of Music as defined by Plato, and it was the Bardi, the Corsi and the Medicis who helped carry this research through to a successful conclusion.
		But it is precisely the musicians of Florence, gravitating around Corsi and Bardi, who propounded the return to a manner of singing which should draw on the expressive depths of feeling speech rather than create a melodic line to bring out the meaning of the words.
		This poiesis reveals itself in musical terms by the osmosis (if I may use the expression) between the component parts of human communication, that is to say the rational meaning of the word, and the dynamic force and audible manifestation of the concept.

		In Don Giovanni, the ominous theme of the Stone Guest (from the Act II) is heard as a premonition at the beginning of the overture, thus setting an emotional tone as well as providing musical structure to the entire work.
		The introduction to Donna Anna's "Or sai chi l'onore" in Don Giovanni is an example of the"accompagnato" style, where the orchestral sonorities are capable of varying the mood of the narration more than the simple harpsichord accompaniment could.
		The derivation of the name is intriguing: early zarzuelas were performed in the Palacio de la Zarzuela in Madrid, so named because it was surrounded by a field of brambles ("zarza" being Spanish for bramble).
