	Jacopo Peri - LoveToKnow 1911
		He was an important member of the literary and artistic circle which frequented the house of Giovanni Bardi, conte de Vernio, where the revival of Greek tragedy with its appropriate musical declamation was a favourite subject of discussion.
		Peri himself seems never to have followed up his success with other operas; he became maestro, di cappella to the duke of Ferrara in 1601, but after the publication of his Varie musiche a una, due e ire voci at Florence in 1609, nothing more is known of him.
		Peri's work is of course primitive in the extreme, but it is by no means without beauty, and there are many scenes in Euridice which show a considerable dramatic power.

	Jacopo Peri - Definition, explanation
		Jacopo Peri (August 20, 1561 – August 12, 1633) was an Italian composer and singer, often called the inventor of opera.
		Peri was probably born in Rome, but studied in Florence with Cristofano Malvezzi, and went on to work in a number of churches there.
		Peri and Corsi brought in the poet Ottavio Rinuccini to write a text, and the result, Dafne, though nowadays thought to be a long way from anything the Greeks would have recognised, is seen as the first work in a new form, opera.

		This work was so much admired that in 1600 Rinuccini and Peri were commissioned to produce an opera on the occasion of the marriage of Henri IV of France with Marie de Medici.

	HOASM: Jacopo Peri ["Zazzerino"]
		He collaborated with Corsi and the librettist Rinuccini on the short pastoral Dafne (earliest performance 1598), and worked again with Rinuccini on the opera Euridice (Florence, 1600), in which Peri probably performed the role of Orpheus.
		Peri worked with the librettist Cini on Tetide, planned for the wedding festivities of 1608 in Mantua but rejected in favor of Monteverdi's Arianna; Adone (1611; libretto by Cicognini) was similarly intended for Mantua but not performed there.
		Peri presumably composed four of the six excerpts from Dafne that survive in Florentine manuscripts, his music for Ovid's prologue was later adapted for the prologue to Euridice.

	Annibale Gianuario - The Camerata
		Jacopo Corsi (...) a great connoisseur of music, to see what could be done to ensure not only that the music does not prevent one from catching the words, but more, that it helps bring out more clearly their meaning and their representative intent, he asked Sig.
		It is, on the contrary, corollary to it, for while Jacopo Peri holds that it is impossible to expound (speech) when the exposition is obliged to follow the contours of musical form (song), Monteverdi, for his part, wants the harmony of the song to spring from the spoken word.
		Jacopo Peri («0ur latter-day Orpheus» as his contemporaries called him) gives an account of his personal research into the harmony to be derived from the play between musical chords and modulations and normally accentuated speech.

	Peri
		Peri's drama, with its continuous music, includes choruses to end each scene and notable solo elements, with the lament of Orpheus, Non piango e non sospiro (I weep not and sigh not) and his later expression of grief Funeste piagge, ombrosi orridi campi (Dreadful shores, dark terrible fields).
		Peri, like many other members of the camerata, knew that words were already intoned in speech and that one speaks while passing through non-intoned ones until one hits another intoned one.
		The form of recitative that he used was not especially novel in terms of having melody follow the pattern of speech, but more so in the rhythms of the speech, more specifically, the interaction of speech rhythm and measured rhythm and of free dissonance and triadic harmony.

	Jacopo Peri - Euridice [JW]: Classical Reviews- April 2002 MusicWeb(UK)
		Peri’s Euridice is often hailed as the first extant opera.
		Written to a text by Ottavio Rinuccino for the marriage of Henry of Navarre to Marie de Medici it was intended as a cultural trump card to demonstrate Florentine superiority.
		Peri employed the recitar cantando as a medium through which to convey this elevated invention — a melodic line for the singer and another instrumental part, the basso continuo; chordal progressions were suggested only in cases of doubtful interpretation.

		(3) “The group, sometimes called the Florentine Camerata, included Jacopo Peri, Giulio Caccini, Ottavio Rinuccini and Vincenzo Galilei… They developed a new and simple type of music called monody -- one melody with accompaniment. The writings and music of these men paved the way for the creation of opera in Florence”.
		(4) This was arguably, a turning point in Peri’s career and life.
		(5) It could be argued that this experience, with the combination of the company of intellectual friends he associated with, stimulated Peri’s desire to create his own dramatic production.

		According to my huge Oxford English Dictionary, a "peri," derived from the Persian, is a supernatural being who grants wishes.
		A malevolent genie is one form a peri might take; a fairy godmother, another.
		Whether Jacopo emerged from a rubbed lantern is probably disputed by church records, but certainly a number of operas feature fairies, fair and square.

		Jacobo Peri was an Italian composer and singer working in Florence.
		At that time, there was a general feeling among Florence's intellectuals that the art of their time was inferior to that of the ancient Greeks, so they became obsessed with trying to recreate Greek tragedy.
		According to modern scholarship, it was a long way off from what the ancient Greeks would have recognized, but instead it spawned a whole new form that would last for then next 400 years.
