I always thought that the practice started with the "Lamento della Ninfa" in the 8th book of Madrigals (also with a text by Rinuccini), but that was published in 1638 and the Scherzi were published in 1632.Elaine Finehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14248422399226824168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10680113.post-79772154719456309622013-01-28T12:29:07.457-06:002013-01-28T12:29:07.457-06:00This is the piece that almost certainly started th...This is the piece that almost certainly started the mid-baroque fad of ciacconas in Italian music. After the publication of his Scherzi musicali there was a veritable flood of vocal ciacconas, and, eventually, instrumental ones (Merula, Falconieri, et al). Eventually every opera had to end with a ciaccona. One person complained of singers introducing the pattern into masses.

The life of Monteverdi conincides with religious wars and persecuctions, style conflicts in music and plastic arts, and he was able to write because of sponsorship from both the nobility and the church, the "elite" of his era. A genius without question, he needed the support which he found, and oddly those "trying times" included the Ottoman–Venetian War (1570–1573), Long War (1593-1606) Muslim Turks against many European city states and nations, and of course Europe's own Thirty Years' War (1618-1648). Trying times then, and it seems not much has changed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
