Lamentos al son del arpa. La imagen del rey David penitente en la pintura valenciana del Barroco
2015
Este artículo parte de dos lienzos de Pablo Pontons y Vicente Guilló para el estudio de la imagen del rey David, especialmente en su tipo iconográfico de David penitente. Formulado originalmente en las miniaturas medievales que se apoyaban en su papel de salmista y fundador de la música sacra, esta tipología tomó episodios de su vida que se convirtieron en modelos de penitencia. El trabajo estudia la tradición cultural convencionalizada de la gura de David, su patronazgo musical y la continuidad del tipo del rey penitente en el Barroco, tanto en grabados como en programas visuales como los de Pontons y Guilló para Morella y Alcalà de Xivert, respectivamente. Este uso didáctico per…

Opera Ludica. Alcune riflessioni sul gioco a carte nel teatro musicale fra Ottocento e Novecento
2010
The essay aims to shed light on the relationship between opera and play, focusing on the card scenes in four operatic masterpieces of the 19th and 20th centuries: "Carmen" (1875), "The Queen of Spades" (1890), "The Girl of the Golden West" (1910) and "The Rake’s Progress" (1951). In these operas, the idea of play is much more than a simple cue or thematic subject: it has a substantial and paradigmatic function, directly connected with the dramaturgic and musical architecture of the work. On the other hand, these operas share some features that can be linked to the idea of time and to the metalinguistic value of play: although play and music take place in time, they tend to annul it, thus en…
Guest Editors' Introduction: Music as Embodied Experience
2020
Technology has impacted music’s role in contemporary society in extraordinary ways. In addition to how people use music for professional and artistic pursuits, technology has opened a wide variety of new avenues for research and application, particularly as a reliable therapeutic and salutogenic tool. Recently, a useful framework for studying this shifting perspective surrounding musical experience has emerged: embodied music cognition, which conceptualizes the body as being at the center of music experiences. The papers in this thematic issue highlight how music technologies have matured to the point where they affect the way music is created, performed, enjoyed, and researched.
La vocalidad del violín en el norte de Italia en torno a 1600
2021
Throughout the present research I intend to demonstrate the powerful link between the vocal practice in accompanied monody and the way Early Italian violin music ought to be interpreted. Due to the scarce amount of articulation and ornamentation in this music, I consider that historical criteria should be found in order to back up the subjective choices in its performance. According to this, I focus on reviewing sources that describe the vocal practice around 1600, but also contemporary sources in which we can find instructions addressed to bow instruments. Besides, a catalogue of articulations and ornamentations present in early editions of printed violin music is attached. Last, I comment…
Los ángeles músicos: estudio iconográfico
2017
La presente tesis doctoral tiene como objetivo realizar un estudio del tipo iconográfico del ángel músico y sus variantes en la tradición cristiana desde su creación en el siglo XII hasta finales del siglo XVII, ofreciendo también unas breves pinceladas sobre el siglo XVIII, momento en el que su imagen cobra especial importancia en el arte iberoamericano. Para ello se realiza un recorrido a través de su imagen literaria y visual utilizando fuentes muy diversas con el objetivo de aproximarse a su significado original y a los cambios que éste ha ido experimentando a lo largo del tiempo y del espacio. Los ángeles músicos son la última expresión de un complejo conjunto de ideas musicales de car…

From the Morlack to the Slav: Images of South Slavic People between Exoticism and Illyrism in Italian Literature and Opera during the 19th Century
2012
Alberto Fortis’ “Viaggio in Dalmazia” (Padua, 1774) described for the first time the Morlacks (Cr. “Vlasi”) of the inner Dalmatia as the true model of a primitive group, whose characteristics became a source of inspiration until 1830s for some Italian writers and ballet composers devoted to exoticism. Contemporaneously, Homer’s paradigm, introduced by Melchiorre Cesarotti in the foreword to the Italian version of the poems of Ossian (1763), as quoted by Fortis, was in turn transformed by the composer and doctor of Split Giulio Bajamonti. Even though published in Italian, Bajamonti’s “Morlacchismo d’Omero” (Venice, 1797) must be considered as the first contribution to the romantic Croatian l…
