Madrigali esemplari: analitica gesualdiana prospettica
2008
Il saggio presenta una riflessione su come accostarsi analiticamente ai madrigali di Carlo Gesualdo da Vemosa. Nella prima parte del saggio è presentata una rassegna critica dei contributi più significativi all'analisi gesualdina, comparsi nel Novecento. Nella seconda parte viene discussa l'analisi di madrigali gesualdiani condotta da Padre Giambattista Martini nel suo "Esemplare" (1774-1775), e ne vengono evidenziati gli aspetti che si rivelano ancora utili all'approccio analitico contemporaneo.
Motivic Pattern Extraction in Music, and Application to the Study of Tunisian Modal Music
2007
A new methodology for automated extraction of repeated patterns in time-series data is presented, aimed in particular at the analysis of musical sequences. The basic principles consists in a search for closed patterns in a multi-dimensional parametric space. It is shown that this basic mechanism needs to be articulated with a periodic pattern discovery system, implying therefore a strict chronological scanning of the time-series data. Thanks to this modelling global pattern filtering may be avoided and rich and highly pertinent results can be obtained. The modelling has been integrated in a collaborative pro ject between ethnomusicology, cognitive sciences and computer science, aimed at the…

La serenata a Palermo alla fine del Seicento e il duca di Uceda
2007
Attraverso documenti inediti, si prende in esame l'attività musicale sviluppatasi in Sicilia sotto il viceré Uceda (1687-1696), con particolare riferimento al genere musicale della serenata ed agli apparati scenografici realizzati dall'architetto Giacomo Amato.
Two Unknown Cases of Printed Incidental Music in the Sixteenth- and Seventeenth-Century Italian Theatre
2015
Francesco Contarini published his pastoral "La finta Fiammetta", staged in Padua with a set of intermedi in carnival 1610, under the patronage of Cardinal Scipione Borghese. A second edition (1611) – likewise dedicated to the cardinal – is accompanied by a separate libretto containing intermedi dedicated to Giovanni Mocenigo, Venetian ambassador at the Holy See in Rome. Against the background of the “War of the Interdiction” between Rome and Venice (1606–1607) the political role of these books is evident. The second of the four "Intermedi rappresentati nella f inta Fiammetta" (1611) , entitled "La lotta di Hercole con la Morte", was set to music in 1624 by Innocentio Vivarino ("Madrigali co…

Adaptive memory representations of musical tempo and pitch
2009
Recent studies showed that the perception of extremely shifted versions of familiar pieces of music affects judgements about the original tempo and pitch. This paper aims to give an overview on musical adaptation effects (MAEs) for musical tempo and pitch. The focus is set on the questions if the recently found MAEs are generally comparable between the tempo and the pitch domain, and if they can be found to the same extent. In a series of eight empirical studies (N = 288, mean age = 26, SD = 8.6, 78 % female participants) the influence of extremely shifted versions (tempo-accelerated or pitch-shifted) of audio signals on memory representations was tested. Within this paper the focus will be…
La dimensione musicale dei trovatori
2020
Sintesi sugli aspetti musicali della lirica dei trovatori che riguardano più da vicino il testo poetico. Dopo un paragrafo introduttivo sulla scissione disciplinare tra filologia e musicologia e le conseguenze che ne derivano sul piano ermeneutico (§ 1), viene presentata la tradizione scritta delle melodie trobadoriche: canzonieri e tracce musicali, tradizione indiretta e latente (§ 2). Si discutono quindi la concezione del sonum presso i trovatori e la questione della paternità musicale, la funzione della struttura musicale della strofa di canzone (cantus divisio) e le sue ricadute sull’interpretazione metrica e testuale (§ 3). Vengono infine considerate alcune questioni generali circa il …
Mathematics and Musical Entropy
2020
Arts can provide intuitive examples to enhance the understanding of complex mathematical concepts. Also, mathematics can give precise answers to musical questions that can be raised during the analysis of works of art including musical scores. If musical parameters and mathematical objects are seen as belonging to categories, analysis becomes a dialogue and a mapping between them. This paper develops an idea of “open” musicology that exploits suggestions and contaminations with other research areas, first of all from mathematics and the mathematical formalism behind physics. The focus is on the concept of entropy joined with Discrete Fourier Transforms (DFT), that can be extended to the def…
