Dialogo della musica antica et della moderna of Vincenzo Galilei: Translation and Commentary

 16 0

The purpose of this study is to provide a practical English translation of Vincenzo Galilei's significant treatise on ancient and modern music (1581).  In spite of the important place this work holds in the history of
music, it has never before been made available in its entirety in any language other than the original Italian. The Dialogo della music a antics et della modern was, in effect, an expression of monodic tendencies in
Italian music of the sixteenth century.  While the prevailing vocal compositional style was contrapuntal, Galilei advocated the development of homophonic pieces, which could produce in their hearers whatever affections or emotions the composer desired to convey.  The emphasis was on simplicity of melody, with only a few chords for accompaniment.  This style, with its sparseness of means, was influenced by the music of the ancient Greeks, whose philosophies and art forms were in credit at the time, having been revived by such Renaissance humanists as Lorenzo di Medici, Marsilio Ficino, and Angelo Poliziano.
Galilei, influenced by the erudite Girolamo Mei who was a classical philologist, drew away from his former mentor, Gioseffo Zarlino, a firm believer in traditional counterpoint.
