Abstract
This abstract is based on my October 24, 1992 recital given at the Hearst Center for the Arts. The accompanist 1. was Svetlana Gabruk, a University of Northern Iowa Master of Music candidate and student of Dr. Joyce Gault. The recital opened with a set of five short songs from Claudio Monteverdi's Scherzi Musicali printed in 1632 by Bartholomeo Magni. Monteverdi composed at a time when solo songs were very popular, but he himself wrote very few. Even though his solo songs are not characteristic examples of his style, they do display Monteverdi's use of contrasting textures, dramatic expression and great organization. There are two available editions of Scherzi Musicali, but neither includes an English translation. The translation of the poetry was by Nicole Bachman with assistance from Germana Nijim for clarification of idiomatic expressions and poetic language. For performance practices, Denis Arnold's The New Monteverdi Companion and Robert Donington's Baroque Music: style and Performance were consulted.
