Monteverdi and Striggio's Orfeo: Modern Music, a Pre-Modern Play, and an Academy in Search of an Idealized Past
Dr. Schwindt's talk is based on his book, which introduces a new perspective on Claudio Monteverdi and Alessandro Striggio’s Orfeo (1607), a work widely regarded as the “first great opera,” by exploring the influence of the Mantuan Accademia degli Invaghiti, the group that hosted the opera’s first performance and to which the libretto author, Alessandro Striggio the Younger, belonged. Today, he will be focusing on those aspects of Striggio's libretto that have a distinctly pre-modern flavor, in contrast with Monteverdi's unmistakably modern music, as both relate to the cultural profile of Mantua at this point in Duke Vincenzo Gonzaga's reign.
Joel Schwindt is an Assistant Professor of Music History at The Boston Conservatory at Berklee. His research focuses on vocal music of the early modern era from Italy and France, touching on issues of Humanism and learned societies, gender, religious philosophy, and class rivalry. He has presented at various national and international conferences, including the American Musicological Society, the Society for Seventeenth Century Music, and the Renaissance Society of America; he has also received awards from the Mellon Foundation, the American Musicological Society, and the Koch Cultural Trust. Selected publications include his book, Orpheus in the Academy: Monteverdi’s First Opera, and the Accademia degli Invaghiti (recently released by Routledge Press), one chapter of which is based on an article published in the 2014 volume of the Cambridge Opera Journal, as well as an edition of Marc-Antoine Charpentier's In nativitatem Domini canticum, published by Bärenreither in 2011.
