About this title

Synopsis

The success of Orlando furioso in Italian musical theatre is vast and complex. This book examines the main phases of the circulation and influence of Orlando furioso on the seventeenth-century music scene by reconstructing an overall historical and critical profile, but also through the recovery and philologically verified transcription of about forty dramatic texts derived from Ariosto’s main narrative currents.

About the Author

Edward Milton Anderson (1966–2013), gifted musician and noted scholar of Ariosto, was Assistant Professor of Humanities at Rice University from 2009, when he received his doctorate in Italian from Cambridge University. A recipient of the Yale University A. Bartlett Giamatti Prize Fellowship for outstanding achievement in the humanities, he was elected President of the Graduates at St John’s College, Cambridge, for the 2003–2004 academic year, a period during which he directed Art Song & Vocal Chamber Performance at the Aspen Music Festival & School.
