Overview
Step into the dawn of the Baroque era with this exceptional collection of Scherzi musicali by the revolutionary composer Claudio Monteverdi. Originally published in Venice in 1607, these "musical jests" represent a turning point in music history, where Monteverdi began to prioritize emotional expression and text clarity through his famous seconda pratica.
This 1962 edition from Editio Musica Budapest, edited by the distinguished educator Cecília Vajda, adapts these masterful works for mixed choir with accompaniment. Featuring poetic Hungarian translations by István Raics and Zsuzsa Gál, this volume makes Monteverdi’s intricate harmonies and rhythmic vitality accessible to Hungarian-speaking ensembles, while preserving the spirited, light-hearted, and often pastoral character of the original Italian strophic songs.
Áttekintés
Lépjen be a barokk korszak hajnalába a forradalmi zeneszerző, Claudio Monteverdi: Scherzi musicali (Zenés tréfák) című gyűjteményével. Az eredetileg 1607-ben, Velencében megjelent művek sorsfordítóak a zenetörténetben; itt jelenik meg Monteverdi híres seconda pratica elve, amely az érzelmi kifejezést és a szöveg tisztaságát helyezi előtérbe.
Az Editio Musica Budapest 1962-es kiadása, Vajda Cecília értő gondozásában, vegyeskarra és kíséretre adaptálja ezeket a remekműveket. A Raics István és Gál Zsuzsa által készített művészi magyar fordítások lehetővé teszik a hazai kórusok számára, hogy átéljék Monteverdi bonyolult harmóniáit és ritmikai lüktetését, miközben megőrzik az eredeti olasz strofikus dalok játékos, pásztori jellegét.

Interesting Facts
- Musical Innovation: The Scherzi musicali are famous for their use of "hemiola"—a rhythmic device where three beats are grouped into twos, creating a distinctive "dancing" feel common in the early 17th century.
- The Editor: Cecília Vajda was a prominent Hungarian choral conductor and music educator who worked closely with Zoltán Kodály, ensuring that this edition meets the highest pedagogical and musical standards.
- The Seconda Pratica: This collection was central to a famous artistic dispute of the time; Monteverdi used these pieces to prove that music should be the "servant" of the words, allowing for more daring and expressive dissonances.
- Historical Legacy: Although called "jests," these pieces were highly influential, paving the way for the development of the modern aria and secular choral music.
