Perchè turbar la calma: No. 31 from Tancredi, Act 2, Scene 17 (Vocal Score)

---

Following the discovery, the preparation of the critical edition for the Fondazione Rossini by Philip Gossett and others at the University of Chicago began in While Tancredi and Amenaide are happily reunited, he is given "an entirely new rondo in lieu of the more elaborate gran scena of the original score [16] after Tancredi learns from Argirio that her letter was written for him, and not for Solamir rather than there being a denial from Solamir.

The first two performances suffered because of vocal problems from its two female principals, but its success was assured over six performances into the following month. It was quickly re-mounted in a revised version in Ferrara in March of that year which reverted to Voltaire's tragic ending, but audiences disliked it and subsequent performances there reverted to the Venice ending, [17] with a further revisions appearing in Milan in December.

Gossett established in that, later, Rossini also participated in other revisions for performances elsewhere in Italy, including those at the Teatro Comunale di Bologna in and the Naples premiere given at the Teatro del Fondo in and again in Philip Gossett's research in states that "until about the musical text was rather fluid.

The first Ricordi edition , which differs significantly from the later ones, corresponds to the Milanese version. After an revival at the Teatro Comunale di Bologna, Tancredi was not mounted again until almost years later. With the discovery of the long-lost music for the March Ferrara revision and the resulting preparation and completion of the critical edition, the work was revived when mezzo-soprano Marilyn Horne , who had expressed interest as early as in performing the Ferrara edition if it ever came to light [19] took on the title role at the Houston Grand Opera on 13 October Horne, who quickly became strongly associated with that role, insisted on the tragic Ferrara ending, citing that it is more consistent with the overall tone of the opera and that she "did not find the happy ending convincing".

Horne's triumphant performances as Tancredi in Houston soon led to invitations from other opera houses to sing the role, and it is largely through her efforts that the opera enjoyed a surge of revivals during the latter half of the 20th century. She also recorded the role in Pier Luigi Pizzi staged a new production of Tancredi for the Rossini Opera Festival in Pesaro in [20] which originally utilised both the tragic and happy endings — the former being interpolated as a "dream sequence" for Amenaide. He also designed both costumes and scenery. The production was also revived at Pesaro in , , and The second production in Poland took place in Warsaw Chamber Opera in Barcellona sang Tancredi again in a new staging of the opera at the Teatro Regio di Torino in November after reprising the part in February at the Teatro de la Maestranza.

In addition, as part of its Rossini revivals series, it presented a fully staged production in May with Marie-Nicole Lemieux in the title role and Patrizia Ciofi as Amenaide. The production used the "unhappy" Ferrara ending, but incorporated many of the changes and reversions found in the December version for Milan.

In Teatro Nuovo presented alternating performances of the original Venetian score including the portions that have been replaced in most modern productions and a version they called Tancredi rifatto , incorporating every known substitute piece by Rossini including the aria written to replace "Di tanti palpiti".

There is both conflict and war between the Byzantine empire with which it has an unstable truce and the Saracen armies headed by Solamir, but exhausted by external war, there are internal conflicts as well. The soldier Tancredi and his family have been stripped of their estates and inheritances, and he himself has been banished since his youth. Two noble families, headed by Argirio and Orbazzano, have been warring for years and they begin to reconcile. Also present is Solamir, the Moorish general.

Argirio's daughter, Amenaide, is secretly in love with Tancredi. Prior to the beginning of the opera, she has sent him a letter without naming him in it , and it is this letter which complicates the proceedings which follow. Warring nobles Argirio, leader of the Senate in Syracuse, and Orbazzano and their men celebrate a truce and the end of a civil war: Along with Isaura and her ladies, Argirio proclaims that this unity reinforces a new security for the city against the Moorish forces led by Solamir: He names Orbazzano as the leader against the Moors.

However, Argirio warns the assembled forces against a possible greater threat, that from the banished Tancredi, a statement which disturbs Isaura. Argirio then summons his daughter, Amenaide to appear. She joins in the general songs of triumph which are expressed by the assembly, but is also disturbed by the fact that her secret beloved, Tancredi, has not rejoined her in spite of the fact that she has written a letter to him asking him to do so now that he is returning in disguise to Syracuse. The Senate, having already given Tancredi and his family's confiscated estates to Orbazzano, Argirio then offers Amenaide in marriage to him in order to help solidify the truce.

He wishes to have the ceremony performed immediately, and although she dutifully consents to the arrangement, she pleads with her father to postpone it until the following day. All leave except Isaura who laments upon the situation in which Amenaide is now placed: The garden is close to the seashore. Roggiero, then Tancredi and his men, disembark from a ship. Not having received Amenaide's letter, he pledges to help defend the city against the invaders and to seek out his beloved: Roggiero is dispatched with a message for Amenaide, and he sends his followers to spread the word that an unknown knight has arrived to help save the city.

His thoughts turn to Amenaide: When all have left, Tancredi sees Argirio and his daughter enter the garden. He hides, but can overhear their conversation. Argirio informs Amenaide and the followers who accompany them that all are invited to the wedding which will take place at noon.

The young woman pleads for more time, but is told that the ceremony must take place right away. Argirio continues by informing all that the enemy leader, Solamir, has surrounded the city, and has asked for Amenaide's hand in marriage. Orbazzano then states that he will lead the people of Syracuse against the enemy, the recent action of the Senate having condemned to death all traitors. As Argirio leaves, Amenaide immediately regrets that she has indirectly involved Tancredi by writing to him: Tancredi then appears and Amenaide tells him that he must immediately escape. Coldly, she rejects his claims of loving her, although the couple, in spite of their differences, then laments the dangerous situation in which they find themselves: People are gathered in the square for the wedding ceremony.

Argirio assures all that the new-found unity between the two factions will be strengthened by the marriage. In disguise, Tancredi appears and offers his services. Privately, he feels that Amenaide has betrayed him by accepting the marriage but, when she refuses to go ahead with it, an angry Orbazzano enters. Publicly, he denounces her and, having overheard the prior conversation, declares that the marriage will not take place. Immediately, he produces a letter, which he assumes was intended for Solamir and which appears to implicate her in a treasonous plot to overthrow Syracuse by calling upon the recipient to come and capture the city.

The assembled crowd is horrified: Amenaide swears that she is innocent, but her father denounces her, as does Tancredi. She is dragged off to prison to await death as all except her faithful Isaura proclaim: Quale infausto orrendo giorno! An angry Orbazzano reflects on Amenaide's apparent treachery and her contempt of him: She spurns me, the unworthy woman". Aside, Isaura pities Amenaide's fate, reminding Argirio that Amenaide is his own daughter: The assembled knights are divided in their emotions, and while Argirio expresses his sorrow at the turn of events, Aria: All but Isaura and Orbazzano leave.

She reproaches him for his cruelty and barbarous behaviour, and, then alone after he leaves, she pleads for divine aid for Amenaide: In chains, Amenaide enters: She cries out to Tancredi "I die for you! In the end, she believes that he will learn the truth and "he will know the constancy of my heart". Into the prison come Orbazzano and his followers, determined to see the execution carried out. But he asks if there is anyone willing to defend the traitor. Tancredi, although he still believes that his love has been betrayed and that Amenaide is a traitor, steps forward.

He challenges Orbazzano to a duel in defense of Amenaide's honor and life, and throws down his gauntlet before his adversary. Throughout the men's interchange, Amenaide urges Tancredi to prove that she is innocent.

Orbazzano embraces the unknown knight, seeking to know his identity as does Argirio who, in a duet with Tancredi, pleads: If you have pity in your heart for my sufferings, At least reveal to me who you are. Comfort me in my pain". In return, Tancredi declares "Heaven has been my enemy since my childhood. You will know who I am one day, But do not hate me About to rush off, he proclaims "To the field; I burn with glory and with fury". In another part of the prison, Amenaide learns what has transpired: From outside, a roar announces Tancredi's victory, while she declares: Tancredi arrives triumphant and the people rejoice.

However, as sweet as victory may be, he resolves to leave Sicily and, as Amenaide approaches him, he still believes that she has been unfaithful and is unwilling to talk to her. In a duet, they express their conflicting emotions: She then demands that he kill her, but both leave while Roggiero remains, having learned the truth from Isaura: S'avverassero pure I detti suoi!

But he expresses the hope that, if Amenaide is indeed innocent, then "May the torch of love return shining, smiling and fair". Alone and close to the Saracens' camp, Tancredi reflects upon his sad destiny: Through what horrors does my despair lead me? With the arrival of the knights of Syracuse along with Argirio and Amenaide, who come in search of him, Amenaide is told that peace will follow if she agrees to marry Solamir.

Tancredi defies the Saracens, expressing willingness to fight to the death: Urged to go into battle and, when all is over, Tancredi emerges victorious and learns that the dying Solamir has testified to Amenaide's innocence. In a moment of general rejoicing, the lovers are reunited: Tancredi, Agirio and Amenaide are united in expressing their joy: In regard to Rossini's innovations which appear in this, his first opera seria , the Grove Dictionary notes that they "were derived from his early one-act operas" [24] and writer Gaia Servadio notes that [the opera] marks an important stage in the development of opera through the innovations that Rossini brought.

With self-assurance and guts, he introduced changes now often taken for granted: But it is in the innovations which move away from accepted formulas and which are seen in the finale of the opera in its Ferrara edition that Philip Gossett finds the most striking in Tancredi: Gone are the coloratura flourishes; gone is a more elaborate orchestration; gone are requirements of phrase construction and cadential repetition; gone, in short, are the conventions that usually rule Italian opera. Instead, the concluding moments of the opera mirror each word of the dying hero, supported essentially by strings alone.

Additionally, we find in Gossett and Brauner an explanation of another aspect of Rossini's compositional style: Gioachino Rossini — Gioachino Antonio Rossini was an Italian composer who wrote operas, as well as some sacred music, songs, chamber music and piano pieces. A precocious composer of operas, he made his debut at the age of eighteen. His best-known operas include the Italian comedies Il barbiere di Siviglia, Litaliana in Algeri and he also wrote a string of serious operas in Italian, including works such as Tancredi, Otello and Semiramide.

The semi-serious opera La Gazza Ladra has one of Rossinis most celebrated overtures, after moving to Paris in , he eventually started to write in French. His last opera, the epic Guillaume Tell, replete with its iconic overture, after composing thirty-nine significant operas in nineteen years Rossini retired from the theatre in Later, he was affected by physical and mental illnesses and for decades wrote relatively little apart from a setting of the Stabat Mater.

A return to Paris from Italy in was followed by better health, during these, he presented salon music in the form of songs, piano pieces and small chamber ensembles that he called Sins of Old Age. He considered the last of these Sins to be the unusually scored Petite messe solennelle that he wrote in , Rossini had been the most popular opera composer in history, and he was one of the most renowned public figures of his time. A rapid and prolific composer, he was quoted as joking, Give me the laundress bill, a tendency for inspired, song-like melodies is evident throughout his scores, earning him the nickname The Italian Mozart.

Use of a build up of orchestral sound over a repeated phrase—commonly known as a Rossini crescendo—also prompted the nickname Signor Crescendo. Gioachino Antonio Rossini was born into a family of musicians in Pesaro and his father, Giuseppe, was a horn player and inspector of slaughterhouses.

His mother, Anna, was a singer and a bakers daughter, Rossinis father was sympathetic to the French Revolution and welcomed Napoleons troops when they arrived in northern Italy. When Austria restored the old regime, Rossinis father was sent to prison in , Rossinis mother took him to Bologna, making a living as leading singer at various theatres of the Romagna region.

Her husband would ultimately join her in Bologna, during this time, Rossini was frequently left in the care of his aging grandmother, who had difficulty supervising the boy. He remained at Bologna in the care of a pork butcher while his father played the horn in the orchestras of the theatres at which his wife sang and these qualities made him a subject for ridicule in the eyes of the young Rossini. He was eventually taken from Prinetti and apprenticed to a blacksmith, in Angelo Tesei, he found a congenial music master, and learned to sight-read, play accompaniments on the piano and sing well enough to take solo parts in the church when he was ten years of age.

Important products of this period are six sonate a quattro, or string sonatas, the original scores, dating from when the composer was twelve, were found in the Library of Congress in Washington D. In , he appeared at the theatre of the Commune in Ferdinando Paers Camilla and he was also a capable horn player, treading in the footsteps of his father. Voltaire — Voltaire was a versatile writer, producing works in almost every literary form, including plays, poems, novels, essays, and historical and scientific works.

He wrote more than 21, letters and over two books and pamphlets. He was an advocate of civil liberties, despite the risk this placed him in under the strict censorship laws of the time. As a satirical polemicist, he made use of his works to criticize intolerance, religious dogma. Some speculation surrounds Voltaires date of birth, because he claimed he was born on 20 February as the son of a nobleman.

By the time he left school, Voltaire had decided he wanted to be a writer, against the wishes of his father, Voltaire, pretending to work in Paris as an assistant to a notary, spent much of his time writing poetry. When his father out, he sent Voltaire to study law. Nevertheless, he continued to write, producing essays and historical studies, Voltaires wit made him popular among some of the aristocratic families with whom he mixed.

From early on, Voltaire had trouble with the authorities for critiques of the government and these activities were to result in two imprisonments and a temporary exile to England. He mainly argued for tolerance and freedom of thought. He campaigned to eradicate priestly and aristo-monarchical authority, and supported a constitutional monarchy that protects peoples rights, the author adopted the name Voltaire in , following his incarceration at the Bastille.

It is one of the most famous and renowned landmarks in the history of Italian theatre, however, the third fire was the result of arson. It destroyed the house in leaving only the exterior walls, in , the Teatro San Benedetto, which had been Venices leading opera house for more than forty years, burned to the ground. By , with interest from a number of opera lovers who wanted a spectacular new house. The house would face on one side a campo, or small plaza, however, the process was not without controversy especially in regard to the aesthetics of the building.

Some thirty responses were received and, as Romanelli accounts, Selvas was designated as the design to be constructed, the actual award for best design went to his chief rival, Pietro Bianchi. However, Selvas design and finished opera house appears to have been of high quality, construction began in June , and by May the theatre was completed. It was named La Fenice, in reference to the survival, first of the fire. But no sooner had the house been rebuilt than a legal dispute broke out between the company managing it and the owners, the Venier family.

The issue was decided in favor of the Veniers, at the beginning of the 19th century, La Fenice acquired a European reputation. Rossini mounted two major productions there, Tancredi in and Semiramide in , two of Bellinis operas were given their premieres there, I Capuleti e i Montecchi in March and Beatrice di Tenda in March Donizetti, fresh from his triumphs at La Scala in Milan and at the Teatro di San Carlo in Naples, returned to Venice in with his Belisario, in December , disaster struck again when the theatre was destroyed by fire.

However, it was rebuilt with a design provided by the architect-engineer team of the brothers, Tommaso. The interior displays a late-Empire luxury of gilt decorations, plushy extravagance, La Fenice once again rose from its ashes to open its doors on the evening of 26 December Giuseppe Verdis association with La Fenice began in , with the performance of Ernani during the carnival season. Over the next 13 years, the premieres of Attila, Rigoletto, La traviata, during the First World War, La Fenice was closed, but it reopened to become the scene of much activity, attracting many of the worlds greatest singers and conductors.

On 29 January , La Fenice was completely destroyed by fire, only its acoustics were preserved, since Lamberto Tronchin, an Italian acoustician, had measured the acoustics two months earlier. Opera — Opera is an art form in which singers and musicians perform a dramatic work combining text and musical score, usually in a theatrical setting.

In traditional opera, singers do two types of singing, recitative, a style and arias, a more melodic style. Opera incorporates many of the elements of theatre, such as acting, scenery. The performance is given in an opera house, accompanied by an orchestra or smaller musical ensemble.

Opera is a key part of the Western classical music tradition, in the 18th century, Italian opera continued to dominate most of Europe, attracting foreign composers such as George Frideric Handel. Opera seria was the most prestigious form of Italian opera, until Christoph Willibald Gluck reacted against its artificiality with his operas in the s. The first third of the 19th century saw the point of the bel canto style, with Gioachino Rossini, Gaetano Donizetti. It also saw the advent of Grand Opera typified by the works of Auber and Meyerbeer, the mid-to-late 19th century was a golden age of opera, led and dominated by Richard Wagner in Germany and Giuseppe Verdi in Italy.

The popularity of opera continued through the era in Italy and contemporary French opera through to Giacomo Puccini. During the 19th century, parallel operatic traditions emerged in central and eastern Europe, the 20th century saw many experiments with modern styles, such as atonality and serialism, Neoclassicism, and Minimalism. With the rise of recording technology, singers such as Enrico Caruso, since the invention of radio and television, operas were also performed on these mediums.

Beginning in , a number of opera houses began to present live high-definition video transmissions of their performances in cinemas all over the world. In , an opera company offered a download of a complete performance. The words of an opera are known as the libretto, some composers, notably Wagner, have written their own libretti, others have worked in close collaboration with their librettists, e.

Mozart with Lorenzo Da Ponte. Melodic or semi-melodic passages occurring in the midst of, or instead of, the terminology of the various kinds of operatic voices is described in detail below. Over the 18th century, arias were accompanied by the orchestra. Subsequent composers have tended to follow Wagners example, though some, the changing role of the orchestra in opera is described in more detail below.

Libretto — A libretto is the text used in, or intended for, an extended musical work such as an opera, operetta, masque, oratorio, cantata or musical. The term libretto is also used to refer to the text of major liturgical works, such as the Mass, requiem and sacred cantata. Libretto, from Italian, is the diminutive of the word libro, sometimes other language equivalents are used for libretti in that language, livret for French works and Textbuch for German.

A libretto is distinct from a synopsis or scenario of the plot, in that the libretto contains all the words and stage directions, while a synopsis summarizes the plot. Argirio marries the lovers in time for Tancredi to die in his wife's arms. As has been stated by Philip Gossett and Patricia Brauner, it was the rediscovery of the score of this ending in although elsewhere Gossett provides evidence that it was [5] that resulted in the version which is usually performed today. Other comedies had preceded L'occasione , but its success ensured a fifth opera for that house.

This was Il Signor Bruschino , which was presented on 27 January and which the composer wrote more-or-less parallel to preparing Tancredi , a commission for this opera having been accepted from Venice's most prestigious house, La Fenice, the previous autumn. Other treatments of the Tancredi story had been prepared, the most recent being that of Stefano Pavesi in However, many of Rossini's formal inventions, seen in his earlier one-act operas, are here incorporated with great effect and formalism.

As Gossett notes "The opera established a new formal synthesis, new compositional models, with, through, and in spite of which Italian composers were to operate. This revised version of the opera, presented a month after its Venice premiere, incorporates Voltaire's original ending.

Perchè turbar la calma: No. 31 from "Tancredi", Act 2, Scene 17 (Vocal Score)

According to Richard Osborne, the re-workings for Ferrara were not a success and "Rossini withdrew the revision and, as was his habit, redistributed some of the music in later work". Following the discovery, the preparation of the critical edition for the Fondazione Rossini by Philip Gossett and others at the University of Chicago began in While Tancredi and Amenaide are happily reunited, he is given "an entirely new rondo in lieu of the more elaborate gran scena of the original score [16] after Tancredi learns from Argirio that her letter was written for him, and not for Solamir rather than there being a denial from Solamir.

Prior to the beginning of the opera, she has sent him a letter without naming him in it , and it is this letter which complicates the proceedings which follow.
