The rhetoric of affections: a literary and musical analysis of the cantata Arianna from Alessandro Scarlatti
The article discusses the relation between text and music based on the comprehension of the musical and literary practices of the baroque era. The starting point of the paper is the cultural context of Italy in the XVII and XVIII centuries, and the role of classical rhetoric and the doctrine of affections in this period. From this theoretical outline it follows an analysis of the cantata Arianna by Alessandro Scarlatti (1660-1725) in order to show the relation between these two practices. The article concludes by pointing out the need to undertake interdisciplinary studies that integrate the literary and music analysis in order to bring to fore the complexity of the vocal music in this period.
