Monteverdi bestrode the musical eras we call Renaissance and Baroque, and was the first composer to develop opera to its full dramatic and musical potential. Monteverdi�s revolutionary innovations have influenced 20th century composers like Igor Stravinsky, while foreshadowing the modern idea of the song. Born in Cremona in 1567, Monteverdi composed a book of madrigals by the time he was 17. At age 24, he became a musician in the court of Mantova, where he eventually became music director. By his mid-40s, he would be the most celebrated composer in Italy. Meanwhile, around the year 1600, a group of Florentine intellectuals introduced their fledgling concept of opera, an imitation of ancient Greek drama. In 1607, Monteverdi took this rudimentary approach and turned it on its head with, arguably, the first true opera, �L�Orfeo.� His revolutionary debut defied all existing musical convention.

Monteverdi, Claudio Monteverdi, Claudio Period: Renaissance Born: Monday, May 15, 1567 in Cremona, Italy Died: Sunday, November 29, 1643 in Venice, Italy Nation of Origin: Italy CLICK HERE for CDs of this composer. CLICK HERE for Books about this composer. CLICK HERE for Sheet Music by this composer. Major Works: Madrigals: Cruda Amarilli Book VIII (Madrigals of War and Love): Hor che'l ciel e la terra Combattimento di Tancredi e Clorinda Operas: Orfeo Vi ricorda o boschi ombrosi In un fiorito prato Arianna: Lament Il ritorno d'Ulisse L'Incoronazione di Poppea Vespers Mass: In illo tempore Other Information: Although a birthdate is not known, Monteverdi was baptized on May 15, 1567. He was among the first of the Ars Nova composers. The development of Monteverdi's style can be easily seen in his madrigals. The early ones (Books 1-4) are in the old Renaissance contrapuntal style of four equal voices, but after 1603 (Book 5) he began to write madrigals with an added basso continuo part and an exalted soprano part. Books 6-9 mix the basso continuo/homphonic/concertato style with the old contrapuntal style. In Book 7 he used a Romanesca and other ground bass forms like the chaconne and passacaglia. Book 8 contains his Madrigal of War and Love which displays a range of human passions in the stile concitato (agitated style of repeated 16th notes, tremelo, rapid scale passages, pizzicato, dotted rhythms, no bel canto but more like recitative in style).
