Secular dramatic music of Johann Heinrich Schmelzer ? contribution to history of festive serenatas in the 17th century
Original language description
Schmelzer's secular dramatic music, also known as festive serenatas, constitutes a marginal part of the composer´s work, in comparison to his instrumental compositions. This fact, together with shorter extent of serenatas and its specific compositional and formal simplicity, probably caused insufficient reflection in musicological literature. All Schmelzer's serenatas represent one act vocal-instrumental works with its main reason ? to pay tribute to the honored person and present congratulation. Interestingly, in some librettos for the serenatas for Leopold I, we can find commentaries to the actual political situations, likewise in the dramatic music of Antonio Draghi or the prologues of Lully's operas. One of the aims of the lecture was to familiarize listeners with present state of research in this area, which can be covered only by selected works of Jiri Sehnal and Herbert Seifert.
