Product Description
A riveting investigation of one of the most provocative musicians of the Renaissance, who continues to captivate composers, artists, and audiences today.In this vivid tale of adultery and intrigue, witchcraft and murder, Glenn Watkins explores the fascinating life of the Renaissance composer Carlo Gesualdo—a life suffused with scandal and bordering on the fantastical. An isolated prince, Gesualdo had a personal life that was no less eccentric and bewildering than the music he composed; his biography has often clouded our perception of his oeuvre, which music scholars have periodically dismissed as a late Renaissance deformation of little consequence.

Today, however, Gesualdo’s music, once deemed so strange as to be unperformable, stands as one of the most vibrant legacies of the late Italian Renaissance with an undeniable impact on a host of twentieth-century musicians and artists. The incendiary details of Gesualdo’s life recede, and his grip on our musical imagination comes to the fore. Watkins challenges our preconceptions of what has become a nearly mythic persona, weaving together the cumulative experience of some of the most vibrant artists of the past century from Stravinsky and Schoenberg to Abbado and Herzog.

Beyond questions of mere influence, however, The Gesualdo Hex offers a profound meditation on cultural memory and historical awareness: how composers attempt to shape the legacy they will bequeath to the world, and how music and history inevitably take on a new guise as they are revisited by subsequent generations and reinterpreted in light of contemporary experience. In examining Gesualdo’s life, music, myth, and memory intertwine with one another to reveal an uncanny affinity with our own time. With his elegant and engaging prose, Watkins asks us to grapple with our understanding not only of art and the artists who create it but also of history itself. 25 illustrations ... Read more

A wonderful read!
I was really thrilled by "The Gesualdo Hex" - a heady and enticing brew of musical scholarship, memoir and art criticism that I found totally satisfying. Watkins has, of course, already published the definitive biography of Gesaualdo ("Gesualdo: The Man and His Music") but here he goes much deeper. Some astonishing sleuthing has brought to light frankly amazing further revelations, worthy of a gothic novel or horror film. I wouldn't want to spoil these for you, but they're worth the price of admission alone. Gesualdo's weird and wonderful tale is now, thanks to Prof Watkins, more substantial and compelling than ever.
But that isn't all: Watkins also traces Gesualdo's influence on the 20th Century - this is the "hex" of the title - not only its music, but also its art and literature. For this portion of the book, Watkins becomes a player in his own drama and the book takes a fascinating "first person" left turn into memoir, as the reader finds himself sitting at a table with Stravinsky himself. The delightful sprinkling of memoir makes "The Gesualdo Hex" a reader's delight.
All in all, I can't recommend this book highly enough, for anyone with the vaguest interest in Gesualdo or Twentieth Century music and art. A superb companion and successor to Watkins' previous works.

A pick recommended for any college-level music or Renaissance history collection
THE GESUALDO HEX: MUSIC, MYTH AND MEMORY explores the life and times of Renaissance composer Carlo Gesualdo, an isolated prince who led an eccentric, isolating life and composed Renaissance music. How composers shape and create a legacy of their music and how music and history change over generations of exposure are only a few of the insights in this consideration of Gesualdo's life and times, a pick recommended for any college-level music or Renaissance history collection.

A disjointed and boring book
The story of the Renaissance composer Carlo Gesualdo might be fascinating.Unfortunately this book by Glenn Watkins is disjointed and frankly boring.Watkins tries to tell the story of Gesualdo and the affect that the music of Gesualdo has had on modern-day composers.Through the use of music and memory. He explores the late careers of a big-name composers, such as Stravinsky and Schoenberg, how they came to know Gesualdo and the affect that Gesualdo had on their late-period pieces.Watkins then attempts to delve into how Gesualdo has affected performance works and pairings of different works and other medias, such as movies, television, and art.

This books is flat and boring.Mr. Watkins claims at the beginning that this is for the average reader.It is not.If you do not know who Gesualdo is, or have a deep background in music, you will be confused and frustrated.The writing is a bore to read, and he goes too deep into Schoenberg and Stravinsky, never really explaining Gesualdo's influence until much later in the book.The book falls flat on all accounts.

Product Description
Carlo Gesualdo, Prince of Venosa, is equally celebrated as the composer of madrigals of great power and tortured complexity and as the murderer of his wife and her lover in flagrante delicto.His life and compositions are not unconnected.His neurotic sensibility found an ideal outlet in the mannerist tendencies of late Renaissance music, and his works are the most extreme examples of those tendencies.Watkins's extended study of Gesualdo's life and works was originally published in 1973.Alongside detailed analysis of Gesualdo's remarkable madrigals and of the few works in other genres, it contained much new biographical material, particularly on the latter part of the composer's life.This new edition has been extensively updated, and contains a new chapter covering the research of recent years.The preface to the first edition, by Igor Stravinsky is reprinted. ...

A gripping read with a fascinating foreword by Stravinsky
Don Carlo Gesualdo (1560 - 1613) was rich, artistic, and - as the second son of a noble Neapolitan family - free to indulge his passion for music. But disaster struck: his brother died, and it was decreed that he must carry on the line. The bride found for him - Donna Maria d'Avalos - was his cousin, and the greatest beauty in town. Older and more experienced, she had already sent two husbands to their graves -one of them according to rumor, from "an excess of connubial bliss". Don Carlo, (who may have been gay) fathered a son, whereupon he his interest wandered elsewhere to music and to hunting.One day his uncle divulged to him that his attention starved wife was enjoying a brazen affair with the handsome Duke of Andria, and that whenever possible they would "invite each other to battle on the fields of love". Alerted to the fact that Don Carlo knew about the affair, the Duke tried to persuade Donna Maria to end the affair, but she proclaimed she would sooner die. Thus was the scene set for Don Carlo's historic act.

One day in October of 1590 Don Carlo surreptitiously disabled his locks, then accounced that he would set out on a hunt only to creep back in the still of night with his henchmen. The chronicles go into salacious detail about what happened next: About the night-dress Donna Maria asked to be put out on the bed, about the maid posted as sentinel, and the sudden commotion as Don Carlo and his men broke down the doors to find the pair "in flagrante delicto di fragrante peccato", exhausted and asleep after their love-making. There were shots and multiple sword-thrusts, with Don Carlo unable convince himself the job was done until he had cut his victims to ribbons, and had personally skewered his wife to the floor, repeating to himself "I do not believe she is dead". He dragged the bodies out onto the stairs, along with a notice explaining why he'd killed them, for all the town came to gape at next morning. The Duke was still clad in a woman's night-dress, while his lover's "wounds were all in her belly, and especially in those parts which ought to be kept honest".

Neapolitans were riveted, with as many taking the lovers' side as that of their murderer. All the local poets were spurred into song, including the great Torquato Tasso, whose friendship with the protagonists inspried his tear-drenched sonnet "On the Death of Two Most Noble Lovers". Don Carlo's nobility ensured there was no trial, and he quietly withdrew to Ferrara, where he remarried, but only to find himself "assailed and afflicted by a vast horde of demons which gave him no peace unless twelve young men, whom he kept specially for the purpose, were to beat him violently three times a day, during which operation he was wont to smile joyfully."

Don Carlo built a private chapel, completed in 1592. Inside hung a painting depicting the Virgin Mary and saints all pointing to the sinner, Don Carlo, while the fires of purgatory burnt below - out of which angels pull the figures of a man and a woman. Could these be the murdered lovers before which Don Carlo implored forgiveness? His music certainly becomes filled with an obession with themes of guilt, sin, pity, and death - even the joy of love being mixed with a fascination with pain: 'dolorosa gioia', such 'joyous pain' being a typical outburst.

Never has there been a composer with a more macabre background than this, nor yet so muscially so obsessionally fascinating.

Stravinsky began his famous foreword to Glenn Watkins' biography of Gesualdo with the words "musicians may yet save Gesualdo from musicologist, but certainly the latter have had the best of it until now". Watkins makes a wonderful companion through the vertigo inducing chromatic spirals leading into the strange, visionary world of this dark genius. The entire book makes gripping reading not merely for the dark details of his biography but for the profound insights into late Renaissance to early Baroque period in which he dwelled.

So truth indeed is stranger than fiction. ... Read more

Extrait : Grand représentant, aux côtés de Luca Marenzio et Monteverdi, du madrigal italien de la Renaissance, Carlo Gesualdo, né le 8 mars (?) 1566 et mort le 8 septembre 1613, a marqué l'histoire de la musique, tant par sa vie excessive que par ses compositions, parmi les plus innovantes de cette période. Carlo Gesualdo, prince de Venosa, naquit très probablement dans la ville éponyme en 1566, au sein d'une famille aristocratique ayant des liens étroits avec l'Église - on trouve, parmi ses oncles, les archevêques Alphonso Gesualdo et saint Charles Borromée, ainsi que le Pape Pie IV parmi ses grands-oncles. Son père s'entoura d'une sorte d'académie musicale, constituée entre autres des musiciens Dentice et Filomarino, et des théoriciens Effrem, Nenna, et Macque. Carlo Gesualdo fut ainsi initié dès son plus jeune âge à la musique - notamment au luth et à la co...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ... Read more

Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Carlo Gesualdo, known as Gesualdo da Venosa (March 8, 1566 September 8, 1613), Prince of Venosa and Count of Conza, was an Italian music composer, lutenist and nobleman of the late Renaissance. He is famous for his intensely expressive madrigals, which use a chromatic language not heard again until the 19th century, and also for committing what are amongst the most notorious murders in musical history. Gesualdo was part of an aristocratic family which had acquired the principality of Venosa in 1560. His uncle was Carlo Borromeo, later Saint Charles Borromeo. In addition, Gesualdo's mother, Girolama, was the niece of Pope Pius IV. Most likely he was born at Venosa, then part of the Kingdom of Naples, but little else is known about his early life. Even his birthdate 1560, 1561 or 1566 is a matter of some dispute, though a recently discovered letter from his mother indicates he was probably born in 1566. Gesualdo had a musical relationship with Pomponio Nenna, though whether it was student to teacher, or colleague to colleague, is uncertain. At any rate, he had a single-minded devotion to music from an early age, and showed little interest in anything else. In addition to the lute, he also played the harpsichord and guitar. In addition to Nenna, Gesualdo's accademia included the composers Giovanni de Macque, Scipione Dentice, Scipione Stella, Scipione Lacorcia, Ascanio Mayone, and the nobleman lutenist Ettorre de la Marra. In 1586 Gesualdo married his first cousin, Donna Maria d'Avalos, the daughter of the Marquis of Pescara. Two years later she began to have a love affair with Fabrizio Carafa, the Duke of Andria.

Webster's bibliographic and event-based timelines are comprehensive in scope, covering virtually all topics, geographic locations and people. They do so from a linguistic point of view, and in the case of this book, the focus is on "Carlo Gesualdo," including when used in literature (e.g. all authors that might have Carlo Gesualdo in their name). As such, this book represents the largest compilation of timeline events associated with Carlo Gesualdo when it is used in proper noun form. Webster's timelines cover bibliographic citations, patented inventions, as well as non-conventional and alternative meanings which capture ambiguities in usage.
