J. S. Bach's Use Of Vocal Ornamentation, John A. Melrose
J. S. Bach's Use Of Vocal Ornamentation, John A. Melrose
Graduate Student Research Papers
In view of some misconceptions concerning the reading of these ornamental symbols, a study of how to interpret them accurately seems of value.

Bach's embellishments should obviously be treated according to Baroque practice.
Monteverdi: Characteristics Of His Operatic Style, Mallory C. Mcmanus
Monteverdi: Characteristics Of His Operatic Style, Mallory C. Mcmanus

With this emphasis on textual understanding, opera, as introduced by a group or amateur composers called the Florentine Camerata, was born. These composers wrote in a recitative style for the solo voice. Being amateurs, however, they did not possess the professional musicianship to amplify the textual implications. Therefore, Monteverdi, the trained musician, established many musical innovations still in effect.
