The aim of the course is to give the student the knowledge of aspects, moments, issues of Italian linguistic history with a specific attention to the history of music, in an overview that highlights the distinctive features of the link between language and music: a very close link and, as regards the Italian situation, secular, prestigious and distinctive. The intentions will be descriptive with a methodological training and cannot ignore the analysis of texts (literary and other) and musical compositions considered paradigmatic from various points of view.

Programme
The course will retrace the evolution of melodrama from its origins to the early 20th century, providing students with the main tools of linguistic analysis for this highly and rigidly formalized genre. The focus will be on the linguistic habits of opera librettos: on the metric-rhythmic, syntactic-textual, lexical and dramaturgical conventions. The history of the writing of the opera will also be retraced through the reading and linguistic commentary of portions of librettos produced from the 17th to the 20th century.Core Documentation
