Stile concitato
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Stile concitato or "agitated style" is a Baroque style developed by Claudio Monteverdi with effects such as having rapid repeated notes and extended trills as symbols of bellicose agitation or anger.
Kate Van Orden points out a precedent in Clément Janequin's "La Guerre" (1528).
Some examples of stile concitato can be found in the following works:
- Claudio Monteverdi (1567-1643): L'incoronazione di Poppea,
- Claudio Monteverdi (1567-1643): Il Combattimento di Tancredi e Clorinda
- Giacomo Carissimi (1605-1674): Jephte
- Barbara Strozzi (1619-1677): Tradimento
