Book Translation Italian to English by Júlia Coelho
(Musicology)
DESCRIPTION:
Two early seventeenth-century music theorists, Pietro Cerone and Wolfgang Schonsleder, show by means of numerous examples the art of translating text into music. In addition to the usual imitation of actions and physical attributes, an almost complete musical vocabulary denoting affections and emotional expressions is provided to the reader. In the excerpts chosen, Schonsleder expressed a new and specifically-directed interest in the emotions related to expectation: suspense, surprise, uncertainty, and laughter. Each example is accompanied by a detailed explanation.

Júlia Coelho, "Charles Burney’s Account on
Händel’s Commemoration in 1784 on Messiah" (2015)
​
Annotated translation from English to Italian in
Händel. Il Messiah. Analisi e critica di un classico
​
(Musicology)
​
​
​
​
DESCRIPTION:
La via attraverso cui il Messiah di Händel (1741) diventò un classico della musica inglese ed europea non fu, almeno negli ambienti colti, del tutto priva di ostacoli. Le due autorevoli voci qui raccolte, quelle dello scrittore e moralista John Brown (1715-1766) e del musicista e storico della musica Charles Burney (1726-1814), rappresentano nel primo caso le perplessità, se non le antipatie nutrite soprattutto da alcuni letterati inglesi coevi verso il compositore sassone naturalizzato, nel secondo la postuma consacrazione del suo oratorio più popolare e con essa la nascita di un mito nazionale, Händel rappresentante dello spirito britannico, tuttora vivo. In appendice il libretto di Charles Jennens.
