Johann David Heinichen (1683-1729) is known mainly as a theorist, and the author of the celebrated treatise Der General-Bass in der Composition (Dresden, 1728). However he also composed several musical works such as operas, serenatas, sacred music, and a considerable group of Italian Cantatas, most of them with obbligato instruments. The three cantatas presented in this critical edition feature the harpsichord in the double role of continuo and concertante instrument. In Là dove in grembo al colle, on a pastoral theme, the harpshichord part is almost a self-standing piece, rich in idiomatic figures and onomatopoeias. Ebra d’amor fuggia in on the mythological subject of Ariadne abandoned by Theseus, a most common one in the classic repertory. This text enjoined a great popularity among musicians, and was set in music by other composers. In the aria-invective Heinichen uses the obbligato harpsichord, doubled sometimes by the cello. Mia Climene adorata, is a impassioned declaration of love in which there are solo passages for keyboard, ariosi according to 17th-century style, and more modern passages in the galant style.
L’elemento connotativo delle cantate di Johann David Heinichen proposte per questa edizione è la presenza del cembalo concertante. Si tratta di Là dove in grembi al colle, Ebra d’amor fuggia e Mia Climene adorata e dovrebbero risalire al periodo trascorso da Heinichen a Venezia. Sono probabilmente legate alla sua frequentazione della cantante Angioletta Bianchi che, secondo quanto riferisce lo storico Johann Adam Hiller, apprezzava le cantate di Heinichen ed era in grado anche di eseguirne da sola la parte concertante al cembalo. Il testo della prima e della terza cantata è di argomento amoroso-pastorale, mentre quello della seconda torna sul tema, molto frequentato in ambito cantatistico, dell’Arianna abbandonata.

Abstract
Johann David Heinichen (1683-1729) is known mainly as a theorist, and the author of the celebrated treatise Der General-Bass in der Composition (Dresden, 1728). However he also composed several musical works such as operas, serenatas, sacred music, and a considerable group of Italian Cantatas, most of them with obbligato instruments. The three cantatas presented in this critical edition feature the harpsichord in the double role of continuo and concertante instrument. In Là dove in grembo al colle, on a pastoral theme, the harpshichord part is almost a self-standing piece, rich in idiomatic figures and onomatopoeias. Ebra d’amor fuggia in on the mythological subject of Ariadne abandoned by Theseus, a most common one in the classic repertory. This text enjoined a great popularity among musicians, and was set in music by other composers. In the aria-invective Heinichen uses the obbligato harpsichord, doubled sometimes by the cello. Mia Climene adorata, is a impassioned declaration of love in which there are solo passages for keyboard, ariosi according to 17th-century style, and more modern passages in the galant style.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
