Stile Antico (early Music Vocal Ensemble)
''Stile antico'' (literally "ancient style", ), is a term describing a manner of musical composition from the sixteenth century onwards that was historically conscious, as opposed to ''stile moderno'', which adhered to more modern trends. ''Prima pratica'' (Italian, 'first practice') refers to early Baroque music which looks more to the style of Palestrina, or the style codified by Gioseffo Zarlino, than to more "modern" styles. It is contrasted with ''seconda pratica'' music. These terms are synonymous to ''stile antico'' and ''stile moderno'', respectively. History ''Stile antico'' has been associated with composers of the high Baroque and early Classical periods of music, in which composers used controlled dissonance and modal effects and avoided overtly instrumental textures and lavish ornamentation, to imitate the compositional style of the late Renaissance. ''Stile antico'' was deemed appropriate in the conservative confines of church music, or as a compositional exercis ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
