Aminta by
Torquato Tasso(
Book
)
400 editions published between 1580 and 2017 in 15 languages and held by 2,050 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Messa in scena per la prima volta nel 1573 per la corte ferrarese degli Estensi, la "favola boscareccia" di Torquato Tasso racconta la storia d'amore tra il pastore Aminta e la ninfa Silvia, tra fughe ed equivoci che prendono forma in un mondo pastorale mitico ma cosparso di riferimenti a signori e letterati del Cinquecento italiano. Protagonista di un immediato successo in Italia e in Europa, l'opera viene qui presentata in una nuova edizione commentata a cura di Marco Corradini, che nell'analisi introduttiva svela le tensioni nascoste sotto la superficie armoniosa del verso ed esamina la profonda influenza dell'"Aminta" sulla poesia e il teatro rinascimentali. Al punto che la favola fu "elevata subito a modello" e impresse così "un corso inedito allo svolgimento del genere drammatico pastorale"

The liberation of Jerusalem (Gerusalemme liberata) by
Torquato Tasso(
)
18 editions published in 2009 in English and held by 1,235 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"In The Liberation of Jerusalem (Gerusalemme liberata, 1581), Torquato Tasso set out to write an epic to rival the Iliad and the Aeneid. Unlike his predecessors, he took his subject not from myth but from history: the Christian capture of Jerusalem during the First Crusade. The siege of the city is played out a longside a magical romance of love and sacrifice, in which the Christian knight Rinaldo succumbs to the charms of the pagan sorceress Armida, and the warrior maiden Clorinda inspires a fatal passion in the Christian Tancred." "Tasso's masterpiece left its mark on writers from Spenser and Milton to Goethe and Byron, and inspired countless painters and composers. This is the first English translation in modern times that faithfully reflects both the sense and the verse form of the original. Max Wickert's fine rendering is introduced by Mark Davie, who places Tasso's poem in the context of his life and times and points to the qualities that have ensured its lasting impact on Western culture."--Jacket

3 editions published between 2011 and 2013 in English and held by 733 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
The manuscripts scores contained in this collection further extend knowledge about Meyerbeer's non-operatic compositions-instrumental, choral and occasional. These totally unknown works by a great operatic master range from a substantial cantata in the style of a dramatic monologue (for tenor solo with chorus and brass orchestra), through a brassy celebratory processional march, to a brief unaccompanied chorus of welcome. All the pieces are linked by their association with the various Germa
