In questa sezione presentiamo dei testi che derivano dall' esperienza della Scuola estiva di musica e filosofia di Maratea.

Sono ospitati gli interventi dei docenti intervenuti alle sette edizioni della scuola di Maratea i cui titoli è possibile consultare nel link arte musica e filosofia a Maratea.

Avvertiamo che i testi non sono tutti e cercheremo via via di completare le sezioni di lavoro chiedendo ai docenti di mandare il testo scritto.

In questo spazio cercheremo di ospitare anche gli interventi dei borsisti di Maratea, giovani studiosi che hanno frequentato attivamente i corsi estivi.

In this section we present texts dealing with the visual dimension of music ranging from iconography to the iconology of musical instruments, from scenery to contemporary music performances where the relationship between sound and vision, music and image is really important.

Particular attention is paid to the role of music in the history of show from melodrama to music hall, from dance to theatre.

Even the musicology magazine “Sonus-Material per la musica moderna e contemporanea” founded in 1989 collaborates on this section.

Starting from the cues taken from the magazine and trying to collect even texts not strictly connected to it, we present a section devoted to contemporary music aimed to outline main aspects and unexpected changes. We also take into consideration personal texts providing new points of view for the ones, no matter if there are just a few or many of them, who want to have much more information on Visual Music.

The fact that a magazine dealing with visual art images also includes a musical section doesn’t necessarily obligate us but lead us to focus on subjects considering music as a performing art. Particular attention is paid to dramaturgy as regards sound, space and setting. Even subjects such as scenery and staging of operas and mainly the works of great masters, the development of scenic technique, the lights and the performing dimension of characters on the stage will be taken into consideration.
