| Summary |
"In the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries numerous large, festive cantatas identified as serenatas were heard in performance in Rome. Performances of these multivoice, orchestrally accompanied works, typically out-of-doors during summer months, took place in public spectacles celebrating important diplomatic or dynastic events, as well as private events honoring special occasions and personages. Among Alessandro Scarlatti's nineteen surviving works in this genre, Venere, Amore e Ragione alone includes dancing in its action, as three instrumental balli follow an exhortation to dance. Other aspects of the score suggest French influences, while Silvio Stampiglia's libretto indicates Arcadian associations. The plot concerns an allegorical dispute between Venus and Reason over the conduct of Cupid, who ultimately persuades Venus of the virtues of following Reason's guidance. The eleven arias, duet, and two trios resemble those of Scarlatti's pastoral operas and cantatas in their lyricism, brevity, and simplicity." -- Provided by publisher. |
