Musicology Annotation << Back «Per voci e strumenti musicali»: a concert in the Italian publications of secular music of the fi rst half of the XVII century Ksenia A. Nogovitsyna In article the main forms of participation of instruments in secular concert composition of early Italian baroque are considered, is emphasized that the perspective of the concept «concerto» is equally actual concerning church and secular repertoire of this era. Considering rather small degree of study of a phenomenon of a «concertato» in secular music, the author of article offers the general typology of his forms on material of the facsimile of collections of C. Monteverdi, B. Marini, G. Valentini, F. Turini and other North Italian masters of the fi rst half of the XVII century. The main types of a combination of voices and instruments which are directly refl ected in notation come to light: horizontal, which is based on alternation of pure vocal and instrumental colours, and vertical, meaning simultaneous sounding of voices and instruments and special, mixed, timbre. It is noted that the fi rst of the specifi ed types, as a rule, combined with a strophic form, is characteristic for compositions in a canzonet genre whereas the second genetically goes back to the Venetian high tradition and is modifi cation of of technics «colla parte». Tendencies to gradual transition from alternative participation of instruments (ad libitum) to obligatory instrumental parties (obbligati) in composition, to standardization of structure of instrumental ensemble (and to the statement of «a tre» ensemble for the fi rst time tested in a canzonet) and, at last, to combination in composition of two types of a vocal-instrumental writing – vertical and horizontal are traced. All these changes from the different parties refl ected process of rapprochement and hybridization of genre lines of the madrigal and a canzonet in the conditions of concertato style. Keywords: Secular concert, North Italy, Seicento, concerted madrigal, canzonet, vocal-instrumental writing, Claudio Monteverdi, Biagio Marini, Giovanni Valentini, Francesco Turini.
