Stile concitato

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Stile concitato (rather Genere concitato[1]) or "agitated style" is a Baroque style developed by Claudio Monteverdi with effects such as having rapid repeated notes and extended trills as symbols of bellicose agitation or anger.

Kate Van Orden points out a precedent in Clément Janequin's "La Guerre" (1528).

Some examples of stile concitato can be found in the following works:

  • Claudio Monteverdi ((1567-1643)): Il Ritorno d'Ulisse in Patria
  • Claudio Monteverdi (1567-1643): L'incoronazione di Poppea
  • Claudio Monteverdi (1567-1643): Il Combattimento di Tancredi e Clorinda
  • Giacomo Carissimi (1605-1674): Jephte
  • Barbara Strozzi (1619-1677): Tradimento
