Isabel Colbran: una soprano española en el mundo de Gioachino Rossini
Full text linkThe name of the Spanish soprano Isabel Colbran (1784-1845) is linked to Gioachino Rossini. She performed the première of ten of his operas and three cantates and got married to him in 1822. The first part of the article summarizes the highlights of her biography. In the second part, there is a study of her vocality, deepening in the always problematic theme of the classification of her voice. Finally, the article resumes the essential features of her artistic personality, including her compositions. The global objective is to contribute to the study of the theatrical view of the Italian opera in the first half of 19th Century.El nombre de la soprano española Isabel Colbran (1784-1845) permanece ligado al de Gioachino Rossini de quien estrenó diez óperas y tres cantatas y con el que contrajo matrimonio en 1822.

En la segunda, se apuntan las características distintivas de su vocalidad, incidiendo sobre la siempre problemática cuestión de la clasificación vocal de su voz. Finalmente se resumen los rasgos esenciales de su personalidad artística, incluyendo sus composiciones. El objetivo global es hacer una aportación en el terreno del estudio de la práctica teatral de la ópera italiana en la primera mitad del siglo XIX
El libreto de ópera en España como fuente para el estudio de la práctica musical: los libretos españoles de la primera mitad del siglo XIX
Full text linkThe libretti that are published on the occasion of the performances of an opera in the first half of the nineteenth century have not received much consideration as documentary sources for the investigation of musical theater. The modesty of most editions-it was a kind of practical use and publication of small form-may have contributed to its underestimation. From examples of libretti published in Spain in the first half of the nineteenth century, the paper identifies cases where the libretto allows performance practices that may contribute to other music sources.Los libretos que se publicaban con motivo de las representaciones de una ópera en la primera mitad del siglo XIX no han merecido mucha consideración como fuentes documentales para la investigación del teatro musical. La modestia de la mayoría de las ediciones -se trataba de un tipo de publicación de uso práctico y de formato reducido- puede haber contribuido a su infravaloración. A partir de ejemplos de libretos publicados en España en la primera mitad del siglo XIX, se señalan casos en los que el libreto permite documentar prácticas interpretativas en paralelo a las que pueden aportan otro tipo de fuentes musicales
Umilissimi, devotissimi servi. Correspondencia de cantantes de ópera italiana con la Duquesa de Osuna (Apuntes para el estudio de la circulación de la música y los miísicos italianos en España entre el siglo XVIII y XIX)
No full text(EN) This text brings to the fore certain matters concerning the relationship between Italian opera singers and members
of the Spanish Nobility towards the end of XVIII and the beginning of the XIX centuries, based on the example to be gleaned
from the surviving correspondence attributed to the Duquesa de Osuna. The said documentation underlines the importance of
the system of patronage and protection accorded to Italian music and musicians in the Iberian Peninsula within the framework
of the consolidation of Italian Opera in Spain. Despite the liberty enjoyed by non-Spanish musicians they were still obliged
to seek out the protection of the most noble families to be found in Spain at that time. The example shown by the Duquesa
de Osuna can be seen as emblematic in this regard. A model that could be favourably compared to other relations of patronage
and protection as practised in the rest of Europe(ES) Este trabajo plantea algunas cuestiones en torno a la relación de cantantes de ópera italiana con la nobleza española
a finales del siglo XVIII y principios del XIX, a partir del ejemplo proporcionado por la correspondencia conservada de la
duquesa de Osuna. Esta documentación pone de relieve la importancia de las relaciones de patronazgo y protección en el
entorno de la circulación de música y músicos italianos en la Península Ibérica, y en el marco de la consolidación de las representaciones
de ópera italiana en España. A pesar de la existencia de una circulación libre de músicos extranjeros, éstos seguían
necesitando de la protección de los personajes más notables de la sociedad española de la época, del que el caso la duquesa
de Osuna puede ser considerado un modelo emblemático. Modelo también equiparable al de otras relaciones de mecenazgo
y protección en el resto de EuropaPeer reviewe
Un tal Baccano in Chiesa, bel rispetto: ópera italiana en los archivos de iglesias de España: El caso de la Real Colegiata del Santo Sepulcro de Calatayud
No full textEl presente trabajo se inscribe en el marco de participación como "Investigador Contratado"
en el Proyecto de Investigación La circulación de la música y los músicos en la antigua Corona de
Aragón, 1600-1850 (PB98-0477) con cargo al Programa Sectmial de Promoción General del Conocimiento
del Ministerio de Educación y Cultura(ESP) El artículo estudia la presencia de partituras de música teatral
en los archivos eclesiásticos españoles, a partir de un ejemplo
concreto: los manuscritos de ópera italiana conservados en el
archivo de la Real Colegiata del Santo Sepulcro de Calatayud.
A través del estudio de estos manuscritos, el artículo pone de
relieve la importancia de la investigación en este tipo de archivos
para conocer la verdadera dimensión de la difusión de la
ópera en España en los siglos XVIII y XIX, incluso en localidades
"menores", que no eran grandes capitales como Madrid,
Barcelona o Zaragoza. La investigación en este terreno puede
aportar además una nueva perspectiva para abordar el estudio
del fenómeno del italianismo en la música religiosa española.(EN) This paper focus attention on the presence of theatrical
music scores preserved in Spanish ecclesiastical archives,
from the starting point of a particular example: the manuscripts
of Italian opera in the archives of the Real Colegiata
del Santo Sepulcro of Calatayud. Al! along the study
of these manuscripts, the article highlights the importance
of the research on this kind of archives, in order to better
know the real incidence of the spreading of the opera in
Spain in the 18th and 19th centuries, including "minor"
towns or relevant villages, it's to say, not outstanding cities
as Madrid, Barcelona or Zaragoza. Research in this
field can also provide a new perspective to approach the
study of the phenomenon of the ltalianism in the Spanish
religious music.Peer reviewe
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
