The Oratorio In Bologna, 1650-1730
This text relates the genesis and development of oratorio in Bologna to the city's religious, political, and cultural aspirations. The oratorio repertory is surveyed in three phases: under Cazzati (1657-74), Colonna (1675-95), and Perti (1696-1730). Eight oratorios are analyzed in detail.
