One of music’s true pioneers, the immense fame of Giulio Caccini felt both he was alive and hundreds of years after his death can be attributed to his ingenuity and development of monody. This new style of singing, involving an expressive and evocative melody with the accompaniment of a bass line to be realised with simple harmony by the player, was inspired by Greek tragedy, which was believed to be entirely sung. It was developed in the last quarter of the 16th century by the Camerata Fiorentina, of which Caccini was a member, and would lead to the birth of opera. This new style reached maturity in Caccini’s crowning work, his Nuove Musiche, the first publication to display this new way of writing. This invaluable document provides instructions not only on the purpose, intent and correct performance of monody from the time, but also included musical examples of ornaments – for example, how a specific passage can be ornamented in several different ways, according to the precise emotion that the singer wishes to convey.
It is impossible to ignore the direct influence Caccini had on the generations to follow, and we see a clear example of his legacy with his daughter, Francesca Caccini, also nicknamed La Cecchina. An accomplished musician in her own right, Francesca established herself as a singer, poet, lutenist and music teacher. Her only surviving stage work, La liberazione di Ruggiero (1625), is thought to be the oldest opera written by a woman.
The fame of Caccini’s compositions was in no way limited to Italy. Amarilli mia bella, for instance, was famous throughout the whole of Europe and even was published in Robert Dowland’s Musical Banquet with a harmonic realisation of the continuo

English

Celebrato ancora oggi come pioniere della monodia, Giulio Caccini si ispirava alla tragedia greca quando, alla fine del Cinquecento, nell’ambito della Camerata Fiorentina, promosse un nuovo stile vocale basato su un’unica linea melodica accompagnata da una linea di basso armonizzata da un musicista e ponendo le basi per la nascita del teatro musicale. Caccini condusse questo stile alla maturità nelle sue Nuove Musiche, una raccolta pubblicata a Firenze nel 1602, contenente anche interessanti istruzioni sulla prassi esecutiva del tempo ed esempi che illustrano come realizzare l’ornamentazione in vari modi in funzione dell’impatto emotivo che la voce avrebbe dovuto suscitare.
Non è possibile ignorare l’influenza che Caccini ebbe sulle generazioni a venire, e in particolare su sua figlia, Francesca, detta La Cecchina. Cantante, poetessa, liutista e insegnante di musica, Francesca è autrice di un lavoro teatrale, La liberazione di Ruggiero (1625), ritenuta una delle prime opere di teatro musicale scritte da una donna.
La fama di Caccini si estese ben oltre l’Italia: Amarilli mia bella, per esempio, era conosciuta in tutta Europa e fu ripresa da Robert Dowland, figlio di John, nel suo Musical Banquet, dove è pubblicata con una realizzazione armonica della linea del basso continuo.
