Abstract EN:
This thesis has as its goal the study of the positions held by the agregate of musicians in turin between 1619, the date of the marriage between christine of france and victor amadeus i, and 1775, the year in which clothilde of france married charles emmanuel iv. Its three volumes are devoted, respectively, to the profession and the works, to the daily life and to the archival documentation. An overview of life in turin and of the musical institutions housed at the court is followed by a study of the structure of the profession, presenting, in the form of chronologically-organised entries (in the first two volumes), those aspects, known today, of the careers of the musicians. This information is arranged in the following categories: the great clans of dynasties of musicians; the "maitres de chapelle"; the organist; the singers; the "cabinet francais" of christine of france; french instrumentalists of the 17th century; their italian counterparts in the 18th century; and the dancing masters. A selection of five works, transcribed and realised in modern scores, has been made in order to illustrate turin's role in the development of the motet-cantata (montalto), the cantata (g. -a. Giay), the symphony (g. -a. Giay), the concerto (f. -s. Giay) and the grand motet (a. -s. Fiore). The second volume is dedicated exclusively to an analysis of the social position of the musicians, to their economic situation and to their religious orientations and practices. The thesis is completed by a sequence of documentary sources, drawn particularly from the archivio di stato of turin (accounts and notarial records) and the parish registers of the principal churches of the city.
