Shadow Voices, Castrato and Non --Acknowledgments --Abbreviations --Notes --Bibliography --Illustrations --IndexThe Castrato is a nuanced exploration of why innumerable boys were castrated for singing between the mid-sixteenth and late-nineteenth centuries. It shows that the entire foundation of Western classical singing, culminating in bel canto, was birthed from an unlikely and historically unique set of desires, public and private, aesthetic, economic, and political. In Italy, castration for singing was understood through the lens of Catholic blood sacrifice as expressed in idioms of offering and renunciation and, paradoxically, in satire, verbal abuse, and even the symbolism of the castrato's comic cousin Pulcinella. Sacrifice in turn was inseparable from the system of patriarchy-involving teachers, patrons, colleagues, and relatives-whereby castrated males were produced not as nonmen, as often thought nowadays, but as idealized males. Yet what captivated audiences and composers-from Cavalli and Pergolesi to Handel, Mozart, and Rossini-were the extraordinary capacities of castrato voices, a phenomenon ultimately unsettled by Enlightenment morality. Although the castrati failed to survive, their musicality and vocality have persisted long past their literal demise.Ernest Bloch lectures.Castrati16th century practices.bel canto.bodily mutations.castrated for music.castrated males.castrated singers.castrati and eunuchs.castrati musicians.castrati vocalists.castrati.castration.castrato voices.castrato.catholic blood sacrifice.cavalli.eunuch singers.handel.high male voices.historical body mutations.history of castration.history of music.history of singing.mozart.music history.music.nonsexual castration.pergolesi.pulcinella.rossini.Castrati.782.8/6Feldman Martha27650MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910819177503321The castrato4006464UNINA
