L'Orfeo is an opera from 1607, based around the legend of Orpheus and Eurydice. It is often cited as the earliest opera still regularly performed today. The libretto was written by the Italian lawyer anddiplomat Alessandro Striggio (1573-1630), for a carnival in Mantua. The music was composed by the Italian priest Claudio Monteverdi (1567-1643), arguably the greatest composer of the Renaissance era, who is bestknown for his madrigals as well as his sacred works such as the Vespers.

The Choruses From L'Orfeo have been edited by the Italian composer, musicologist and editor Gian Francesco Malipiero(1882-1973).

Diese Reihe erlaubt es, aus der Themenvielfalt der Lehrplane - je nach Interessenslage der Klasse - bestimmte Segmente intensiver und facherubergreifend zu behandeln. Um den zentralen Bezugspunkt Musik herum erscheinen Streiflichter auf allgemein bildende Facher wie Geschichte, Literatur, Kunsterziehung, u.v.a. Das Schulermaterial ist z.T. bereits ab der 5./6. Klasse einsetzbar. Mit Schulerheft, Lehrerkommentar und Horbeispiel-CD fugt dieses vielseitige Thema dem Spektrum der Unterrichtsmaterialien Erlebniswelt Musik eine weitere Farbe hinzu. Es ist spannend zu entdecken, wie sich das Genre Oper im Laufe der Jahrhunderte gewandelt hat: seit seiner Entstehung in der italienischen Spatrenaissance uber Barock, Klassik und Romantik bis in die Gegenwart. Relativ kurz hingegen war die Blutezeit der Operette. Mitte des 20. Jahrhunderts endet ihr Werdegang abrupt, doch immer noch erscheint sie auf den Spielplanen unserer Theater. Das Interesse vor allem des jungen Publikums gilt aber nun zunehmend der neuen Gattung Musical.

Monteverdi's Vespers of 1610 is a work which has both fascinated and perplexed musicologists and performers for many years. It forms by far the larger part of the composer's first significant publication of sacred music, entitled: Of the most blessed virgin a Mass for six voices for church choirs, and Vespers for more voices with several sacred concertos suitable for princely chapels or apartments. By the time this publication appeared, Monteverdi had been in the service of the Gonzaga court at MantUrauffuhrung for at least 18 years, and he was seeking a change of employment, so that the dedication of the volume to the reigning pope, Paul V, may be interpreted as a form of self-advertisement. Originally issued as an Urtext study score, the edition is based closely on the extant printed source, the set of partbooks published at Venice in 1610, and retains the original note values, key and mensuration signatures.
