Abstract

Barok Dönem İtalyan opera aryaları, bestelendikleri dönemde zengin bir repertuvar oluşturmuş ve günümüze kadar ulaşarak klasik müzik tarihinde önemli bir yer edinmiştir. Bu çalışmada, İtalyan operasında ortaya çıkan arya formunun Erken, Orta ve Geç Barok Dönem’deki gelişim süreci incelenmiştir. Araştırmada da capo arya formunun özellikleri ve Barok Dönem’deki arya söyleme stilleri hakkında bilgi verilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Verilerin toplanmasında literatür taraması yapılarak nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden doküman analizi kullanılmıştır. Çalışma kapsamında Barok Dönem boyunca arya formunun gelişiminde bestecilerin ve farklı opera ekollerinin etkisi açıklanmıştır. Yapılan incelemede, erken dönem opera aryalarının konuşma tarzında icra edildiği ve metnin ön plânda tutulduğu görülmüştür. Bu süreçte, arya ve reçitatif arasındaki farklar belirginleştikçe, arya söyleme stillerinin sınıflandırıldığı ve sanatçıların doğaçlama yeteneklerini sergiledikleri arya türlerinin ortaya çıktığı anlaşılmıştır. Barok Dönem’in sonunda, form olarak en olgun hâline kavuşan da capo aryaları, İtalyan operalarının müzikal yapısına önemli bir katkı sağlamıştır.

The Development Process of the Aria Form in Italian Opera in the Baroque Period

Abstract

Baroque Italian opera arias created a rich repertoire in the period in which they were composed and have survived to the present day, occupying an important place in the history of classical music. In this study, the development process of the aria form that emerged in Italian opera in the Early, Middle and Late Baroque Periods was examined. The aim of the study was to provide information about the characteristics of the da capo aria form and the aria singing styles in the Baroque Period. In the collection of data, a literature review was conducted and document analysis, a qualitative research method, was used. Within the scope of the study, the influence of composers and different opera schools on the development of the aria form during the Baroque Period was explained. In the examination, it was seen that early opera arias were performed in the spoken style and the text was kept in the foreground. In this process, as the differences between aria and recitative became clear, it was understood that aria singing styles were classified and aria types emerged in which artists demonstrated their improvisational skills. At the end of the Baroque Period, da capo arias, which reached their most mature form, made an important contribution to the musical structure of Italian operas.
