Abstract/Description:
This dissertation examines the interrelationship of technology, music, and social change during the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries. The analysis centers upon operas produced during these centuries beginning with the first opera of Claudio Monteverdi in 1607 and closing with the final opera of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in 1791. The historical foundation of music, technology and social change at the beginning of the Seventeenth Century will first be established. Events that directly influence this relationship will then be examined regarding their influence upon opera development. An explanation ofthe subjects of music, technology, and social change and a discussion of the interrelationships between these three topics precedes this historical analysis.
