‎MUSIC IN THE ODES OF HORACE‎

‎Aris & Phillips. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 2010. Hardcover. 0856688444 . Corners very slightly bumped else book is fine. Light shelfwear to DJ. ; Viii 204pp illustrated. Following the success of Horace's Odes and the Mystery of Do-Re-Mi in which he proposed that Horace's Odes were truly carmina songs Stuart Lyons further explores the orality of the Odes in both the Augustan Age and their early medieval reception. Challenging the perception of the Odes as purely literary works and drawing on extensive evidence in Horace and other ancient sources Lyons argues that Horace's objective was to produce a unique type of performance art a Latin re-interpretation of Greek lyric song to entertain the Roman elite. In post-Carolingian manuscripts there are several instances of musical notation for the Odes. Some was to help students articulate their Latin but other notation records performance works. Lyons shows that the arrangement for the Ode to Phyllis in the Montpellier manuscript and Guido d'Arezzo's do-re-mi mnemonic share a common ancestor. The long-hidden St Petersburg codex is a virtual songbook with sixteen melodies reflecting secular as well as monastic traditions. These and other manuscripts provide persuasive evidence that Horace was sung for entertainment as well as teaching. While there is no provable link between early medieval performance and Horace's own practice Lyons argues that the Horace of the Odes was a musical innovator songwriter and entertainer as well as a literary craftsman and sang much of his lyric poetry to the accompaniment of his own lyre. With 50 illustrations 12 colour plates and a comprehensive set of indexes this book will stimulate and inform both classicists and musical historians. ; 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall; 204 pages .

‎PROMISED VERSE Poets in the Society of Augustan Rome‎

‎Harvard University Press. Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. 1993. Hardcover. 067471525X . Book is fine. DJ has very light shelfwear. ; It served a poet well indeed to have Augustus for a friend. And if Augustus were a friend of poets All the better for the great glory of Roman letters. It is this arrangement complicated by questions of influence and accommodation and simple human susceptibility to the blandishments of power that Peter White explores in "Promised Verse". Combining social history and literary interpretation this book reveals the circumstances of poetic production in the golden era of Virgil Ovid Horace Tibullus and Propertius. Peter White takes a close look at the relationship between the Augustan poets and the men of wealth and status who befriended them - and rewarded their literary efforts with money gifts and the benefits of illustrious connection. These ties - between for instance Horace and Maecenas - appear as part of an elaborate system of social conventions a system of mutual advantage to poet and patron. Within this context White also considers groups and institutions - the mysterious collegium poetarum the schools of the grammarians libraries and public recitations - that helped the poet make his way and linked him to Roman society. In Augustus we see a patron comparable in many ways to his aristocratic counterparts. The Emperor sought to promote Roman literature and yet seems to have intervened only rarely in the poetry he sponsored. Contrary to a view that has been prevalent since the eighteenth century the result was not literary propaganda. Instead White shows the public poetry created by Augustan poets was as independent and inventive as the rest of their work. ; 330 pages . Harvard University Press hardcover‎

This biography sets the historian's career and his method of dealing with his subject matter in the context of Roman society in the early Empire and draws a picture of the coherence of Suetonius's life appointments scholarship and literary activities. Seutonius is presented as a man of learning rather than as a failed narrative historian. This portrait takes account of evidence concerning his life and seeks to clarify the character of "The Lives of the Caesars" as a description of emperors and Roman imperial society by a scholarly biographer who himself was in the service of a scholarly Caesar .
