Abstract


«La nieve arder» analyses the zarzuela Acis y Galatea, with music by José de Literes on a libretto by Antonio de Cañizares, in the context of the Petrarchan-inherited aesthetics. It focuses on the rhetorical aspects expressed both in text and music, strongly influenced by the Aristotelian tradition, and re-interpreted in several textual and musical treatises: Robortello, Herrera, Lope de Vega and, within a musical context, those by Zarlino, Caccini, Galilei, Kircher, Bermudo and Nasarre, amongst others. This article also takes into account the historical aspects relevant for the first performances of Literes and Cañizares' zarzuela, as well as the social and political circumstances which influenced the introduction of the Italian dramma per música in 17th century Spain.
