Antonio Caldara (1670–1736) was one of the most highly regardedmusicians of the early eighteenth century. As vice-Capellmeister andfavourite composer to Holy Roman Emperor Charles VI (r.1711–1740)in Vienna, he was at the centre of European power. Here, he produceda prodigious stream of sacred and secular music glorifying theEmperor. Yet, under the Viennese court’s tightly regulated system,his music was not widely disseminated, and his achievements haveuntil recently been eclipsed by those of his famous contemporariesincluding J. S. Bach, Handel and Vivaldi. In this volume, aninternational group of scholars re-evaluates Caldara’s achievementwith a particular focus on his role in the projection of Habsburgpolitical and cultural power. The book provides new insights intoa creative, versatile composer, the quality of whose oeuvre is nowincreasingly being recognised.
