Antonio Caldara (1670–1736) was one of the most highly regarded
musicians of the early eighteenth century. As vice-Capellmeister and
favourite composer to Holy Roman Emperor Charles VI (r.1711–1740)
in Vienna, he was at the centre of European power. Here, he produced
a prodigious stream of sacred and secular music glorifying the
Emperor. Yet, under the Viennese court’s tightly regulated system,
his music was not widely disseminated, and his achievements have
until recently been eclipsed by those of his famous contemporaries
including J. S. Bach, Handel and Vivaldi. In this volume, an
international group of scholars re-evaluates Caldara’s achievement
with a particular focus on his role in the projection of Habsburg
political and cultural power. The book provides new insights into
a creative, versatile composer, the quality of whose oeuvre is now
increasingly being recognised.
