“Variatio delectate” (”varying is pleasing”) – this quotation from the pen of the Roman philosopher and politician Marcus Tullius Cicero hits the nail on the head as to what composition features; it applies not only to works entitled variations due to their form, technique and dramaturgy. But elegies are also subject to variation; already in ancient times, they were not only songs of mourning and longing, but also hymns of praise to wine. The variation spectrum of cantilenas is still broader, if we concur with the Venetian music theorist Gioseffo Zarlino, who in 1558 in his treatise “Le Istitutioni harmoniche” defined each and every (!) kind of music as cantilena – only outdone by the thesis of Yehudi Menuhin that singing is the actual mother tongue of mankind. |
