Monteverdi

[edit]

Claudio Giovanni Antonio Monteverdi (1567–1643) was an Italian composer and choirmaster, considered a crucial transitional figure between the Renaissance and the Baroque periods of music history. Born in Cremona, he developed his career first at the court of Mantua and then until his death in the Republic of Venice where he was maestro di capella at the basilica of San Marco. Much of Monteverdi's output has been lost; his surviving music includes nine books of madrigals, large-scale sacred works such as his Vespro della Beata Vergine (Vespers) of 1610, and three complete operas. His opera L'Orfeo (1607) is the earliest of the genre still widely performed. While he worked extensively in the tradition of earlier Renaissance polyphony, he undertook great developments in form and melody, and began to employ the basso continuo technique, distinctive of the Baroque. He defended his sometimes novel techniques as elements of a seconda pratica, contrasting with the more orthodox earlier style which he termed the prima pratica. Largely forgotten during the eighteenth and much of the nineteenth centuries, Monteverdi's works enjoyed a rediscovery around the beginning of the 20th century, and he is now established as a significant influence in European musical history.

Leslie Hylton blurb

[edit]

Leslie Hylton was a West Indian Test cricketer of the inter-war years who in the 1950s was hanged for murder after shooting his wife in a jealous rage. Hylton, from a background in the lowest stratum of Jamaican society, overcame many obstacles to reach the Test side, and his international career was belated and brief. Although the circumstances of his crime created a certain degree of public sympathy for Hylton at the time, the cricket world turned its back on him and largely ignored his contribution to the game, so that he is scarcely acknowledged in cricket histories. Hylton's actions can't be excused, but one can't help feeling that his crime passionnel might have been viewed differently had he come from a higher social background. A sad story indeed. Thanks to the talk-page reviewers who helped me to put the article together.

Sources reviews

[edit]

I'm glad to say that my most recent bleat asking for more participation in FAC sources (18 August) has had some effect. In the April–August 2019 period, I carried out 71% of the 143 source reviews on completed nominations. In September/October my "share" fell to just half that. Many thanks for this – it enables me to spend more of my WP time on more interesting things. Long may the trend continue.

About 18 months ago I posted an essay offering guidance to editors on conducting FAC source reviews. This was added to and improved by User:SlimVirgin – it's still here, although its recent page viewing history (average 1 per day) is not encouraging. In the hope that it might help further, I'm leaving a simplified version of the Guide on my sandbox, here. Note, too, that there's always help available if you need it – just post your query on my talkpage.

I name the guilty ones
