다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Ⅰ.
HENRY PURCELL (1659 - 1695 ) was the most important English composer of his time, the early Baroque period. Music composed by kin covers a wide field : the church, the state, the court and private entertainment. As far as the stage is concerned, Henry Purcells contribution was in fact modest because there was no public opera in London during his life time. Most of his theatre music consists of instrumental music and songs transformed into spoken drama.
Ⅱ.
However Henry Purcell wrote Dido and Aeneas in 1689 and it stands as the greatest operatic achievement of the English 17th century. Originally it was not composed for the public theatre but for a private girls school in Chelsea and in tended for short performances.
Ⅲ.
The libretto was written by Nahum Tate who followed faithfully common thought in 17th century England about libretto : rhymed, had short discourses, short verses of mixed length, frequent stops, frequent repititions, double rhymes (if possible) and words that emphasized vowel rather than consonant sounds.
Ⅳ.
Dido and Aeneas is divided into six scenes excluding the proloque and each scene can be Identified with a separate key area : C minor, F minor - major, D minor - major, B flat major and G minor. Following musical tradition of the English masque dating back to pre - Commonwea 1th period, Purcell used one key area for each scene and each key clearly represents a specific action. That means Purcell's sense of tonality in Dido is very secure.
Ⅴ.
After Performance at Chelsea girls school, Dido appeared in an adaptation of Shakespeare's 'Measure for Measure' in 1700. In 1704 Dido was again performed in London. After that, Dido was not performed until 1774 and 1787 when Academy of Ancient Music revived it. After Academy performances, Dido was not performed again for almost 100 years until late 19th century. However, with these 19th century performances, Dido started to make its modern reputation and the popularity of the opera grew remarkably as many editions, recording and performances were done. After 19th century revival of Dido, performances of the opera became increasingly more regular and, in 20th century, two very important performances trend appeared i.e. popularizing the opera and rejecting rewritting in favour off authenticity.
