Abstract

The article deals with two genres of Italian vocal music of the beginning of the 17th century: the duet and the dialogue. The preconditions of their emergence and stylistic differences are revealed based on the principles of expressing poetic texts in music. This difference manifests itself most fully in the harmonic solution of a vocal piece, so special attention is paid to both the poetic text and its musical expression; in so doing, certain regularities of the musical-poetic formal structure are revealed, illustrated by analytical essays as exemplified by two vocal pieces of the stated time period.
