Summary:

"Eumelio, dramma pastorale was composed and performed in Rome for Carnival in 1606 at the Collegium Germanicum et Hungaricum, Rome's Jesuit seminary. The work is the only music drama from the first decade of the seventeenth century that survives intact but never previously enjoyed a modern edition. Alongside the more well-known Orpheus dramas, Eumelio is an important witness to the influence of Jesuit drama on the development of Italian monody and, more broadly, to the early history of opera." -- Provided by publisher.
