As concerns the origin or, more properl3% the revival of that other branch of dramatic art, the secular drama, it is found, somewhat curiously, taking place almost si- multaneously with that of the oratorio, though quite in- dependent of the latter; and the subsequent development of both the sacred and secular dramatic and musical forms (oratorio and opera) is consequently largely identical and reciprocal.
In the house of Count Giovanni Bardi, a descendant of an illustrious old Tuscan family an
...d an ardent friend of the arts, we encounter at a somewhat later period (near the end of the sixteenth century) a circle of gifted scholars and art lovers who conceived the idea of re- viving ancient Greek tragedy — of placing the dramas of .^schylus and Sophocles on the stage again. As these tragedies called for a certain degree of musical co-opera- tion or accompaniment, it was desirable so to compose the music as to provide as close correspondence as pos- sible with the spirit of the original drama.
