To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" Metastasio was, in conse- quence, invited to the Imperial Court (1729) to fill the proud position of " Poeta Cesareo, " with the offer of an animal salary of three thousand florins. His first composition at Vienna was the oratorio of " S. Elena al Calvario, " a sacred drama on " The Invention of the Cross, " 4 set to music by Caldara, and represented in the Imperial Chapel during the Holy Week 1731. In this, as in all of his sacred dramas, there are many beau- til'ul passages. 5 Those taken f...rom the Old Testament are " Giuseppe riconosciuto, " 6 "I/ Isaaco, " 7 "La Morte d' Abele, Gioas, " 8 in which he is said to have borrowed some ideas from Racine's "Athalie. " That from the New Testament, for the "Santissirno Natale, " recalls some of the varied and beautiful ideas of Milton's " Ode on the Nativity. " In that same year he composed "L 1 Olim- piade" and " II Demofoonte, " two of his masterpieces, written in the best period of his second manner, showing more precision and simplicity in the dialogue, a greater sobriety of narration, and a combination of vigour and delicacy in the ariette.
