Abstract

Clasicismo e imitación compuesta: las odas de Bernardo Tasso en su contexto
The aim of this paper is to study the first Italian odes based on Horatce’s model reconsidering their role within the orthodox petrarchism delineated by Pietro Bembo. To this purpose, BernardoTasso’s 55 odes (1534-1560) and 30 psalmos (1560) will be analyzed using the concept of imitación compuesta and stressing the evolution from prophane to religious poetry. The choice of BernardoTasso is justified not only by the fact that he is one of the first Italian petrarchists to imitate Horace, but also by the fact that the metric formula he invented, the lira, was used by Garcilaso de la Vega becoming, in Spain, the model for moral and sacred poetry, a process started by Tasso. In the appendix an alphabetic list of the texts with printing dates and information about their musical transpositions will be provided, together with a list of the odes classified according to their metric schemes.
