Equestrian ballets (balletti a cavallo) emerged as valued dramatic entertainments in early modern Europe, demonstrating the wealth and magnificence of the patrons who commissioned them as well as the horsemanship and military skills of the noblemen who rode in them. Author Kelley Harness undertakes the first comprehensive study of seventeenth-century Florentine horse ballets and shows how the balletto a cavallo played a crucial role in self-fashioning by the Medici family during the period. Horse ballets also provided participating noblemen a venue for demonstrating critical markers of masculine nobility and confirming their family's relationship to the Medici.
Kelley Harness specializes in Florentine music and theater of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, situating the works she studies within broader social and artistic contexts. Much of her past scholarship has focused on women's patronage, including her book Echoes of Women's Voices: Music, Art, and Female Patronage in Early Modern Florence and articles dealing with musical representations of biblical women such as Judith and Saint Mary Magdalene. She is a past Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Seventeenth-Century Music and is a member of the musicology faculty at the University of Minnesota.
