| Abstract | This dissertation focuses on the symbolism of the Goddess Fortuna in the Italian song, Fortuna desperata and its re-workings. Chapter 1 presents a history of the Goddess, establishing a culture of iconography and symbolism leading up to the Renaissance. The first part of Chapter 2 discusses the song, Fortuna desperata, in detail, presenting observations on historical relevance, textual discrepancies, and song analysis. The second part of Chapter 2 addresses the Fortuna desperata re-workings and mass settings. Chapter 3 is organized as a guideline for identifying musical devices associated with symbolic aspects of the Goddess Fortuna. Chapter 4 discusses the symbolic implications associated with combinative and contrafacta texts. The study reveals a consistent pattern of musical devices and symbolic allusions associated with Fortuna. |
