Bononcini’s La decollazione was first performed during Lent of 1709 in the chapel of Emperor Joseph I in Vienna. The rather sober scoring of La decollazione for strings and continuo might be explained by the Lenten presentation, but the vocal and instrumental demands of the piece fully exploited the brilliance of the Viennese musicians, and their skill in opera. At the same time, Bononcini integrated his skills in counterpoint, normally associated with sacred music, throughout the work so that it presents as both worldly and spiritual. This contrapuntal severity can be heard in the orchestral Introduction, the closing Coro Muore il giusto, sung by the 5 soloists, and several of the arias, particularly St John’s Bacio l’ombre, set in the dark key of F minor. The role of St John is sung by an alto, a vocal register often used for heroes in baroque opera, when they were performed by castrati with powerful lungs. The morally weak Herod is sung by a bass, while Herodias and Salome would both have been sung by soprano castrati representing women, and are given music that is especially sensuous in style. The duet Rieda pure sung by Herod and Herodias early in the piece would be an effective love duet in any opera of the time, and yet is also impressively contrapuntal, interlocking the lovers in the ways of earlier Italian madrigals. Bononcini employs the convention of the da capo aria throughout the oratorio, but writes out the return of the A sections rather than using the shorthand of DC. However, at the dramatic turning point in the story, where Salome is singing the solo De la palme and we presume is dancing for the guests, Herod cuts her off with his passionate recitative Non più, deh cessa before she has even completed the B section. After that, he begins his offer of granting her a wish. While this break with musical convention might seem like a small thing today, in Bononcini’s time, it was a very unusual and vivid depiction of Salome’s erotic power and Herod’s weakness.
