The Historical Performance movement began as a revolution: a reimagining of musical conventions, a rediscovery of instruments, techniques, and artworks that inspire and teach us, and a celebration of diversity in repertoire. It is also a conversation with the past, a past whose legacy of racism and colonialism has silenced and excluded too many voices from being heard. We do not seek simply to recreate what might have been but to imagine what should be. We embrace Juilliard's values of equity, diversity, inclusion, and belonging through voices heard anew and historical works presented with empathetic perspectives, and we reject discrimination, exclusion, and marginalization. We recognize that we study and work on the traditional homeland of those who preceded us (see Juilliard's land acknowledgement statement, below).

  • What Handel Taught the Viennese About the Trombone
    291 What Handel Taught the Viennese about the Trombone David M. Guion Vienna became the musical capital of the world in the late eighteenth century, largely because its composers so successfully adapted and blended the best of the various national styles: German, Italian, French, and, yes, English. Handel’s oratorios were well known to the Viennese and very influential.1 His influence extended even to the way most of the greatest of them wrote trombone parts. It is well known that Viennese composers used the trombone extensively at a time when it was little used elsewhere in the world. While Fux, Caldara, and their contemporaries were using the trombone not only routinely to double the chorus in their liturgical music and sacred dramas, but also frequently as a solo instrument, composers elsewhere used it sparingly if at all. The trombone was virtually unknown in France. It had disappeared from German courts and was no longer automatically used by composers working in German towns. J.S. Bach used the trombone in only fifteen of his more than 200 extant cantatas. Trombonists were on the payroll of San Petronio in Bologna as late as 1729, apparently longer than in most major Italian churches, and in the town band (Concerto Palatino) until 1779. But they were available in England only between about 1738 and 1741. Handel called for them in Saul and Israel in Egypt. It is my contention that the influence of these two oratorios on Gluck and Haydn changed the way Viennese composers wrote trombone parts. Fux, Caldara, and the generations that followed used trombones only in church music and oratorios.

  • Nicholas Mcgegan Principal Guest Conductor
    Nicholas McGegan Principal Guest Conductor As he embarks on his fourth decade on the podium, Nicholas McGegan — long hailed as “one of the finest baroque conductors of his generation” (London Independent) and “an expert in 18th- century style” (The New Yorker) — is recognized for his probing and revelatory explorations of music of all periods. In 2015, Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra celebrates his 30th year as music director and he is also Principal Guest Conductor of the Pasadena Symphony. McGegan has established the San Francisco-based Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra and Philharmonia Chorale as one of the world’s leading period-performance ensembles, with notable appearances at Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, the London Proms, the Amsterdam Concertgebouw, and the International Handel Festival, Göttingen. PBO’s 2015/16 season sees the orchestra returning to Carnegie Hall for a performance of Scarlatti’s La Gloria di primavera, in addition to tours of the piece in California’s Bay Area and Quebec. As a guest conductor, McGegan’s 15/16 season features appearances with the Los Angeles Philharmonic (with which he has appeared annually for nearly 20 years), St. Louis, Baltimore, BBC Scottish, RTÉ National, and New Zealand Symphonies; the Cleveland Orchestra/Blossom Music Festival; and the Orchestra of St. Luke’s at Caramoor and Carnegie Hall. Throughout his career, McGegan has defined an approach to period style that sets the current standard: intelligent, infused with joy, and never dogmatic. Under his leadership Philharmonia Baroque continues to expand its repertoire into the Romantic Era and beyond. Calling the group’s recent recording of the Brahms Serenades “a truly treasurable disc,” James R.

  • Cimarosa Domenico
    CIMAROSA DOMENICO Compositore italiano (Aversa, 17 XII 1749 - Venezia, 11 I 1801) Gioventù e formazione musicale 1 Nacque ad Aversa il 17 dicembre del 1749, città che aveva dato i natali anche a Nicolò Jommelli, un altro grande editore della scuola napoletana. Alla tenera età di quattro anni dovette lasciare la sua città natale per recarsi con la famiglia a Napoli. Andarono a vivere presso la chiesa di San Severo de' Padri Conventuali. Era figlio di Gennaro Cimarosa, un muratore occupato nella costruzione del Palazzo di Capodimonte, il quale durante la costruzione s'infortunò a morte a causa di una caduta. Sua madre invece era occupata come lavandaia nel monastero vicino alla chiesa. Fu proprio in questo ambiente che il giovane Domenico ricevette i primi rudimenti musicali dall'organista del monastero padre Polcano. Dimostrò subito di avere molte doti per la musica tant'è che nel 1761 fu ammesso al Conservatorio di Santa Maria di Loreto, dove rimase undici anni. I suoi insegnanti furono Gennaro Manna (all'epoca ritenuto il miglior insegnante dopo Alessandro Scarlatti), Antonio Sacchini (fino al 1766) e Fedele Fenaroli (il quale diede a Cimarosa lezioni di contrappunto). In pochi anni divenne un abile violinista, clavicembalistica ed organista, nonché un talentuoso cantante: i suoi compagni lo stimavano e lo ascoltavano con delizia mentre interpretava pezzi d'opera con bella voce, con grazia e con soavità; tra questi si ricordano Nicola Antonio Zingarelli e Giuseppe Giordani. Egli era caratterialmente mite ed abile, oltre che studioso e diligente. Dopo aver lasciato il conservatorio si perfezionò nel canto con il castrato Giuseppe Aprile e nella composizione con Nicolò Piccinni.

Introduction to Focus 2020 by Joel Sachs The seed for this year’s Focus Festival was planted in December 2018 at a Juilliard doctoral recital by the Chilean violist Sergio Muñoz Leiva. I was especially struck by the sonata of Rebecca Clarke, an Anglo-American composer of the early 20th century who has been known largely by that one piece, now a staple of the viola repertory. Thinking about the challenges she faced in establishing her credibility as a professional composer, my mind went to a group of women in that period, roughly 1885 to 1930, who struggled to be accepted as professional composers rather than as professional performers writing as a secondary activity or as amateur composers.

  • NEWSLETTER of the American Handel Society
    NEWSLETTER of The American Handel Society Volume XVIII, Number 1 April 2003 A PILGRIMAGE TO IOWA As I sat in the United Airways terminal of O’Hare International Airport, waiting for the recently bankrupt carrier to locate and then install an electric starter for the no. 2 engine, my mind kept returning to David Lodge’s description of the modern academic conference. In Small World (required airport reading for any twenty-first century academic), Lodge writes: “The modern conference resembles the pilgrimage of medieval Christendom in that it allows the participants to indulge themselves in all the pleasures and diversions of travel while appearing to be austerely bent on self-improvement.” He continues by listing the “penitential exercises” which normally accompany the enterprise, though, oddly enough, he omits airport delays. To be sure, the companionship in the terminal (which included nearly a dozen conferees) was anything but penitential, still, I could not help wondering if the delay was prophecy or merely a glitch. The Maryland Handel Festival was a tough act to follow and I, and perhaps others, were apprehensive about whether Handel in Iowa would live up to the high standards set by its august predecessor. In one way the comparison is inappropriate. By the time I started attending the Maryland conference (in the early ‘90’s), it was a first-rate operation, a Cadillac among festivals. Comparing a one-year event with a two-decade institution is unfair, though I am sure in the minds of many it was inevitable. Fortunately, I feel that the experience in Iowa compared very favorably with what many of us had grown accustomed Frontispiece from William Coxe, Anecdotes fo George Frederick Handel and John Christopher Smith to in Maryland.

Haydns Opern in ihrer Zeit und heute sind das Thema dieses ersten Vortrages. Mit ihm möchte ich versuchen, einen kurzen Überblick über Haydns Opernschaffen zu geben, einerseits in historischer Hinsicht, andererseits in Betrachtung der neueren Entwicklungen. Haydns Opernschaffen ist nach den Forschungen und Veröffentlichungen der letzten Jahrzehnte gut überschaubar; Umfang, Gliederung und zeitlicher Verlauf dieses Schaffens lassen sich mit klaren Linien skizzieren. (Vgl. die Tabelle.) Es erstreckte sich über einen Zeitraum von vier Jahrzehnten: von 1751/52 bis 1791. Schauplätze der Uraufführungen waren zuerst Wien, dann Eisenstadt und Esz­ terhäza. Die letzte Oper entstand in London. Den Werkgattungen nach gliedert sich Haydns Opernschaffen in die Gruppe der deutschen Singspiele, mit gespro­ chenen Dialogen, meist in der Sonderform der Marionettenoper, wobei unter lauter heiteren Singspielen ein ernstes vorkommt, und in die Gruppe der italie­ nischen Opern. Zu letzteren gehört zunächst die bei Haydn bald als Opera seria, bald als Dramma eroico oder Dramma per musica bezeichnete ernste Oper, die in kleinerer Form Festa teatrale oder Azione teatrale heißt. Daneben steht die heitere Oper, als Commedia, als Intermezzo, Opera buffa oder Burletta, einmal auch als Dramma giocoso per musica bezeichnet.
