Baroque Instruments The Baroque Cello and Its Performance Marc Vanscheeuwijck The instrument we now call a cello (or violoncello) apparently deve- loped during the first decades of the 16th century from a combina- tion of various string instruments of popular European origin (espe- cially the rebecs) and the vielle. Although nothing precludes our hypothesizing that the bass of the violins appeared at the same time as the other members of that family, the earliest evidence of its existence is to be found in the treatises of Agricola,1 Gerle,2 Lanfranco,3 and Jambe de Fer.4 Also significant is a fresco (1540- 42) attributed to Giulio Cesare Luini in Varallo Sesia in northern Italy, in which an early cello is represented (see Fig. 1). 1 Martin Agricola, Musica instrumentalis deudsch (Wittenberg, 1529; enlarged 5th ed., 1545), f.

Agricola Und Das Verkehrte. Zum Umgang Mit Satztechnischen Idiosynkrasien in Musik Des Späten 15
Agricola und das Verkehrte Zum Umgang mit satztechnischen Idiosynkrasien in Musik des späten 15. Jahrhunderts Markus Roth ABSTRACT: Die vorliegende, vom Kyrie I der Missa Sine Nomine ausgehende Untersuchung wid- met sich bemerkenswerten Eigenarten der Kompositionstechnik Alexander Agricolas (1446–1506), dem schon die unmittelbaren Nachfahren bescheinigten, Dinge »auf ungewohnte Weise zu wen- den« (Hulrich Brätel 1536). Tatsächlich zeigen sich bestimmte Paradoxien im Tonsatz des späten 15. Jahrhunderts bei Agricola auf besonders eigentümliche Weise. Die Studien von Fabrice Fitch (2005; 2007) vertiefend, diskutiert der Beitrag die Frage, auf welche Weise Agricola seinerzeit Regeln ›verkehrte‹ und sich über satztechnische Normen hinwegsetzte. In diesem Zusammenhang wird der Begriff der ›mi contra fa-Latenz‹ vorgeschlagen, um den grundsätzlichen Problemen der Musica ficta zu begegnen. This essay, starting with the Kyrie I of the Missa Sine Nomine, is dedicated to some remarkable compositional idiosyncracies of Alexander Agricola (1446–1506), of whom his contemporaries attested the talent of “turning things in an unexpected manner” (Hulrich Brätel 1536). Certain pa- radoxes in the formal composition of late 15th century music appear in Agricola’s work in a strange fashion. Drawing on and furthering the studies of Fabrice Fitch (2005; 2007), this paper reveals how Agricola breaks with compositional conventions. To frame this analytical discussion, I propose the term “mi contra fa-Latenz” to explain some of the fundamental problems of musica -
Michael Praetorius's Theology of Music in Syntagma Musicum I (1615): a Politically and Confessionally Motivated Defense of Instruments in the Lutheran Liturgy
MICHAEL PRAETORIUS'S THEOLOGY OF MUSIC IN SYNTAGMA MUSICUM I (1615): A POLITICALLY AND CONFESSIONALLY MOTIVATED DEFENSE OF INSTRUMENTS IN THE LUTHERAN LITURGY Zachary Alley A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF MUSIC August 2014 Committee: Arne Spohr, Advisor Mary Natvig ii ABSTRACT Arne Spohr, Advisor The use of instruments in the liturgy was a controversial issue in the early church and remained at the center of debate during the Reformation. Michael Praetorius (1571-1621), a Lutheran composer under the employment of Duke Heinrich Julius of Braunschweig-Lüneburg, made the most significant contribution to this perpetual debate in publishing Syntagma musicum I—more substantial than any Protestant theologian including Martin Luther. Praetorius's theological discussion is based on scripture, the discourse of early church fathers, and Lutheran theology in defending the liturgy, especially the use of instruments in Syntagma musicum I. In light of the political and religious instability throughout Europe it is clear that Syntagma musicum I was also a response—or even a potential solution—to political circumstances, both locally and in the Holy Roman Empire. In the context of the strengthening counter-reformed Catholic Church in the late sixteenth century, Lutheran territories sought support from Reformed church territories (i.e., Calvinists). This led some Lutheran princes to gradually grow more sympathetic to Calvinism or, in some cases, officially shift confessional systems. In Syntagma musicum I Praetorius called on Lutheran leaders—prince-bishops named in the dedication by territory— specifically several North German territories including Brandenburg and the home of his employer in Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel, to maintain Luther's reforms and defend the church they were entrusted to protect, reminding them that their salvation was at stake. -

Instruments of the Orchestra
INSTRUMENTS OF THE ORCHESTRA String Family WHAT: Wooden, hollow-bodied instruments strung with metal strings across a bridge. WHERE: Find this family in the front of the orchestra and along the right side. HOW: Sound is produced by a vibrating string that is bowed with a bow made of horse tail hair. The air then resonates in the hollow body. Other playing techniques include pizzicato (plucking the strings), col legno (playing with the wooden part of the bow), and double-stopping (bowing two strings at once). WHY: Composers use these instruments for their singing quality and depth of sound. HOW MANY: There are four sizes of stringed instruments: violin, viola, cello and bass. A total of forty-four are used in full orchestras. The string family is the largest family in the orchestra, accounting for over half of the total number of musicians on stage. The string instruments all have carved, hollow, wooden bodies with four strings running from top to bottom. The instruments have basically the same shape but vary in size, from the smaller VIOLINS and VIOLAS, which are played by being held firmly under the chin and either bowed or plucked, to the larger CELLOS and BASSES, which stand on the floor, supported by a long rod called an end pin. The cello is always played in a seated position, while the bass is so large that a musician must stand or sit on a very high stool in order to play it. These stringed instruments developed from an older instrument called the viol, which had six strings. -
ACET Junior Academies'
ACET Junior Academies’ Scheme of Work for music Year 5 Unit 1.1: A Musical Masque About this unit: This unit of work is linked to the History scheme of work HT 1.1 Post 1066 Study: The Tudors. It is a starting point for exploration into Tudor music. In it children will begin to learn about Tudor Dance music, in particular the Pavan as a popular Tudor dance. Children will identify its characteristic musical features and rhythms before attempting to dance the Pavan and performing their own Pavan melody over a drone accompaniment. Children will then move on to learn about traditional Tudor musical instruments before exploring Tudor songs and madrigal-style songs with a ‘fa, la, la, la’ refrain. Where they will compose their own lyrics to a madrigal melody. Fanfares are explored briefly before children work towards putting on a Tudor style banquet/concert combining elements of all the musical learning in to a class performance. Unit structure National Curriculum objectives: This unit is structured around six sequential music enquiries: 1. What is a Pavan? Links to previous and future National Curriculum 2. How do we perform a Pavan? units/objectives 3. What do Tudor instruments sound like? KS2 4. What is a Madrigal? ● Listen with attention to detail and recall sound with 5. What is a Fanfare? increasing aural memory. BBC Ten Pieces 6. A musical masque – banquet/concert. ● Appreciate and understand a wide range of high-quality live and recorded music drawn from different traditions and from great composers and musicians. ● Play and perform in solo ensemble contexts, using their voices and playing musical instruments with increasing accuracy, fluency, control and expression. -
