Credo I believe in one God, the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible.

Begotten, not made, of one substance with the Father by whom all things were made. Who for us and for our salvation came down from heaven, and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the Virgin Mary. And was made man. Crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate, he suffered, and was buried. And on the third day he rose again, according to the Scriptures. He ascended into heaven and he sits at the right hand of the Father. He shall come again with glory to judge the living and the dead; and of his kingdom there will be no end. And I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and Giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who together with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified, who spoke to us through the Prophets. And I believe in one, holy, catholic and Apostolic Church. I confess one baptism for the remission of sins. I await the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.

Dixit Dominus (Psalm 110) The Lord said to my Lord, ‘Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.’ The Lord will extend your mighty scepter from Zion, saying, ‘Rule in the midst of your enemies!’ Your troops will be willing on your day of battle. Arrayed in holy splendor, your young men will come to you like dew from the morning’s womb. The Lord has sworn and will not change his mind: ‘You are a priest for ever, in the order of Melchizedek.’ The Lord is at your right hand; he will crush kings on the day of his wrath. He will judge nations, heaping up the dead and crushing the rulers of the whole earth. He will drink from a brook along the way; and so he will lift his head high. Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, As it was in the beginning, is now and will be forever. Amen. 2. Confitebor (Psalm 111) I will extol the Lord with all my heart in the council of the upright and in the assembly. Great are the works of the Lord; they are pondered by all who delight in them. Glorious and majestic are his deeds, and his righteousness endures forever. He has caused his wonders to be remembered; the Lord is gracious and compassionate. He provides food for those who fear him; he remembers his covenant forever. He has shown his people the power of his works, giving them the lands of other nations. The works of his hands are faithful and just; all his precepts are trustworthy. They are established forever and ever, enacted in faithfulness and uprightness. He provided redemption for his people; he ordained his covenant forever – holy and awesome is his name. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; all who follow his precepts have good understanding. To him belongs eternal praise. Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, As it was in the beginning, is now and will be forever. Amen. 3. Beatus Vir (Psalm 112) Blessed are those who fear the Lord, who find great delight in his commands. Their children will be mighty in the land; the generation of the upright will be blessed. Wealth and riches are in their houses, and their righteousness endures forever. Even in darkness light dawns for the upright, for those who are gracious and compassionate and righteous. Good will come to those who are generous and lend freely, who conduct their affairs with justice. Surely the righteous will never be shaken; they will be remembered forever. They will have no fear of bad news; their hearts are steadfast, trusting in the Lord. Their hearts are secure, they will have no fear; in the end they will look in triumph on their foes. They have freely scattered their gifts to the poor, their righteousness endures forever; their horn will be lifted high in honor. The wicked will see and be vexed, they will gnash their teeth and waste away; the longings of the wicked will come to nothing. Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, As it was in the beginning, is now and will be forever. Amen. 4. Laudate Pueri (Psalm 113) Praise the Lord, you his servants; praise the name of the Lord. Let the name of the Lord be praised, both now and for evermore. From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets, the name of the Lord is to be praised. The Lord is exalted over all the nations, his glory above the heavens. Who is like the Lord our God, the One who sits enthroned on high, who stoops down to look on the heavens and the earth? He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap; he seats them with princes, with the princes of his people. He settles the childless woman in her home as a happy mother of children. Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, As it was in the beginning, is now and will be forever. Amen. 5. Laudate Dominum (Psalm 117) Praise the Lord, all you nations; extol him, all you peoples. For great is his love towards us, and the faithfulness of the Lord endures forever. Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, As it was in the beginning, is now and will be forever. Amen. 6. Magnificat My soul glorifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for he has been mindful of the humble state of his servant. From now on all generations will call me blessed, for the Mighty One has done great things for me – holy is his name. His mercy extends to those who fear him, from generation to generation. He has performed mighty deeds with his arm; he has scattered those who are proud in their inmost thought. He has brought down rulers from their thrones and has lifted the humble. He has filled the hungry with good things but has sent the rich away empty. He has helped his servant Israel, remembering to be merciful to Abraham and his descendants forever, just as he promised our ancestors. Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, As it was in the beginning, is now and will be forever. Amen. Program Notes Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was perhaps the greatest musical prodigy of all time. He was born in Salzburg in 1756, the son of a well-known violinist, teacher and composer, Leopold Mozart. His father recognized his musical abilities and those of his older sister Nannerl at a very young age, and spent most of his time, money and energy nurturing and promoting his children’s skill.

The earliest illustration of a jointed flute is to be found in the Theatrum Instrumentorum seu Sciagraphia of Michaelis Praetorius, published at Wolfenbuttel in 1615-1620 in illustration of the author's Syntagma Musicum.2 Praetorius introduces pictures of four flutes, and the largest of these apparently has a separate head-joint, since the diameter is larger at the joint; however, this may be ornamentation instead of a joint. The first three holes are 1Curt Sachs, The History of Musical Instruments, pp. 380-81. The flute~of the firsrhVf or the eighteenth cen- tury was expressly designated as "traversat' or "transviere." "Flauto" in Bach's scores meant the recorder, and "flauto piccolo" indicated the French flageolet, not the transverse piccolo.

  • Scordatura in Heinrich Biber's Mystery Sonatas
    The Encoding of Faith: Scordatura in Heinrich Biber's Mystery Sonatas " I • # • t Daniel John Edgar Ph.D. University of York Department of Music March 2008 ABSTRACT The critical reception of scordatura since the time of Heinrich Ignaz Franz Biber (1644-1704) has led to the commonly accepted notion that it is suitable only for vacuous displays of instrumental virtuosity. Consequently. Biber's extraordinary use of the technique in the Mystery Sonatas - 15 works based on the Catholic rosary - has been largely overlooked in modem scholarship. This thesis will contend that scordatura is, in fact, fundamental to Biber's compositional language within the Mystery Sonatas, and that his method of deploying it reflects his Catholic. and specifically Jesuit, background. Chapter 1 traces the history of scordatura, illustrating the tradition to which the Mystery Sonatas belong, its rise and fall from musical fashion, and subsequent critical reception. Chapter 2 establishes the contexts within which Biber's use of scordatura can be assessed. by attempting to define the characteristics of a Jesuit approach to music and the rosary. This is achieved through an examination of Jesuit religious art and the experiential nature of meditation advocated in St. Ignatius Loyola's Spiritual Exercises. Chapter 3 presents, for the first time, an investigation into the mechanical aspects of scordatura, the physical changes brought about on the violin by retuning the strings, and the variety of effects this has on the instrument's tone production. Having established that Biber's use of scordatura in the Mystery Sonatas provides him with a uniquely expressive musical idiom, chapter 4 considers how he employs the technique as a narrative device, assessing the way in which it conveys the pieces' content.
