Yet it soon emerges that these compositions are more probably a presentation of the “state of the art” of keyboard music of the time, with pieces that adhere to a particular tradition and others that are more modern, with deliberate departures from established modes that embrace both a tonal handling of harmony and echoes of a more modal approach. One feature that does come to the fore is the composer’s fondness for variation, which regards not only familiar melodies but also the handling of the bass typical of Recording: 14 March 2016**, 10 July 2016***, Auditorium “Giani Casa d’Organi, Corte de’ Frati (CR); 23 June 2016****, Michele Barchi’s Studio, Viarigi (AT); 24 August 2016* Parish Church of Santa Maria delle Neve, Gualtieri (RE), Italy Recording, editing and mastering: Federico Savio Artist Photo: Maria Nacy Cover: St. Martina by Pietro Berrettini, c. 1635-1640.

By contrast the second Toccata, in F major, comes across Translation by Kate Singleton as a sort of introduction to the Canzona, whose subject is constructed in much the same manner as the previous one (the dactylic rhythm is immediately diminished), but which consists of two ample sections, with the subject in ternary rhythm in È proprio la “Selva di varie compositioni d’intavolatura per cimbalo ed organo” the second section. The keys used throughout the volume are surprisingly modern, l’unica fonte di informazioni che abbiamo su Bernardo Storace; questa straordinaria especially when bearing in mind how the instruments would have been tuned. Indeed, raccolta pubblicata a Venezia nel 1664 -ignoriamo chi fosse lo stampatore- ci informa it may be that the individual pieces were actually placed in a particular order. The infatti che il suo autore era “vice Maestro di Cappella dell’Illustrissimo Senato della first three ascend in thirds (A major, C minor, E minor), the next two feature one key nobile ed esemplare città di Messina”, come scritto nell’intestazione della prima and its relative minor (the Romanesca in C major and the Spagnoletta in A minor), pagina. Diventa allora emozionante cercare di immaginare, leggendo fra le note and then come the Monica in G minor and the Ruggiero in G major. The most che affollano le pagine dell’elegante edizione in intavolatura italiana, quale potesse remarkable juxtaposition is found in the two gems of the collection: the Passagagli essere la figura umana e musicale di Storace. La sua scrittura, descritta da alcuni fe fa ut per b and the Ciaccona. The former is in F minor (with the central section in modo sbrigativo come un ponte tra Girolamo Frescobaldi e Bernardo Pasquini, in B flat minor and the second in E flat major), while the latter composition is in a rivendica invece un’autonomia assoluta che lo colloca tra i grandi autori di musica luminous, lively C major featuring a succession in fifths, with one part in F major per tastiera del barocco europeo. Se si considerano nel loro insieme i ventitré brani and one in B flat major, followed by the conclusion that returns to C major. In all the che sono contenuti nella Selva si viene colti dalla tentazione di capire se ci possa Passagagli the bass part involves different forms of the classic descending tetrachord, essere un percorso cronologico nella loro scrittura, uno sviluppo, quali siano le composizioni che rappresentano una prima fase e così via. In realtà ci si convince due delle gemme della collezione, ovvero il Passagagli fe fa ut per b e la Ciaccona. Il ben presto che probabilmente la sua produzione voglia presentare lo “stato dell’arte” primo è nel tono di fa minore (con la sezione centrale addirittura in si bemolle minore della musica da tasto in quel periodo, con brani che seguono una certa tradizione ed e l’ultima in mi bemolle maggiore), mentre la seconda composizione è in un luminoso altri ben più moderni, con significative deviazioni da percorsi più o meno consueti e vitale do maggiore (che porta, sempre con una successione di quinta in quinta, ad e con la compresenza di atteggiamenti armonici pienamente tonali e reminiscenze una parte in fa maggiore e ad una in si bemolle maggiore prima della conclusione di modali. Assai evidente è la preferenza per la variazione, sia su melodie conosciute, nuovo in do maggiore). In tutti i Passagagli il basso utilizzato è il classico tetracordo sia su bassi tipici dell’epoca; troviamo il Passo e Mezzo, la Romanesca, la Monica, il discendente articolato in maniere differenti ed è proprio in questi brani che Storace Ruggiero, il Cinque Passi, la Follia (quella “antica”), un Balletto, diversi Passagagli e sperimenta le soluzioni armoniche più ardite (false relazioni create ad arte, utilizzo una Ciaccona. A questi si aggiungono il colorito Ballo della Battaglia, due Correnti, contemporaneo della scala minore melodica ascendente e di quella discendente). due Ricercari (il primo sullo stesso soggetto usato da Frescobaldi per il Recercar Le differenti parti delle variazioni e dei Passagagli sono spesso modellate su ritmi con obbligo di cantare la quinta parte senza toccarla dalla Messa della Madonna di danza quali correnti e gagliarde, ma l’autore non esita ad introdurre sezioni in dei Fiori Musicali) ed una Pastorale (di lunghezza inusitata ed originalità assoluta, stile pastorale.

Early Baroque Keyboard Instruments Music for the Cimbalo Cromatico and Other Split- Keyed Instruments in Seventeenth-Century Italy* Christopher Stembridge The Concept of the Cimbalo Cromatico Although no example of such an instrument is known to have survived intact, the cimbalo cromatico was a clearly defined type of harpsichord that apparently enjoyed a certain vogue in Italy during the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries.1 The earliest use of the term is found in the titles of two toccatas per il cimbalo cromatico included by Ascanio Mayone in his Secondo Libro di Diversi Capricci per Sonare published in Naples in 1609.2 Subsequently the term was used in publications by This is the first of three related articles.

  • The Harpsichord: a Research and Information Guide
    THE HARPSICHORD: A RESEARCH AND INFORMATION GUIDE BY SONIA M. LEE DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts in Music with a concentration in Performance and Literature in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2012 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Charlotte Mattax Moersch, Chair and Co-Director of Research Professor Emeritus Donald W. Krummel, Co-Director of Research Professor Emeritus John W. Hill Associate Professor Emerita Heidi Von Gunden ABSTRACT This study is an annotated bibliography of selected literature on harpsichord studies published before 2011. It is intended to serve as a guide and as a reference manual for anyone researching the harpsichord or harpsichord related topics, including harpsichord making and maintenance, historical and contemporary harpsichord repertoire, as well as performance practice. This guide is not meant to be comprehensive, but rather to provide a user-friendly resource on the subject. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to express my deepest gratitude to my dissertation advisers Professor Charlotte Mattax Moersch and Professor Donald W. Krummel for their tremendous help on this project. My gratitude also goes to the other members of my committee, Professor John W. Hill and Professor Heidi Von Gunden, who shared with me their knowledge and wisdom. I am extremely thankful to the librarians and staff of the University of Illinois Library System for assisting me in obtaining obscure and rare publications from numerous libraries and archives throughout the United States and abroad.
