  • Guillaume Du Fay Discography
    Guillaume Du Fay Discography Compiled by Jerome F. Weber This discography of Guillaume Du Fay (Dufay) builds on the work published in Fanfare in January and March 1980. There are more than three times as many entries in the updated version. It has been published in recognition of the publication of Guillaume Du Fay, his Life and Works by Alejandro Enrique Planchart (Cambridge, 2018) and the forthcoming two-volume Du Fay’s Legacy in Chant across Five Centuries: Recollecting the Virgin Mary in Music in Northwest Europe by Barbara Haggh-Huglo, as well as the new Opera Omnia edited by Planchart (Santa Barbara, Marisol Press, 2008–14). Works are identified following Planchart’s Opera Omnia for the most part. Listings are alphabetical by title in parts III and IV; complete Masses are chronological and Mass movements are schematic. They are grouped as follows: I. Masses II. Mass Movements and Propers III. Other Sacred Works IV. Songs (Italian, French) Secular works are identified as rondeau (r), ballade (b) and virelai (v). Dubious or unauthentic works are italicised. The recordings of each work are arranged chronologically, citing conductor, ensemble, date of recording if known, and timing if available; then the format of the recording (78, 45, LP, LP quad, MC, CD, SACD), the label, and the issue number(s). Each recorded performance is indicated, if known, as: with instruments, no instruments (n/i), or instrumental only. Album titles of mixed collections are added. ‘Se la face ay pale’ is divided into three groups, and the two transcriptions of the song in the Buxheimer Orgelbuch are arbitrarily designated ‘a’ and ‘b’.

  • PMMS L'homme Arme' Masses Discography
    Missa L’homme armé Discography Compiled by Jerome F. Weber This discography of almost forty Masses composed on the cantus firmus of L’homme armé (twenty- eight of them currently represented) makes accessible a list of this group of recordings not easily found in one place. A preliminary list was published in Fanfare 26:4 (March/April 2003) in conjunction with a recording of Busnoys’s Mass. The composers are listed in the order found in Craig Wright, The Maze and the Warrior (Cambridge and London: Harvard University Press, 2001), p. 288; the list is alphabetical within broad eras. In particular, he discusses Du Fay (pp. 175ff.), Regis (pp. 178ff.), the Naples Masses (pp. 184ff.), and Josquin des Prez (pp. 188ff.). Richard Taruskin, “Antoine Busnoys and the L’Homme armé Tradition,” Journal of AMS, XXXIX:2 (Summer 1986), pp. 255-93, writes about Busnoys and the Naples Masses, suggesting (pp. 260ff.) that Busnoys’s Mass is the earliest of the group and that the Naples Masses are also by him. Fabrice Fitch, Johannes Ockeghem: Masses and Models (Paris, 1997, pp. 62ff.), suggests that Ockeghem’s setting is the earliest. Craig Wright, op. cit. (p. 175), calls Du Fay’s the first setting. Alejandro Planchart, Guillaume Du Fay (Cambridge, 2018, p. 594) firmly calls Du Fay and Ockeghem the composers of the first two Masses, jointly commissioned by Philip the Good in May 1461. For a discussion of Taruskin’s article, see Journal of AMS, XL:1 (Spring 1987), pp. 139-53 and XL:3 (Fall 1987), pp. 576-80.

  • Musicweb International February 2020 Second Thoughts and Short Reviews
    Second Thoughts and Short Reviews - Winter 2019-20/3 By Brian Wilson, Dan Morgan, Simon Thompson and Johan van Veen. Winter #1 is here and Winter #2 is here. Earlier editions are archived here. Reviews are by Brian Wilson unless otherwise stated. Concurrently with this edition I have embarked on a summary, due soon, of some of the new releases and reissues for the Beethoven 2020 celebration of his 250th birthday. I mentioned some of these in Winter #2, but the trickle has since become a flood. My task has been made much easier by Mark Zimmer’s very detailed survey of the three bumper box sets from DG, Warner and Naxos, which allows me to concentrate on single albums and some of the individual releases associated with those box sets, especially the smaller download selections from the DG box. I’ve dealt with some of these in my article and hope to include the rest in forthcoming editions of these regular Second Thoughts and Short Reviews.

  • V Femaub 2001
    Desde el principio me he propuesto la meta y el deseo de no halagar el oído del devoto, sino predisponerlo hacia el respeto debido más apropiado a los misterios sagrados. (Francisco Guerrero, 1 de diciembre de 1584) El Festival de Música Antigua de Úbeda y Baeza se ha convertido en un punto de referencia para vida musical y cultural española, gracias a su especialización en la recuperación y transmisión de nuestro patrimonio musical. El trabajo realizado en edi - ciones anteriores ha servido para fijar los objetivos que ha de cumplir un festival de estas características. Para ello el Festival se ha propuesto brindar sus espacios tanto a grupos nacionales e internacionales de reconocido prestigio en la interpretación de este repertorio, como a intérpretes noveles que propongan nuevos e interesantes proyectos. LaV Edición del Festival de Música Antigua de Úbeda y Baeza está dedicada a la obra y época de Francisco Guerrero (1528- 1599), Maestro de Capilla de las Catedrales de Jaén y Sevilla, considerado como el compositor más auténticamente español del triunvirato formado junto a Cristóbal de Morales y Tomás Luis de Victoria. Guerrero fue el Maestro más y mejor conocido de la España de Felipe II. Para la elaboración de los programas de los diferentes conciertos se han tenido en cuenta tanto las obras, pro - fanas y religiosas, más representativas de su repertorio como las de autores vinculados a la figura del Maestro. De este modo, el concierto de La Trulla de Bozes se dedica a sus "Canciones y villanescas espirituales". Estas piezas, con - sideradas únicas en el Renacimiento español, muestran el carácter humanista de Guerrero, ya que puso música a la poesía de auto - res contemporáneos suyos, tales como: Gutierre de Cetina, Garcilaso de la Vega, Baltasar de Alcázar o Lope de Vega, entre otros.

  • Medieval Music©[
    Paul Halsall Listening to Medieval Music©[ Author: Paul Halsall Title: Listening to Medieval Music Date: 1999: last revised 01/18/2000] _______________________________________________________________ In the summer of 1999, I made a concerted effort to get a better grasp of medieval music -- better that is, than that acquired by listening to the odd recording here and there. In this document, I outline the general development of music in proto-Western and Western cultures from the time of the earliest information until the beginning of the tonal era, around 1600. Since I am not a musicologist, this outline derives from reading in secondary sources [see bibliography at the end], information supplied with the better CDs and some online sources. Appreciation of almost all serious music is improved by some effort to understand its history and development -- and indeed until very recently any educated person would have had some music education. In the case of Ancient and Medieval music, such effort is essential to enjoyment of the music, unless appreciation is to go no further that a certain "new age" mood setting. For each major period, I list suggested CDs [and occasionally other types of media] which document or attempt to represent the music. These CDs are not the only ones available to illustrate the musical history of Western civilization, but they are however, the ones I have available. [Those marked with * are additional titles that I have not been able to assess personally.] For a much greater selection of available CDs see The Early Music FAQ [http://www.medieval.org/emfaq/], which provides general overviews, and lists of the contents of the vast majority of recordings of early music.

  • PMMS Palestrina Discography
    Palestrina Discography Compiled by Jerome F. Weber A. The Palestrina Masses have existed as a working list for many years. It has been completed using the recordings and other sources of information for recordings not available, refreshed from the original records, and newly reformatted to match the Du Fay and Josquin des Prez discographies previously posted on this website. The Masses are numbered as in Gustave Reese, Music in the Renaissance (Norton, 1954), 470-72, with the addition of Missa Tu es Petrus à18, but arranged alphabetically with the generic titles placed first. Only 75 of 106 Masses are listed below as recorded, but three are fragmentary and one lacks the Credo. Three others are on obscure CDs and another three are only on LP, so perhaps only 65 Masses may be considered as currently accessible on records. B. The discography of the Magnificat was first published in Fanfare in November 2018. The expanded edition was first published on this site in January 2019. Palestrina set the Magnificat 35 times. Sixteen settings for four voices were published by Gardano in 1591, the first eight in each mode setting the odd verses in polyphony, the other eight in each mode setting the even verses polyphonically. The next eight settings for four voices in each mode (called “Book 2”) are preserved in Cappella Giulia MS 16 (now XV 22). The next eight settings for up to six voices in each mode (called “Book 3”) are in the same source. These sixteen set the even verses polyphonically. Three more settings are identified below; these include the most popular recorded setting in the vinyl era (for four equal voices) and the most popular in the CD era (for eight voices, uniquely through-composed).
