  • Completions and Reconstructions of Musical Works Part 1: Introduction - Renaissance Church Music and the Baroque Period by Stephen Barber
    Completions and Reconstructions of Musical Works Part 1: Introduction - Renaissance Church Music and the Baroque Period by Stephen Barber Introduction Over the years a number of musical works have been left incomplete by their composers or have been partly or wholly lost and have been reconstructed. I have a particular interest in such works and now offer a preliminary survey of them. A musical work in the Western classical tradition is the realization of a written score. Improvisation usually plays a very small part, and is replaced by interpretation, which means that a score may be realized in subtly different ways. The idiom in most periods involves a certain symmetry in design and the repetition, sometimes varied, sometimes not, of key parts of the work. If the score is unfinished, then a completion or reconstruction by a good scholar or composer allows us to hear at least an approximation to what the composer intended. The use of repetition as part of the overall design can make this possible, or the existence of sketches or earlier or later versions of the work, or a good understanding of the design and idiom. Without this the work may be an incomplete torso or may be unperformable. The work is not damaged by this process, since, unlike a picture, a sculpture or a building, it exists not as a unique physical object but as a score, which can be reproduced without detriment to the original and edited and performed without affecting the original version. Completions and reconstructions may be well or badly done, but they should be judged on how well they appear to complete what appears to be the original design by the composer.

CAMERATA MUSICA CAMBRIDGE A message from the Chairman Camerata Musica Cambridge was founded in 2006 to bring new audiences, especially among the young, to the great riches of classical music. We seek to do this by presenting major works in performances of the very highest quality, and by offering the tickets to our concerts at prices that students can afford. Through the generosity of our sponsors — and, not least, through the generosity of the artists themselves — Camerata Musica has now been fulfilling this mission for over a decade. As we start out on our second decade of concert-giving, the roll of artists who have appeared in the concert series includes many of the most celebrated ensembles and instrumentalists performing today — among them Dame Mitsuko Uchida, Piotr Anderszewski, Pierre-Laurent Aimard, Sir András Schiff, Daniil Trifonov, Igor Levit, Kristian Bezuidenhout, Viktoria Mullova, Pinchas Zukerman, the Hagen, Belcea and Artemis Quartets, and many others of equal distinction. !3 For all our concerts, fully half the hall is reserved for students and those under twenty-five, and all these seats — again, thanks to the enlightened support of our sponsors — are made available at generously subsidized prices. None of this would be possible without the support of our magnificent group of Patrons and Benefactors.

  • CD Liner Notes
    LUX FULGEBIT: The Mass at Dawn of Christmas Day St. Mary’s Schola Cantorum (Norwalk, CT) The traditional Latin Mass provides a good structure for a recording because, in addition to its religious and theological significance, it is the supreme form of music drama. That the Mass is primarily a sung event is striking to any visitor: every text that is intended to be audible to the congregation is sung. Music has the practical effect of making the text more audible in a large stone church than when it is merely spoken. The musical backbone of Christian liturgical worship is plainchant. Even in the most elaborate musical establishments at the height of the Renaissance, the majority of the daily liturgical cycle of Mass and Divine Office was sung to the ancient plainchant formulas and melodies. Each text of the Mass is set differently according to its function, for musical setting has the ability to manipulate the speed with which a text is pronounced on a scale far beyond that of even the most affected speech. The prayers and lessons each have a distinctive recitational formula, but all present the text at a spoken pace. In contrast, the parts of the Mass sung by the choir, the proper chants that vary by feast and the ordinary chants that are sung at every Mass, are set at a slower pace: the text unfolds at a speed that would be unsustainably slow for spoken words. The most elaborate are the gradual and alleluia; the meditative musical punctuation between the two lessons. Each sets a psalm verse in a highly ornate manner that allows the singer and the listener to savor and contemplate the meaning in a different way from the longer scripture readings.

  • Program Notes
    Program Notes This program is part of Blue Heron’s long-range project of performing and recording music from the so-called Henrician set of partbooks now residing at Peterhouse, Cambridge. The partbooks, originally five in number, contain a large collection of Masses, Magnificats, and votive antiphons. They were copied in the latter years of the reign of Henry VIII at Magdalen College, Oxford, by the professional singer and music scribe Thomas Bull, just before Bull left Oxford to take up a new position at Canterbury Cathedral. Bull wrote down, within a very short time, a great quantity of music in plain, carefully checked, and highly legible copies intended for liturgical use, rather than for study or for presentation to a noble as a gift. (A presentation manuscript would demand decoration and fancy trimmings.) Why did Bull copy so much music so quickly? He appears to have been commissioned to supply Canterbury Cathedral with a complete repertoire of polyphonic music. The monastic foundation at Canterbury had been dissolved by Henry VIII in April 1540, one of nearly a dozen great monastic cathedrals dissolved in the years 1539-41. Most were refounded in short order as secular (i.e. non-monastic) institutions, which were subject not to an abbot—a member of a religious order who answered to the pope—but to a bishop and thence to the king, who had declared himself head of the Church of England. Now, monks sang mostly plainchant and did not generally attempt virtuosic polyphonic music, but the new foundation cathedrals aspired to considerable pomp and circumstance and so they needed to hire a choir of professional singers as well as recruit and train choirboys.
