Ridiculously obvious, I know, and I'd be stunned if I met any US citizen over the age of 10 who did not know about Thomas Jefferson. In addition to his political career (in the Pacific Northwest we know him as the man behind the Corps of Discovery), I knew that he played the violin. What I didn't know before I began concert research and preparation, was that he had an incredible music collection and was very knowledgeable about all types of music. He also counted Patrick Henry as one of his chamber music partners. We included the music of Ignatio Sancho because lefferson knew his music. Jefferson's opinion of Sancho was that his music was good ... for an African, but not as good as Peter Pelham. Jefferson was wrong. No one playing in the concert tonight would ever call him- or herself a political genius as Jefferson, but we can safely say that Jefferson's opinion of Sancho was misinformed, and made from a skewed perspective. From our perspective (music written by dead guys or gals; they're all the same—dead), Sancho's music is as good or better than anyone else at the time. This program puts several elements together: "classical" music (Bach, Abel, Carulli, Corelli, Purcell, and Tessarini), where one sits and listens, dance music (Sancho, et al), with not much sitting, music for the theater, and traditional music. Please note that in the 18th century (and earlier) the musicians who played classical music (on the page) and traditional music (off the page) were often the same people. Thomas Jefferson's brother, a highly educated person, at some point decided to ONLY play traditional music. One thing I noticed when researching the program is the lack of continuity in concert programs from the 18th-century. A movement from one piece followed by a song, followed by a completely contrasting movement from another piece.

A pesar de su estado fragmentario, la circunstancia de que en él se den cita un vi- llancico hasta ahora desconocido de Juan de Valera, que fue maestro de capilla de la catedral de Se- villa entre 1505 y 1507, y otro de Pedro de Escobar, su sucesor en el cargo, invita a revisar algunos datos que son lugar común cuando se trata de villancicos navideños, así como el papel desempe- ñado por destacados miembros de la orden franciscana en los orígenes del género. Palabras clave:Villancico navideño, Orense, Juan de Valera, Pedro de Escobar, Ambrosio de Mon- tesino, Reyes Católicos. The timely discovery of a new manuscript featuring Christmas chansonnier repertory expands on the information available on this subject during a relatively early period, as is that of the reign of the Catholic Monarchs. In spite of its fragmentary nature, the fact that it contains a hitherto unknown villancico (carol) by Juan de Valera, who was maestro di cappella at Seville Cathedral between 1505 and 1507, and another by Pedro de Escobar, his successor in the post, calls for a revision of some of the clichéd information about Christmas carols, as well as the role played by leading members of the Franciscan order in the origins of the genre.

PROFESSOR OF ROMANIC LANGUAGES AND LITERATURES IN THE UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA PHILADELPHIA 1922 PUBLICATIONS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA DEPARTMENT OF ROMANIC LANGUAGES AND LITERATURES Extra Series, No. 7 LIBRARY u IDMVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA SANTA BARBARA C STo MY WIFE MAY WICKERSHAM CRAWFORD THIS LITTLE VOLUME IS AFFECTIONATELY DEDICATED PREFACE SEVENTY years have passed since the first appearance of Adolph Friedrich von Schack's Geschichte der dramatischen Literatur und Kunst in Spanien, the first part of which was devoted to a study of the predecessors of Lope de Vega, and while many critical studies have been written upon individual dramatists and many plays, not mentioned by Schack, have been discovered and published, no attempt has been made since that time to write a history of the earlier Spanish drama. Limitations of space have prevented me from attempting to write a detailed history of the Spanish drama before Lope de Vega, but I have tried to give at least an outline of the de- velopment of dramatic literature in that period. I am fully aware of the fact that the picture 'which I present is incomplete,, but it is my hope that I have succeeded in presenting here the results of the studies of my many predecessors, as well as of my own reading, and that this little book will serve as a- starting-point for further investigation in a subject that offers- so much of interest.

  • Francesco Corbetta - the Best of All
    Francesco Corbetta - The Best of All A study of his life and works Section IV – Thematic Index & Bibliography Introduction p.343-344 Thematic index p.345-365 Thematic index Appendix p.366-368 Bibliography p.369-379 343 Thematic Index to Pieces in Manuscript Sources Introduction The final section of this study is a thematic index to pieces attributed to Corbetta in sources other than his five surviving printed books. Pieces are grouped first by key, then by movements from the standard suite in the order that they usually appear – i.e. prelude, allemande, courante, sarabande, gigue followed by miscellaneous movements – such as the minuet, etc. Sets of variations on the chaconne, folias and passacailles are at the end. The pieces have been given a running catalogue number starting with FC 01. Each entry includes a transcription of the opening bars of the piece. These have been transcribed with notes on the fifth course always in the upper octave identified by lozenge shaped note-heads. Notes on the fourth course are transcribed in the lower or upper octave depending on the underlying part writing identified by lozenge shaped note-heads highlighted in blue. In the sake of clarity notes on the fifth course which duplicate notes on the upper courses in unison have usually been omitted from five-part chords unless they have implications for the part-writing. This is followed by details of the source(s) in which the piece is found, the folio/page number and the title of the piece in the source with the attribution in brackets.

Además, recoge una amplia variedad de composiciones, muchas de ellas dentro del género del villancico. La gran mayoría de ellas tratan asuntos festivos, satíricos y amorosos, aunque también existen algunos ejemplos religiosos, así como otros de tema político. Es una de las fuentes musicales españolas más importante de finales del siglo XV y principios del XVI, con 551 composiciones, de las que se conservan unas 460. Es conocido con este nombre porque fue hallado en el Palacio Real de Madrid. También recibe el nombre de cancionero de Barbieri, por haber sido este compositor y musicólogo quien lo estudió y transcribió a finales del siglo XIX, por encargo de la Real Academia Española (Madrid, 1890). Aunque algunos autores permanecen anónimos, hoy son pocos ya los compositores no identificados e incluye piezas de aproximadamente 50 maestros, entre los que sobresalen Juan del Encina, Milán, Escobar, Mondéjar, Francisco de La Torre, Francisco Peñalosa, Juan de Anchieta.

The dances from pages 83 to 85 of the Resumen are drawn from Feuillet's Recueil de contredances mises en chor~graphie (Paris, 1706) (see Appendix Ib).

  • Download Program Notes
    Cantores y ministriles Music in Seville in the Golden Age Our program offers a panoramic view of Spanish music from the mid-fifteenth century up through the first decade of the seventeenth, loosely centered on the Andalusian capital, Seville, and its cathedral, Santa Maria de la Sede. The city, founded by the Romans as Hispalis, was known as Ishbiliya during five centuries of Muslim rule from 742 until Christian reconquista in 1248. In 1401 the members of the cathedral chapter decided to construct a new church on the former site of the city’s principal mosque, resolving, according to local tradition, to “build a church so beautiful and so grand that those who see it finished will consider us madmen.” Completed one hundred years later in 1506, the cathedral is the third largest church in the world, and the largest cathedral; next to it stands an imposing bell tower, the Giralda, which incorporates the minaret of the mosque. Seville’s wealth, considerably enhanced after 1492 by its port’s monopoly on trade with the Empire’s overseas dominions, nurtured a Golden Age in the arts. Many of the greatest Spanish composers of the sixteenth century were associated with the city and its cathedral, including Francisco de Peñalosa (d. 1528), Cristóbal de Morales (d. 1553), Francisco Guerrero (d. 1599), and Alonso Lobo (d. 1617). Morales and Guerrero were both natives of Seville; Morales proudly styled himself “Hispalensis” on the title pages of his publications, while Guerrero spent most of his life and career at the cathedral and died in the city at the age of 71.

A pesar de esta relevante posición es muy poco lo conocido con respecto a su cronología, creadores y mecenas. Uno de los propósitos de este trabajo es indagar sobre tales interrogantes, poniendo en conjunción las fuentes musicales y textuales que la contienen con el contexto histórico–musical en el que surgió. Así mismo se contemplan los posibles significados simbólicos de los que pudo estar dotada la canción en los territorios hispanos. Ello se hace con la finalidad no solo de conocer algo más sobre el porqué de su difusión, sino también de la existencia de las dos Misas Nunca fue pena mayor de Peñalosa y Pierre de la Rue y del motete de Pipelare Memorare mater lo que, en última instancia, aporta nuevos datos sobre algunas de las fuentes europeas del momento. Abstract: Nunca fue pena mayor was one of the greatest musical hits from the late fifteenth century Europe. Despite this important position it is very little known about its chronology, creators and patrons. One purpose of this work is to research such questions, showing both musical and textual sources that contain the historical and musical context in which it arose. They are contemplated also possible symbolic meanings or identity of that song that could be provided in Hispanic territories.

  • …Some of the Most Ravishing Lute Playing to Be Heard Anywhere
    Grammy-Nominated Lutenist …some of the most ravishing lute playing to be heard anywhere “ ~The Washington Times ” www.RonnMcFarlane.com probably the fnest living exponent of his instrument AbeguilingrecordingbytheUSlutenistwhich ~The Times Colonist, Victoria, B.C. beautifully balances traditional Scottish and Irish tunes with works by Turlough O’Carolan “ ~BBC Music Magazine “ ” GRAMMY-nominated lutenist, Ronn McFarlane brings the lute - the most popular instrument of the ” Renaissance - into today’s musical mainstream making it accessible to a wider audience. Since taking up the lute in 1978, Ronn has made his mark in music as the founder of Ayreheart, a founding member of the Baltimore Consort, touring 49 of the 50 United States, Canada, England, Scotland, Netherlands, Germany and Austria, and as a guest artist with Apollo’s Fire, The Bach Sinfonia, The Catacoustic Consort, The Folger Consort, Houston Grand Opera, The Oregon Symphony, The Portland Baroque Orchestra, and The Indianapolis Baroque Orchestra. Born in West Virginia, Ronn grew up in Maryland. At thirteen, upon hearing “Wipeout” by the Surfaris, he fell madly in love with music and The Celtic Lute taught himself to play on a “cranky sixteen-dollar steel string guitar.” Released in 2018, Ronn's newest solo Ronn kept at it, playing blues and rock music on the electric guitar while album features all-new arrangements of traditional Irish and Scottish folk music studying classical guitar. He graduated with honors from Shenandoah Conservatory and continued guitar studies at Peabody Conservatory before turning his full attention and energy to the lute in 1978. McFarlane was a faculty member of the Peabody Conservatory from Solo Discography 1984 to 1995, teaching lute and lute-related subjects.
