The masters of the six- teenth century brought to supreme climax the development of Mass and motet, chanson and madrigal; yet the Renaissance also wit- nessed a flowering of instrumental music, destined ultimately to supplant in importance the older, vocal art. Most of the instrumental music of the Renaissance was pub- lished in the second half of the sixteenth century, a period during which France and the Low Countries surrendered to Italy their dominant position on the musical scene. The Italian masters no longer were overshadowed by immigrant musicians from the North, and to them fell the role of leadership in the first important era of instrumental music. Throughout the Renaissance, instruments were used wherever there was music-ma.king, but up to the last half of the sixteenth cen- tury, the forms and style of instrumental repertory were chiefly those of vocal music. The rise of instrumental music was accom- panied by the progressive appearance of a body of music composed 1 2 specifically to be played rather than sung. The Italians found the models for their instrumental compositions in vocal forms, where the craftsmanship and refinement were commensurate with the de- mands of the new instrumental medium. Among the sixteenty-century vocal forms, some proved more valuable than others as models for instrumental composition. Madrigals, the musical arch-manifestation of the Renaissance, generally depended too heavily on expression and depiction of their texts to serve well as instrumental music. The French polyphonic chanson, popular in Italy throughout the six- teenth century, and the motet offered the best prototypes since they were deeply indebted to the abstract qualities of imitative counter- point. Near midcentury the motet-like ricercar made its appearance. The canzona, modeled on the French chanson, came later. Among the publications cited by Claudio Sartori in his Bibliografia della musica strumentale italiana stampata in Italia fino al 1700 (Florence: Leo S. Olschki, 1952), the Italian term for French chanson most 1 often found is canzon francese (pl. canzoni francesi) . The in- strumental canzonas are called canzoni alla francese ("canzonas 1 Subsequent citations of Sartori in this study refer to the Bibliografia except where specified otherwise. 3 in the French style"), canzoni da sonare, or canzoni per sonare 1 ("canzonas to be played"). Canzonas for ensembles of instruments were first published in the 1570's (Sartori, 1572 and 1579). They increased steadily in popularity, and by the end of the sixteenth century they were more numerous than compositions in any other form in Italian instrumental music. The canzonas became ever more independent of their vocal prototype although the chanson continued to exert significant stylistic influence. After the first two decades of the seventeenth century, the importance of the canzona waned and was replaced by that of the baroque sonata, which relied upon the canzona for its stylistic point of departure. In 1608, the Venetian music printer Alessandro Rauerij published a collection of Canzoni per sonare con ogni sorte di 2 stromenti ("canzonas to be played on any kind of instruments"). Rauerij 's collection presents a comprehensive picture of the can- zona for instrumental ensembles in what might be considered the classical stage of the form. It contains thirty-six compositions by twelve composers, including some of the most celebrated musicians 1 Several variants of the term canzon (canzoni) are found, including canzone (pl . canzoni) and canzona (pl. canzone). 2 The title-page of the original publication is reproduced here as Plate I, page 247. 4 of the age. Among the masters represented were Giovanni Gabriel!, Claudio Merulo, Gioseffo Guami, and Luzzasco Luzzaschi, who in- spired torrents of praise

  • The Motets of Andrea and Giovanni Gabrieli in the Rokycany Music Collection
    Musica Iagellonica 2017 ISSN 1233–9679 Kateřina Maýrová (Czech Museum of Music, Prague) The motets of Andrea and Giovanni Gabrieli in the Rokycany Music Collection This work provides a global survey on the Italian music repertoire contained in the music collection that is preserved in the Roman-Catholic parish of Roky- cany, a town located near Pilsen in West-Bohemia, with a special regard to the polychoral repertoire of the composers Andrea and Giovanni Gabrieli and their influence on Bohemian cori-spezzati compositions. The mutual comparison of the Italian and Bohemian polychoral repertoire comprises also a basic compara- tion with the most important music collections preserved in the area of the so- called historical Hungarian Lands (today’s Slovakia), e.g. the Bardejov [Bart- feld / Bártfa] (BMC) and the Levoča [Leutschau / Löcse] Music Collections. From a music-historical point of view, the Rokycany Music Collection (RMC) of musical prints and manuscripts stemming from the second half of the 16th to the first third of the 17th centuries represents a very interesting complex of music sources. They were originally the property of the Rokycany litterati brotherhood. The history of the origin and activities of the Rokycany litterati brother- hood can be followed only in a very fragmentary way. 1 1 Cf. Jiří Sehnal, “Cantionál. 1. The Czech kancionál”, in The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians, ed. Stanley Sadie, 29 vols. (London–New York: Macmillan, 20012), vol. 5: 59–62. To the problems of the litterati brotherhoods was devoted the conference, held in 2004 65 Kateřina Maýrová The devastation of many historical sites during the Thirty Years War, fol- lowed by fires in 1728 and 1784 that destroyed much of Rokycany and the church, resulted in the loss of a significant part of the archives.

  • The Organ Ricercars of Hans Leo Hassler and Christian Erbach
    INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material subm itted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame 3. When a map, dravdng or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in “sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again-beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. For any illustrations that cannot be reproduced satisfactorily by xerography, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and tipped into your xerographic copy.

  • Venice's Marriage to the Sea Blog Post by Jeanne Willoz-Egnor
    Venice’s Marriage to the Sea Blog post by Jeanne Willoz-Egnor published May 31, 2019 This weekend marks the annual Festa della Sensa in Venice. Although the festival didn’t start until 1965 it commemorates and recreates the ancient traditional ceremony of Sposalizio del Mar, the event in which Venice is symbolically married to the sea. Hand-colored copperplate engraving titled The Doge in the Bucintoro Departing for the Porto di Lido on Ascension Day. The original artwork was created by Canaletto and engraved by Giovanni Battista Brustolo. This third state engraving was printed by Teodoro Viera in Venice sometime around 1787. [Accession# LE 831] The origins of the ceremony date to the period when Venice was a sovereign state (from 697 AD to 1797 AD). It commemorates two important events in the state’s history: the May 9, 1000 departure of Doge Pietro II Orseolo with a fleet on the successful mission to subdue Narentine pirates threatening Venetian power, trade and travel on the Adriatic and Doge Sebastiano Ziani’s successful negotiation of the Treaty of Venice in 1177. The treaty ended a long standing conflict between the Holy Roman Empire headed by Frederick Barbarossa and the Papacy. Following Orseolo’s victory, each year on Ascension Day Venice celebrated the Doge’s conquest of Dalmatia with a solemn procession of boats led by the doge’s maestà nave to the San Pietro di Castello where the Bishop blessed the doge. The procession then proceeded to the lido at San Nicolò, Venice’s entrée to the Adriatic Sea, where the prayer "for us and all who sail thereon, may the sea be calm and quiet" was offered.

  • Caterina Corner in Venetian History and Iconography Holly Hurlburt
    Early Modern Women: An Interdisciplinary Journal 2009, vol. 4 Body of Empire: Caterina Corner in Venetian History and Iconography Holly Hurlburt n 1578, a committee of government officials and monk and historian IGirolamo Bardi planned a program of redecoration for the Sala del Maggior Consiglio (Great Council Hall) and the adjoining Scrutinio, among the largest and most important rooms in the Venetian Doge’s Palace. Completed, the schema would recount Venetian history in terms of its international stature, its victories, and particularly its conquests; by the sixteenth century Venice had created a sizable maritime empire that stretched across the eastern Mediterranean, to which it added considerable holdings on the Italian mainland.1 Yet what many Venetians regarded as the jewel of its empire, the island of Cyprus, was calamitously lost to the Ottoman Turks in 1571, three years before the first of two fires that would necessitate the redecoration of these civic spaces.2 Anxiety about such a loss, fear of future threats, concern for Venice’s place in evolving geopolitics, and nostalgia for the past prompted the creation of this triumphant pro- gram, which featured thirty-five historical scenes on the walls surmounted by a chronological series of ducal portraits. Complementing these were twenty-one large narratives on the ceiling, flanked by smaller depictions of the city’s feats spanning the previous seven hundred years. The program culminated in the Maggior Consiglio, with Tintoretto’s massive Paradise on one wall and, on the ceiling, three depictions of allegorical Venice in triumph by Tintoretto, Veronese, and Palma il Giovane. These rooms, a center of republican authority, became a showcase for the skills of these and other artists, whose history paintings in particular underscore the deeds of men: clothed, in armor, partially nude, frontal and foreshortened, 61 62 EMWJ 2009, vol.

  • Exploring Implications of the Double Attribution of the Madrigal “Canzon Se L’Esser Meco” to Andrea Gabrieli and Orlande De Lassus
    A 16th Century Publication Who-Dun-it: Exploring implications of the double attribution of the madrigal “Canzon se l’esser meco” to Andrea Gabrieli and Orlande de Lassus. Karen Linnstaedter Strange, MM A Double Attribution Why was a single setting of “Canzon se l’esser meco” published in 1584 and 1589 under different composers’ names? For centuries, music history has ascribed this setting of a text from a Petrarchan madrigale to either Orlande de Lassus or Andrea Gabrieli, depending on the publication. It has been assumed the two original publications contain distinct creations of “Canzon se l’esser meco,” and to support this confusion, slight differences in notation between the two modern editions induce an initial perception that the two pieces differ. (See Figures 1A & 1B.). With a few moments of comparison, one can see that the madrigal published under Orlande de Lassus’ name in 1584 is the same piece attributed to Andrea Gabrieli by a different publisher five years later. In fact, no difference exists in the original publications beyond incidental choices by the two publishers, such as the number of notes printed per line and the notation for repeated accidentals. 1 (See Figures 2-5 A & B.) Suppositions and Presumptions The exactness of the two publications provokes interesting questions about issues of personal composer relations and influence, study by copying, and misattribution. In exploring all the possibilities, some quite viable, others farfetched, we can perhaps gain a clearer overview of the issues involved. On the less viable side, perhaps the piece was written simultaneously by each composer and, through some miracle, the two pieces turned out to be exactly the same.

  • Keyboard Playing and the Mechanization of Polyphony in Italian Music, Circa 1600
    Keyboard Playing and the Mechanization of Polyphony in Italian Music, Circa 1600 By Leon Chisholm A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Music in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Kate van Orden, Co-Chair Professor James Q. Davies, Co-Chair Professor Mary Ann Smart Professor Massimo Mazzotti Summer 2015 Keyboard Playing and the Mechanization of Polyphony in Italian Music, Circa 1600 Copyright 2015 by Leon Chisholm Abstract Keyboard Playing and the Mechanization of Polyphony in Italian Music, Circa 1600 by Leon Chisholm Doctor of Philosophy in Music University of California, Berkeley Professor Kate van Orden, Co-Chair Professor James Q. Davies, Co-Chair Keyboard instruments are ubiquitous in the history of European music. Despite the centrality of keyboards to everyday music making, their influence over the ways in which musicians have conceptualized music and, consequently, the music that they have created has received little attention. This dissertation explores how keyboard playing fits into revolutionary developments in music around 1600 – a period which roughly coincided with the emergence of the keyboard as the multipurpose instrument that has served musicians ever since. During the sixteenth century, keyboard playing became an increasingly common mode of experiencing polyphonic music, challenging the longstanding status of ensemble singing as the paradigmatic vehicle for the art of counterpoint – and ultimately replacing it in the eighteenth century. The competing paradigms differed radically: whereas ensemble singing comprised a group of musicians using their bodies as instruments, keyboard playing involved a lone musician operating a machine with her hands.

  • The Angel of Ferrara
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by Goldsmiths Research Online The Angel of Ferrara Benjamin Woolley Goldsmith’s College, University of London Submitted for the degree of PhD I declare that the work presented in this thesis is my own Benjamin Woolley Date: 1st October, 2014 Abstract This thesis comprises two parts: an extract of The Angel of Ferrara, a historical novel, and a critical component entitled What is history doing in Fiction? The novel is set in Ferrara in February, 1579, an Italian city at the height of its powers but deep in debt. Amid the aristocratic pomp and popular festivities surrounding the duke’s wedding to his third wife, the secret child of the city’s most celebrated singer goes missing. A street-smart debt collector and lovelorn bureaucrat are drawn into her increasingly desperate attempts to find her son, their efforts uncovering the brutal instruments of ostentation and domination that gave rise to what we now know as the Renaissance. In the critical component, I draw on the experience of writing The Angel of Ferrara and nonfiction works to explore the relationship between history and fiction. Beginning with a survey of the development of historical fiction since the inception of the genre’s modern form with the Walter Scott’s Waverley, I analyse the various paratextual interventions—prefaces, authors’ notes, acknowledgements—authors have used to explore and explain the use of factual research in their works. I draw on this to reflect in more detail at how research shaped the writing of the Angel of Ferrara and other recent historical novels, in particular Hilary Mantel’s Wolf Hall.
