The German Cantata Before Bach In Germany, Lutheran composers adapted the genre that had originated in Italy as a secular work intended for aristocratic chamber settings. Defined loosely as a work for one or more voices with independent instrumental accompaniment, usually in discrete sections, and employing the ‘theatrical’ style of opera, the Italian cantata it was originally modest in scope—usually comprising no more than a couple of recitative-aria pairs, with an accompaniment of basso continuo. By the 1700s, however, it had begun to include other instruments, and had grown to include multiple, contrasting movements. Italian composers occasionally wrote sacred cantatas, though not for liturgical use. In Germany, however, Lutheran composers adapted the genre for use in the main weekly service, where it subsumed musical elements already present: the concerted motet and the chorale.

Froberger’s fantasias and canzonas are amongst his most beautifully crafted yet most neglected works. They survive together with toccatas and partitas in a meticulously written autograph manuscript, the Libro Secondo, dated 19 September 1649 (A-Wn Mus.Hs.18706). They have been selectively performed and recorded in recent times on organ and harpsichord, but hardly at all on the clavichord. A recording on clavichord was clearly needed but until recently I had not come across an instrument which I felt was equal to the task. Then, in 2018, quite by chance, I discovered the clavichord used in these performances. It is a reconstruction of a south German clavichord now in the Berlin Musical Instrument Museum (hereafter referred to by the catalogue number of the original, MIM 2160) and was made by Andreas Hermert in 2009.

  • Keyboard Music Is
    Seventeenth-Century Keyboard Music in Dutch- and German-Speaking Europe David Schulenberg (2004, updated 2021) Keyboard music is central to our understanding of the Baroque, particularly in northern Europe, whose great church organs were among the technological and artistic wonders of the age. This essay treats of the distinctive traditions of keyboard music in Germany, Austria, and the Netherlands before the time of Johann Sebastian Bach and other eighteenth-century musicians. Baroque keyboard music followed in a continuous tradition that of the sixteenth century, when for the first time major composers such as William Byrd (1543–1623) in England and Andrea Gabrieli (ca. 1510–1586) in Italy had created repertories of original keyboard music equal in stature to their contributions in other genres. Such compositions joined improvised music and arrangements of vocal and instrumental works as the foundations of keyboard players' repertories. Nevertheless, the actual practice of keyboard players during the Baroque continued to comprise much improvisation. Keyboard players routinely accompanied other musicians, providing what is called the basso continuo through the improvised realization of a figured bass.1 On the relatively rare occasions when solo keyboard music was heard in public, it often took the form of improvised preludes and fantasias, as in church services and the occasional public organ recital. Hence, much of the Baroque repertory of written compositions for solo keyboard instruments consists of idealized improvisations. The capacity of keyboard instruments for self-sufficient polyphonic playing also made them uniquely suited for the teaching and study of composition. Thus a second large category of seventeenth-century keyboard music comprises models for good composition, especially in learned, if somewhat archaic, styles of counterpoint.

  • I Know My Faith Is Founded” (Lutheran Service Book #587)
    Proper 22/20th Sunday after Pentecost (Series C) “I Know My Faith Is Founded” (Lutheran Service Book #587) After Jesus says some words about stumbling and sinning and the need to forgive someone who sins and is repentant – all recorded at the beginning of Luke 17, his followers say “Increase our faith!” (Luke 17:5). The exclamation point is right there in the NRSV, so these words are a command, or an urgent plea. The disciples say them in response to the words about stumbling and sinning, apparently understanding that they are not strong enough to resist opportunities to stumble or temptations to sin. Erdmann Neumeister, the late 17th and early 18th century poet, puts all that in the person of Satan at the beginning of stanza two of his chorale, “I Know My Faith Is Founded.” But before we get there, we must linger a bit with the words of stanza one. Here the singer makes a bold statement of faith, sounding like Peter in some of his rash moments recounted in the Gospels. “I know . unmoved I stand . my faith shall rest secure.” These are bold words that we sing. Then stanza two begins, and things shift quickly. Increase my faith, dear Savior, for Satan seeks by night and day to rob me of this treasure and take my hope of bliss away. Neumeister puts into Satan, who Luther named “the ancient foe,” all the things that trouble our faith. With all that we encounter, whether it’s the temptation to trust in our own reason and strength, or the evil we see and hear in our world, we know we must echo the Lukan disciples and cry “increase my faith!” This week, in the news, we saw and heard about stabbings at a mall in Minnesota with nine people injured, and about bombs in New Jersey and New York injuring 29, and about a cease fire unravelling in Syria.

    The Society for Seventeenth­Century Music Eighth Annual Conference Vermillion, South Dakota April 27-30, 2000 ABSTRACTS (in alphabetical order by author) SPANISH NUN MUSICIANS: EARLY MODERN CAREER GIRLS? Colleen R. Baade Lincoln, Nebraska This paper examines the social situation of Spanish nun musicians at women’s monasteries in Madrid, Segovia, Toledo, and Valladolid during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Sources for my study include contracts for reception and profession of nun musicians whose dowries were waived or reduced in exchange for their service as musician, and monastery account books which show that some religious communities paid regular monetary stipends to sister musicians. I will address the question of just what a girl’s musical ability was worth and discuss ways in which the duties of and compensation to nun musicians changed from the beginning of the seventeenth century to the end of the eighteenth. It has been contended that a position as convent musician constituted one of very few “career opportunities” available to women in early modern Europe, but documentary evidence suggests that the majority of girls who received dowry waivers were prepared from early childhood by parents or guardians to become nun musicians because their families had no other means of paying a nun’s dowry, let alone any prospects for securing a suitable marriage. The demands placed upon “hired” nun musicians were probably quite heavy, and most of these women, unless prevented by illness or old age, were expected to serve as convent musicians their entire lives. In one case, a nun whose age and ailment prevented her from playing was required to refund part of the dowry that had been waived for her in order to be released from her duties as convent musician.
