  • Is Bach Best? | Gramophone.Co.Uk
    Is Bach best? Was Bach a genius? Or simply a superb technical craftsman? Simon Heighes tries to pin down Bach's genius with a little help from some friends On one thing most musicians are generally agreed: Bach was probably the greatest of all. Explaining his elusive genius, though, is not so easy. Asked why, in Dylan Thomas's words, 'Bach is best', even seasoned professionals find themselves struggling. 'It's impossible,' says Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau. 'His music is the language of the soul, so we can never fully understand him.' Soprano Nancy Argenta is prepared to have a go, though. 'The key to Bach is the spiritual dimension. He was further along the line of godliness than most of us. For me, Bach is a seer, a wise man, a beacon along the path.' For conductor Helmuth Rilling — who has recorded more music by Bach than most — his genius had a more earthly foundation. 'He was the great consolidator, summing up the best of what had gone before, refining the best ideas of his own time.' The true extent of Bach's genius, Rilling believes, is only now becoming apparent. It's not enough, he says, simply to look at Bach's own work alone. 'He's the teacher par excellence. His music has influenced every later generation of composers and musicians — a heritage that continues right up to our own time. My friend Krzysztof Penderecki told me that without Bach he would never have written his own St Luke Passion.' Canadian pianist Angela Hewitt marvels at the way Bach's music still sounds so fresh and vital.

    MISSA PAPAE MARCELLI: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE KYRIE AND GLORIA MOVEMENTS OF GIOVANNI PIERLUIGI DA PALESTRINA AND AN ADAPTATION BY GIOVAN NI FRANCESCO ANERIO Michael J. Moore, B.M.E. Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF MUSIC UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS May 2006 APPROVED: Graham Phipps, Major Professor Frank Heidlberger, Committee Member Thomas Sovik, Committee Member James C. Scott, Dean of the College of Music Sandra L. Terrell, Dean of the Robert B. Toulouse School of Graduate Studies Moore, Michael J., Missa Papae Marcelli: A Comparative Analysis of the Kyrie and Gloria Movements of Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina and an Adaptation by Giovanni Francesco Anerio. Master of Music (Music Theory), May 2006, 81 pp., 51 examples, 28 bibliographic references. My comparative analysis of Missa Papae Marcelli includes discussion about the historical significance of Palestrina’s contribution to church music reform with regard to Marcello Cervini’s reforms in church doctrine. The compositional techniques and adherence to clarity of text are important aspects of Palestrina’s music that have earned him the title “savior” of polyphonic music. The comparative analysis will begin with a detailed study of Palestrina’s compositional method including an examination of voice leading, text setting, and cadence types. These compositional techniques will be compared to Anerio’s 1619 adaptation of the Palestrina model. An examination of Anerio’s adaptation illustrates how changes in composition shift from a contrapuntal design with elided phrases to a harmonic design with regular phrase structures. Adaptive techniques include both borrowed and newly composed material. Borrowed material includes introductory statements and closing gestures; however, much of the body of each movement is altered and shortened.

  • “Die Heimat Meiner Seele”: the Significance of Pfitzner's Palestrina
    “Die Heimat meiner Seele”: The Significance of Pfitzner’s Palestrina for Thomas Mann’s Doktor Faustus. 1 Ein fabelhaft deutsches, eigenherrliches und gedankenvolles Werk, etwas Spätes und Letztes aus der wagnerisch-schopenhaurischen, der romantischen Sphäre, die eben doch eigentlich die Heimat meiner Seele ist.2 The Italian town of Palestrina lies between Buchel and Pfeffering in the symbolic structure of Thomas Mann’s Doctor Faustus. With the Manardi family Adrian Leverkühn finds his first surrogate home, before returning to Germany to find a mirror image of his native Buchel in Pfeffering outside of Munich. Hans Mayer and others have noted the extent to which Palestrina is imbued with associations for Mann (Mayer 297-298). Here Thomas and his brother Heinrich worked on their earliest masterpieces, Buddenbrooks and Die kleine Stadt, cementing the association of this town with artistic endeavour and the young men’s decision to become writers.3 The town itself represented a continuity of European culture from its ancient foundations, predating Roman Praeneste as a site of the goddess Fortuna Hygeia, becoming the medieval Penestrino, home town and fortress of the Colonna family whose fates were bound up with the history of the Papacy and the Empire, referred to by Dante in Canto twenty-seven of the Inferno, and late nineteenth-century Italian “kleine Stadt,” the setting of brother Heinrich Mann’s novel about the stresses of modernity in a traditional, popular democracy. The great papal composer Pierluigi Palestrina, saviour of medieval polyphony, adopted the name of his birthplace, and the late romantic German composer, Hans Pfitzner, who would exert a powerful influence on Thomas Mann at the time of the First World War, based his most successful work, the opera Palestrina, on the figure of the composer.

    AGNUS DEI (from Missa Papae Marcelli) Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina (1562) 2 AGNUS DEI from Missa Papae Marcelli (Pope Marcellus Mass) By Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina (Italy) Renaissance (1562) LESSON INTRODUCTION Important Terms and Concepts • Timbre: the “color” or quality of sound • Sacred Music: music that was intended for use in a religious setting • Texture: the way in which the melodies, harmonies, and rhythms of a piece are structured or layered • Monophonic: one melodic line only • Homophonic: one main melodic line supported by chords/harmonies • Polyphonic: more than one independent melodic line BEHIND THE MUSIC Giovanni Pierluigi (c. 1525 – 1594) was born in Palestrina, Italy, during the Renaissance. Not much is known about Giovanni’s early life, but it is said that he sold his family farm products on the streets of Rome and would sing songs while he walked around the streets. The choirmaster of Santa Maria heard his impressive vocal talents and started training him in music. Choral music was widely popular, and many composers, including Palestrina, lived their lives attached to the service of the church. At the time, many people felt that music in the church had become too secular. The Pope met with church officials to discuss the situation; and it was suggested that all music be removed except the old Gregorian chant. Legend has copyright 2016 Shreveport Symphony Orchestra www.shreveportsymphony.com 3 it that Palestrina was commissioned to write a choral mass as a test case. The result was Missa Papae Marcelli (the Mass of Pope Marcellus), a work so beautiful that it influenced officials to vote in favor of keeping music.

  • Conversations with the Past: Hans Pfitzner's" Palestrina" As a Neo
    Conversations with the Past: Hans Pfitzner’s Palestrina as a Neo-Renaissance Opera A thesis submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Music in the Division of Composition, Musicology, and Theory of the College-Conservatory of Music by Alexander Kroger B.M.E. Indiana University June 2016 Committee Chair: Stephen C. Meyer, PhD Abstract This thesis examines Act I of Hans Pfitzner’s (1869-1949) seminal opera Palestrina (1916) and the ways in which the composer references and revives Renaissance style in this work. This project outlines the concept of a “neo-Renaissance” style by placing Pfitzner’s opera in the context of early twentieth-century Germany. Pfitzner’s musical training, particularly at the Hoch Conservatory, underscores the development of his anti-modernist polemics that continually appeared throughout his music. Contextualizing Pfitzner and Palestrina within the Weimar Republic and the Third Reich affords a better understanding of how his personal politics and anti-Semitic tendencies factored into his compositional style. Finally, this thesis examines reception of Palestrina, both during and after Pfitzner’s lifetime. Comparing reviews of the opera at two points in the twentieth century—the 1920s and 1990s—will help to demonstrate when Pfitzner enjoyed his greatest levels of popularity, and why this remained limited even at its height. ii iii Acknowledgements This thesis would not exist in its current form without the help of several people. First, I owe many thanks to my advisor, Dr. Stephen C. Meyer, who helped guide my critical thinking and research throughout this process.
