While some initial stylistic comparisons have been undertaken by others, these tend to focus on general issues such as texture and chord voicing without devoting detailed attention to other important structural factors. The present study exam- ines three works—Scriabin’s Prelude, Op. No. (), Rudhyar’s Surging from Mo- ments (–), and Crawford’s Prelude No. ()—taking into account stylistically relevant issues such as harmonic vocabulary, voice leading, and formal design. Because of its specificity with regard to structural factors, comparative analysis has the potential to lead to a more nuanced and more musically convincing understanding of the notion of influence during this important period in the development of American modernism. Mel Powell’s Calculus of Dynamism Jeffrey Perry Louisiana State University The accomplishments of Mel Powell (–) in both jazz and avant-garde circles are well acknowledged, as witness both his Pulitzer Prize in music and the continuing sales of jazz recordings he made in the s. His accomplishments as a theorist and pedagogue are less well documented. This paper draws on published and unpublished sources to articulate the system of kineforms that forms the centerpiece of Powell’s compo- sitional method. For Powell, music is an interplay between moments of flux and moments of crystallization; the analyst must identify the various indices of these two qualities in any given work. (In the course of music history, the predominant indices of flux and crystalli- zation changed in certain obvious ways, but remained surprisingly similar in others.) In this paper, the kineform system provides analytical insight into selected works by Powell him- self. A disconnect has evolved between analytically and theoretically oriented approaches to the post-tonal repertoire. Powell’s kineform system suggests one solution to this prob- lem, providing a system of contextual analysis that draws on a succinct set of flexible, adaptable theoretical premises with provocative connections to powerful theories, such as Schenker’s structural levels, Lewinian transformation theory, the Darcy/Hepokoski notion of rotational form, and Kurthian energetics. Abstracts Thursday afternoon COMPOSITIONAL STRATEGIES IN RENAISSANCE SACRED MUSIC (AMS) Richard Sherr, Smith College, Chair Psallite noe! Christmas Carols in the Renaissance Motet Thomas Schmidt-Beste University of Heidelberg In , Jennifer Bloxam pointed out that Johannes Regis, in his Christmas motet O admirabile commercium, was probably the first composer to incorporate popular Latin song into sophisticated art music. Bloxam also named Brumel’s Nato canunt omnia as directly emulating this practice. This is not the whole story, however – several more motets (by Bertrandus Vaqueras, Ninot le Petit, etc.) make use of similar or identical models. These compositions are unique in their time for their inclusion of popular song material, particu- larly as it is treated not in cantus firmus fashion, but in the form of direct quotation, rhythm and all. Also, a number of Franco-Flemish Christmas motets (by Obrecht, Mouton, Sermisy, etc.) contain refrains on the word “Noe” or “Noel” in similar fashion. This paper places the practice of “song-quoting” Christmas motets in a broader cultural context. For one, it is no accident that this stylistic cross-over is found exclusively in compositions linked to the one feast in which elements of popular devotion are strongest, and for which the singing of strophic Latin songs (“carols,” “noels,” etc.) is most amply documented. Their predomi- nantly Flemish and northern French provenance also points to a possible association with the devotio moderna, a lay order very influential and widespread in Holland, Flanders and neighboring territories in the fifteenth century; in its musical sources, great emphasis is placed on Christmas songs in simple polyphony which appear to be the immediate source of the motets in question. Two Early Morales Magnificats Kenneth Kreitner University of Memphis To all outward appearances, Cristóbal de Morales arrived in Rome in and began to write music then; his current earliest datable work is a motet copied in , and his publications began in the s. Yet clearly this impression cannot be right: Morales came to Rome in his mid-thirties and from prestigious chapelmaster jobs in Ávila and Plasencia, and the early Roman works show a level of sophistication that can only be born of long experience. This paper explores the pre-Roman style of Morales through two previously unpub- lished compositions, both Magnificats, preserved only in Iberian sources and clearly dating from the years before the composer’s departure from the peninsula. One is incomplete in Toledo (in a section dated ) but complete in later sources, and attributed unambigu- ously. The other is an unicum in Tarazona /, a manuscript probably copied between and , and is attributed to somebody named Morales, with an initial that has been interpreted variously as indicating Cristóbal and two minor musicians, Francisco and Rodrigo Morales. Thursday afternoon AMS/SMT Seattle Both are substantial and mature compositions; on stylistic grounds I am convinced that they are the work of the same person, and the circumstantial evidence leaves no doubt that this person must be Cristóbal. They are thus an invaluable testimony to Morales’s early career. Even more important, they show clear signs of debt to his predecessors and teachers, Escobar and Peñalosa, and explicit prefigurings of the style that would shortly make his Roman Magnificats famous around the world.

Die vorliegende Masterarbeit interpretiert das Werk ‚A Survivor from Warsaw‘ von Arnold Schönberg auf der Grundlage der von dem Historiker Konrad H. Jarausch beschriebenen Holocaust-Erinnerungskategorien „Survival Stories“, „Figures of Remembrance“ und „Public Memory Culture“. Eine Analyse des Librettos zeigt, dass dieses Werk einzelne „Survival Stories“ künstlerisch zu einer „Figure of Remembrance“ transformiert und beleuchtet die musikalische und kulturelle Aussage dieser trilingualen Textvertonung im Hinblick auf den Ausdruck von kultureller Identität. In meiner Betrachtung des Beitrages dieses Werkes zu einer „Public Memory Culture“ steht vor allem die Kulturpolitik der Siegermächte in beiden Teilen Deutschlands im Mittelpunkt, welche Aufführungen dieses Werkes im Rahmen von Umerziehungsmaßnahmen initiierten und somit ihre eigenen ideologischen Konzepte im öffentlichen Bewusstsein zu stärken versuchten. Dabei werden bislang unberücksichtigte Quellen herangezogen. Eine Betrachtung der Rezeption von ‚A Survivor from Warsaw’ im 20. und 21. Jahrhundert zeigt außerdem die Position dieses Werkes innerhalb eines kontinuierlichen Erinnerungsprozesses, welcher bestrebt ist, reflektiertes Handeln zu fördern. iii This thesis interprets Arnold Schoenberg’s A Survivor from Warsaw, op.

Bach are focused strongly on the style of Johann Pachelbel and his school. The elder brother, Johann Christoph Bach, who gave the 10 year old Johann Sebastian a new home in Ohrdruf (Thuringia) after the death of their parents, was a student of Pachelbel. Pachelbel was a good friend of Johann Ambrosius, the father of Johann Sebastian. The early works of Johann Sebastian strongly show the Pachelbel models in figuration (“der figurirte Stil”) and counterpoint. The organ works of Johann Pachelbel show the influence of Johann Caspar Kerll, who studied in Rome and where he acquired the new expressive organ style of Frescobaldi and his followers.

  • PLAYING from OPEN SCORE No. 2: KERLL's RICERCATA for a BARREL ORGAN Terence Charlston, Harpenden Kerll's Ricercata Is Offere
    PLAYING FROM OPEN SCORE No. 2: KERLL’S RICERCATA FOR A BARREL ORGAN Terence Charlston, Harpenden Kerll’s Ricercata is offered here in open score as a companion piece to Froberger’s Fantasia FbWV 206 given in Part 1 of this mini-series ( British Clavichord Society Newsletter 66, October 2016, pp. 3–9 and insert). The ‘Ricercata in Cylindrum phonotacticum transferenda … à Gasparo Kerl’ was published in open score in Athanasius Kircher’s Musurgia universalis (1650) in the fifth part of Book 9 entitled ‘Automatic musical instruments; how to power and play organs automatically’ (Crane, p. xxxiii). It appears alongside several smaller pieces presented both in open score and as a graphic representation showing how to set the pins of the rotating drum of a barrel organ. (The original can be consulted online via the IMSLP website, www.imslp.org .) Kircher develops his theme of musical automata at length and includes technical descriptions of famous water organs of his day. We will concern ourselves here with the substance of Kerll’s composition. Kircher presumably chose Kerll’s ricercata with the limitations of an automatic playing mechanism in mind: indeed, he may have commissioned it from Kerll for this specific purpose. It is certainly a short seventeenth-century fugue but within its modest structure (just over 50 bars) Kerll succinctly demonstrates (one might say, understates) the potential of a typical fugue based on three subjects. The ricercata illustrates a range of motivic and contrapuntal devices using material derived exclusively from its three subjects. Unlike the lengthy, multi-sectional variation fantasia by Froberger (FbWV 201) chosen by Kircher as ‘A Composition Suitable for the Harpsichord’ in the earlier section of his book on instruments, the ricercata follows a quite different practice, that of ‘triple’ fugue: in this case, with three subjects exposed and combined in three short sections.
