Elizabeth Farr The Harpsichord Jerome de Zentis was a consummate musical instrument-maker. He built instruments first in Rome, then in Florence for the Medici family, London as the ‘King’s Virginal Maker’, Stockholm as the instrument-maker to the court, Viterbo for the Pope, and finally in Paris for the King of France. The instrument used in this recording is one he made upon his return to Italy after ten years in Sweden as the instrument-maker royal to Queen Christina. This instrument is unusual because it is clearly an Italian instrument, but appears to have been made by a North German maker, or at least an Italian maker who was fully informed of the Northern European harpsichord-making practices and materials.

  • Peter Philips (1561-1628): Ave Verum Corpus; Surgens Jesus Dominus Peter Philips and William Byrd, Two English Composers Separat
    Peter Philips (1561-1628): Ave verum corpus; Surgens Jesus Dominus Peter Philips and William Byrd, two English composers separated in age by half a generation, were both schooled in the musical establishment of Elizabethan England, which that queen had revived following a period of neglect under Oliver Cromwell’s Commonwealth. In 1574, at fourteen, Philips was a choirboy at St. Paul’s Cathedral in London―yet eight years later he left England, never to return. He had been born into a Catholic family, and the 1580’s were unsafe years for Catholics, as the monarch was then preoccupied with what she supposed were Catholic plots against her life. Byrd, the older of the two, was also Catholic -- but Elizabeth, being quite fond of Byrd’s music, did not begrudge him his faith, with the understanding that he was to practice it in secret. Peter Philips, however, seems not to have enjoyed any such royal favor. Six years of study and employment as an organist followed Philips’ departure from England -- in Rome, France, Spain, and finally in Belgium, where, beginning in 1583, he entered into musical service to noble families and court establishments in Antwerp and Brussels, where he remained for the final thirty-five years of his career. Philips’ years in Catholic musical centers had led him to favor the compositional style of Palestrina and Victoria (called prima prattica, or first practice), which by the early 1600’s had largely been succeeded by the new and adventurous seconda prattica modernisms of Monteverdi and his contemporaries, to which Philips seems to have been only somewhat attracted, and not very strongly: seconda prattica is much more evident in Philips’ prolific keyboard works than in his choral music.

This ended around 1810 when the increasingly popular piano completely replaced the harpsichord as the standard keyboard medium. The harpsichord was brought out of antiquity during the mid-1930s in answer to a growing desire by musicians to perform baroque music on original instruments. These musicians found that this antique instrument did not play much like a piano but was something entirely different, leading a number of patient keyboard pioneers to try to recreate the technique and style of playing the harpsichord following limited and often conflicting accounts of historical witnesses and theorists. In what had begun as almost blind obedience to the score, harpsichordists were beginning to interpret the manuscript as a guideline for elaborate improvisation.

ABSTRACT Thomas Morley’s family background in Norwich and his later life in London placed him amongst the educated, urban, middle classes. Rising literacy and improving standards of living in English cities helped to develop a society in which amateur music-making became a significant leisure activity, providing a market of consumers for printed recreational music. His visit to the Low Countries in 1591 allowed him to see at first hand a thriving music printing business. Two years later he set out to achieve an income from his own music, initially by publishing collections of light, English-texted, madrigalian vocal works. He broadened his activities by obtaining a monopoly for printed music in 1598 and then by entering into a partnership with William Barley to print music.
