The co-existenceof the art of 'strict' counterpointand of the evolvementof the traits of the stile modernoand the experimentationresulting from Vicentino'stheories con- stitutesa compositephenomenon in regardto music in southernItaly. Giovanni Pietro Del Buono is one of the composerswho incorporatesand mergesall the aboveelements in a very artful and fascinatingcollection of seventy-twocanons; twelve oblighi and fourteensonatas, all basedon the hymn Ave Maris Stellawhich is usedas a cantusfirmus. The conceptof artificioso compositions,which depictsmusic as an art with an important intellectual side, reflects the scientific development and supremacy of intellectual culture in the seventeenth century. Many collections containing pieces composed with particularly complex compositional techniques appeared at that time. In the present thesis a collection so far overlooked is examined and conclusions are drawn concerning Del Buono's particular compositional idiom. An analytical ac- count of the canons and oblighi proves that. they are not only products of the stile antico and of the Roman school, but have influences from both the traits of the stile moderno and the Neapolitan musical idiom. A detailed account is provided of some of the sonatas, revealing techniques related to hexachordal theory and Vicentino's theories concerning chromaticism. Also proved is the fact that the manuscript con- taining the resolutions of the canons and oblighi is not an original manuscript by Del Buono, as scholars have previously stated, but is, in fact, from a later date, written by an unknown scribe.In the second part of the thesis an edition is included of the whole collection in modem transcription.

  • The Seven Penitential Psalms
    The Seven Penitential Psalms (translation- The Grail Psalter) Ad privatum usum Cathedral of Saint Paul Saint Paul, MN Cathedral of Saint Paul 239 Selby Avenue Saint Paul MN 55102 Image of Cassiodorus from a 12thc English Manuscript The ancient tradition in the Church of the Penitential Psalmody (Psalms 6, 32, 38, 51, 102, 130, and 143) is rich. In the 5th century writings of Possidius, we learn that Saint Augustine: …ordered the Davidic Psalms, which are few in number concerning penance, to be copied for him, and lying in bed he used to look at those pages which had been placed on the opposite wall and read them, and wept profusely and con- tinuously (Vita S. Augustini, xxxi) The first unequivocal reference to the seven “penitential” psalms as a group dates back to Cassiodorus (d. 580 A.D.), in his Expositio Psalmorum. In his masterful commentary on the last psalm (143), he On the Front Cover. Uriah the Hittite receives a letter from wrote of the “course of their blessed tears” that has just been com- King David. Secret orders in the letter direct that Uriah, husband of pleted, noting that the journey that begins in affliction, leads us “to Bathsheba, be sent to the “forefront of the hottest battle... that the hope of joys.” he may be smitten and die.” Overpainted woodcut depicts a scene from the Old Testament book of 2 Samuel, Chapter 11. Prior to Vatican II, these psalms found a place in the Church’s litur- Paris, ca.1510 A.D.. Latin text shown is taken from the open- gical and sacramental tradition, and their recovery as a tradition ing lines of Psalm 6.

  • Frescobaldi Gesualdo Solbiati
    Frescobaldi Gesualdo Solbiati FRANCESCO GESUALDI Accordion Girolamo Frescobaldi (1583 -1643) If we think of the theatre as a place in which audiences not only perceive with their eyes and ears, but also their deeper feelings, then the work presented in this recording Dal II Libro di Toccate is in many respects theatrical. The explanation lies in the fact that one of Francesco 1. Toccata I 4’42 Gesualdi’s particular gifts as a performer is his ability to produce sounds that conjure 2. Toccata II 4’44 up the action underlying the music, and indeed evoke the spaces in which the events 3. Toccata III, da sonarsi alla Levatione 8’51 take place. This is particularly noteworthy when performance is actually separated 4. Toccata IV, da sonarsi alla Levatione 6’58 from the reality of visualization. 5. Toccata VIII, di Durezze e Ligature 5’01 The synaesthetic experience underlying vision and visionary perception is arguably one of the fundamental ingredients of the “Second Practice”, or stile moderno, which Dal I Libro di Toccate aimed at engaging the feelings of the listener. This art was essential to the evocative 6. Partite sopra l'Aria della Romanesca (1–14) 21’49 power of Frescobaldi’s music. In his performance Francesco Gesualdi establishes a particular spatial and temporal Carlo Gesualdo (1566–1613) universe in which the constraints of absolute formal rigour are reconciled with 7. Canzon francese del Principe 6’40 freedom of accentuation and vital breath, so as to invest each execution with the immediacy of originality. In this ability to renew with each rendering, Gesualdi’s Alessandro Solbiati (1956) playing speaks for the way wonderment can forge the essential relationship between 8.

    Volume 20, Number 2, June 2014 Copyright © 2014 Society for Music Theory Genus, Species and Mode in Vicentino’s 31-tone Compositional Theory Jonathan Wild NOTE: The examples for the (text-only) PDF version of this item are available online at: http://www.mtosmt.org/issues/mto.14.20.2/mto.14.20.2.wild.php KEYWORDS: Vicentino, enharmonicism, chromaticism, sixteenth century, tuning, genus, species, mode ABSTRACT: This article explores the pitch structures developed by Nicola Vicentino in his 1555 treatise L’Antica musica ridotta alla moderna prattica . I examine the rationale for his background gamut of 31 pitch classes, and document the relationships among his accounts of the genera, species, and modes, and between his and earlier accounts. Specially recorded and retuned audio examples illustrate some of the surviving enharmonic and chromatic musical passages. Received February 2014 Table of Contents Introduction [1] Tuning [4] The Archicembalo [8] Genus [10] Enharmonic division of the whole tone [13] Species [15] Mode [28] Composing in the genera [32] Conclusion [35] Introduction [1] In his treatise of 1555, L’Antica musica ridotta alla moderna prattica (henceforth L’Antica musica ), the theorist and composer Nicola Vicentino describes a tuning system comprising thirty-one tones to the octave, and presents several excerpts from compositions intended to be sung in that tuning. (1) The rich compositional theory he develops in the treatise, in concert with the few surviving musical passages, offers a tantalizing glimpse of an alternative pathway for musical development, one whose radically augmented pitch materials make possible a vast range of novel melodic gestures and harmonic successions.

  • 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.

However, modern vocalists in the United States often overlook or misrepresent Indigenous features in performances of New Spanish repertoire. Vocalists typically must make choices about vocal techniques alone and, largely for lack of resources, in uninformed ways.
