  • Ton Koopman Marks Telemann's 250Thanniversary at the 16Th Itinéraire Baroque Festival
    Ton Koopman marks Telemann’s 250thanniversary at the 16th Itinéraire Baroque festival Launch concert: 13 May Itinéraire Baroque Festival French Perigord 27 – 31 July www.itinerairebaroque.com At this summer’s Itinéraire Baroque, Ton Koopman is marking the 250th anniversary of German composer Georg Philipp Telemann during his annual festival in the Dordogne. The composer’s works form the backbone of the 4-day programme alongside Koopman’s trademark Bach Cantatas with the Amsterdam Baroque Choir and Orchestra. Set in the picturesque medieval villages and towns around Riberac, the festival runs from Thursday 27 July to Sunday 30 July 2017. The annual highlight is the Saturday ‘itinéraire’, starting with an organ recital by Koopman followed by five ‘taster’ concerts - in circuit that takes in small forgotten Romanesque churches. The performers remain in the same church offering a 40-minute concert to each group of concert-goers, while audiences travel between the churches in search of the next baroque “amuse-bouche”. One of the great composers of the baroque period, Telemann (1681-1712) was a lifelong friend of Johann Sebastian Bach and godfather to Bach’s child, Carl Philipp Emanuel. Although he was almost completely self-taught, Telemann is one of the most prolific composers in music history, having left an oeuvre of more than 3,000 works (only half have survived), including 35 operas. Starting his professional career regularly composing for the Thomaskirche in Leipzig, he became director of the city’s opera house. Prodigiously productive, Telemann supplied a wealth of new music for Leipzig, including several operas, one of which was his first major opera, Germanicus.

  • Dieterich Buxtehude's Membra Jesu Nostri: an Historical Overview, Analysis and Conducting Guide by Youn Ju Kim a Research Pa
    Dieterich Buxtehude’s Membra Jesu Nostri: An historical overview, analysis and conducting guide by Youn Ju Kim A Research Paper Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Musical Arts Approved March 2012 by the Graduate Supervisory Committee: Gregory Gentry, Chair Gary Hill William Reber Rodney Rogers Timothy Russell ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY May 2012 ABSTRACT Dieterich Buxtehude (ca. 1637-1707) is known for his many organ works. However, no significant portion of his choral music is in the standard performing repertoire. Buxtehude’s large-scale choral work Membra Jesu Nostri should be considered a seminal “passion” composition in part because of its historic position in early German Lutheran church music. It also serves as an example of the heightened levels of affect in a seventeenth century devotional passion. To better understand Buxtehude and his music, an overview of his life, career and religious beliefs are discussed, including the incorporation of pietism and mysticism in his cantata, Membra Jesu Nostri. Details of the composition’s structure, unifying thematic elements and text sources with translations are included. Historical performance practices are discussed, including the composer’s probable intent of having one of the seven cantatas performed every day before Easter. This research study also provides conductors with a variety of practical performance considerations. Through these observations, it will be shown that Buxtehude’s Membra Jesu Nostri is one of the most well-conceived and well-constructed choral works of the early Baroque era. i DEDICATION In nomine Jesu, Soli Deo Gloria (In the name of Jesus, to God alone be the glory) And to my parents Kim, Ha Sub and Lee, Jung Ji My love and respect will always be with you.
