Firstly, my thanks to my academic supervisor, Mr. Tony Bennett (University of Sheffield) for his support and advice. I would also like to thank Professor Eric Clarke (University of Sheffield) for suggestingstandard deviation as the most suitable method for the statistical calculation of tessitura, and Dr. John Powell (University of Nottingham) and Mr. Luke Jobling BSc for confirming the scientific validity of the final statistical formula. i Elizabeth J.

This process is begun in the first chapter by discussing 'The Counter-Tenor Debate' in order to establish the method(s) of vocal production used by Purcell's counter-tenors. This in turn addressesthe issue of whether the counter-tenor was a completely different voice type from the tenor, or if they were simply high and low subdivisions of the same voice type.

I Chorus (voices, 2 oboe d’amores, flute, strings):Liebster Gott, wann werd ich sterben? II Aria (tenor, oboe d’amore): Was willst du dich, mein Geist, entsetzen? III Recitative (Alto): Zwar fühlt mein schwaches Herz IV Aria (bass, flute, strings):Doch weichet, ihr tollen, vergeblichen Sorgen V Recitative (soprano): Behalte nur, o Welt, das Meine VI Chorale: Herrscher über Tod und Leben When Bach arrived in Leipzig as Cantor and Director of Music in the spring of 1723, he set about realising his long-held ambition to attain ‘the ultimate goal of a well-regulated Church music’. This meant the daunting task of providing a piece of concerted music – a cantata – for every Sunday and feast day of the ecclesiastical year (except for Lent, where such music was suspended). Cantata 8 was written for the 16th Sunday after Trinity and first performed on 24 September 1724 (Cantata 78, which you will hear later, was written for the Sunday two weeks previously). All the cantata texts follow the binary structure of a Lutheran sermon: exegesis and explanation (set out in the opening chorus and initial recitative/arias), followed by the practical considerations of acting upon it as a Christian (succeeding recitative/ arias), and concluding with a congregational hymn (chorale) appropriate for the particular Sunday.

  • Monteverdi's Orfeo As Artistic Creed
    Ars Polemica: Monteverdi’s Orfeo as artistic creed Uri Golomb Published in Goldberg: Early Music Magazine 45 (April 2007): 44-57. The story of Orpheus is the ultimate test for any musician’s skill. By choosing to set this myth to music, composers declare themselves capable of creating music that would credibly seem to melt the hearts of beasts, humans and gods. They also reveal which style of musical writing is best suited, in their view, for expressing the most intense emotions. Three of the earliest operas are based on this myth. There is, however, a crucial difference between Ottavio Rinuccini’s Euridice, which served as libretto for two operas (by Jacopo Peri in 1600, and by Giulio Caccini in 1602), and Alessandro Striggio’s Orfeo, the libretto for Claudio Monteverdi’s first opera (1607). In the Prologue that opens Rinuccini’s opera, the Muse of Tragedy sings the virtues of pastoral dramas with happy endings. In Striggio’s Prologue, La Musica proclaims her powers to move human souls. In both cases, the prologues set the tone for the remainder of the drama: music and its power are much more central in Striggio’s libretto than they are in Rinuccini’s. Striggio’s emphasis fitted well with Monteverdi’s own philosophy. At the time of Orfeo, the composer was participating in a heated debate on the nature and power of music. He did so concisely and reluctantly, promising a theoretical treatise and then failing to deliver. His theoretical statements, then and later, are complemented by his settings of several texts that focus on music, its style and its powers, Orfeo being the most ambitious.

  • Decca Discography
    DECCA DISCOGRAPHY >>4 GREAT BRITAIN: digital, 1979-2008 In the early 1970s the advent of Anthony Rooley, the Consort of Musicke, Emma Kirkby, Christopher Hogwood and the Academy of Ancient Music brought a fresh look at repertoire from Dowland to Purcell, Handel, Mozart and eventually Beethoven. Solti recorded with the LPO from 1972 and the National Philharmonic was booked regularly from 1974-84. Also during the 1970s the London Sinfonietta’s surveys of Schönberg and Janá ček were recorded. Ashkenazy’s second career as a conductor centred initially on London, with the Philharmonia from 1977 and the RPO from 1987. Philip Pickett’s New London Consort joined the Florilegium roster in 1985 and Argo’s new look brought in a variety of ensembles in the 1990s. But after an LPO Vaughan Williams cycle was aborted in 1997, Decca’s own UK recordings comprised little more than piano music and recital discs. Outside London, Argo recorded regularly in Cambridge and Oxford. Decca engaged the Welsh National Opera from 1980-96 and the Bournemouth Symphony from 1990-96, but otherwise made little use of regional British orchestras. By the time they raised their performing standards to an acceptable level, Chandos, Hyperion and Naxos had largely replaced the old majors in the market for orchestral sessions. >RV0 VENUES One hundred and seventy different venues were used, eighty-eight in the London area and eighty-two elsewhere in Britain, but only one in ten (those in bold ) hosted thirty or more entries, whilst seventy were only visited once. LONDON AREA ABBEY ROAD STUDIOS , St.John’s Wood, London NW8 (1931), initially restricted to EMI labels, were opened to all from 1968.
