LEAVER While researching English church music repertoire of the early nineteenth century as represented in published anthologies, I came across an edition of the ‘Crucifixus ’ from the B minor Mass that does not appear to have been discussed in Bach literature. 2 It is found in the second volume of Sacred Minstrelsy published in London in 1835, that is, a year or so after the publication of the Clavierauszug of the complete work by Simrock & Nägeli in Bonn and Zurich, 3 but ten years before these publishers issued it in the second 1 This paper was originally given at the Bach Colloquium at Harvard University, May 2003, and, slightly revised, at the 3rd Dialogue meeting of Bach Network UK meeting in Oxford, January 2008; it has been further revised for its inclusion here. 2 There is no discussion or reference to it in the primary articles on early English Bach reception: F.

    John Stanley, “A Miracle of Art and Nature”: The Role of Disability in the Life and Career of a Blind Eighteenth-Century Musician by John Richard Prescott Doctor of Philosophy in Music in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Davitt Moroney, Chair Professor James Davies Professor Susan Schweik Fall 2011 Abstract John Stanley, “A Miracle of Art and Nature”: The Role of Disability in the Life and Career of a Blind Eighteenth-Century Musician by John Richard Prescott Doctor of Philosophy in Music University of California, Berkeley Professor Davitt Moroney, Chair This dissertation explores the life and career of John Stanley, an eighteenth-century blind organist, composer, conductor and impresario. Most historians of blindness discuss Stanley but merely repeat biographical material without adding any particular insights relating to his blindness. As for twentieth-century musicologists, they have largely ignored Stanley’s blindness. The conclusion is that Stanley’s blindness, despite being present in most of his reception, is not treated as a defining factor. This study pursues new questions about Stanley’s blindness. His disability is given pride of place, and perspectives from the fields of disability studies and minority studies are central to the work. A biographical sketch precedes a discussion of the role of Stanley’s blindness in his reception. The central role of Stanley’s amanuensis and sister-in-law, Anne Arlond, leads to a discussion of issues of gender, and the general invisibility of caregivers. Chapter 2 explores those aspects of Stanley’s life that required an engagement with literate music.

  • Robert Shay (University of Missouri)
    Manuscript Culture and the Rebuilding of the London Sacred Establishments, 1660- c.17001 By Robert Shay (University of Missouri) The opportunity to present to you today caused me to reflect on the context in which I began to study English music seriously. As a graduate student in musicology, I found myself in a situation I suspect is rare today, taking courses mostly on Medieval and Renaissance music. I learned to transcribe Notre Dame polyphony, studied modal theory, and edited Italian madrigals, among other pursuits. I had come to musicology with a background in singing and choral conducting, and had grown to appreciate—as a performer—what I sensed were the unique characteristics of English choral music of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. It was a seminar on the stile antico that finally provided an opportunity to bring together earlier performing and newer research interests. I had sung a few of Henry Purcell’s polyphonic anthems (there really are only a few), liked them a lot, and wondered if they were connected to earlier music by Thomas Tallis, William Byrd, and others, music which I soon came to learn Purcell knew himself. First for the above-mentioned seminar and then for my dissertation, I cast my net broadly, trying to learn as much as I could about Purcell and his connections to earlier English music. I quickly came to discover that the English traditions were, in almost every respect, distinct from the Continental ones I had been studying, ranging from how counterpoint was taught (or not taught) 1 This paper was delivered at a March 2013 symposium at Western Illinois University with the title, “English Cathedral Music and the Persistence of the Manuscript Tradition.” The present version includes some subsequent revisions and a retitling that I felt more accurately described the paper.

  • Thomas Morley and the Business of Music in Elizabethan England
    THOMAS MORLEY AND THE BUSINESS OF MUSIC IN ELIZABETHAN ENGLAND by TERESA ANN MURRAY A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Music College of Arts and Law The University of Birmingham September 2010 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

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.

  • Edmund Hooper: a Study of His Style Compared to Orlando Gibbons and Prevailing Tudor Polyphony
    ALLRED II, EDWARD WILLIAM, D.M.A. Edmund Hooper: A Study of His Style Compared to Orlando Gibbons and Prevailing Tudor Polyphony. (2008) Directed by Welborn E. Young. 72 pp. Edmund Hooper (1553–1621) held a prominent place among church musicians of his generation. He became Master of the Choristers at Westminster Abbey in 1588 and organist of the Chapel Royal in 1615, holding both positions until his death in 1621. Additionally, most of the surviving manuscript sources of pre-Restoration English liturgical music contain his compositions. Twentieth- and twenty-first-century reception of his music, however, is limited, published editions of his anthems are rare, and choirs seldom perform his music. The main focus of the study is a comparative analysis of an anthem by Hooper and another by Orlando Gibbons, the leading composer of that generation. This study includes a description of the prevailing characteristics of Tudor polyphony, providing a point of reference for comparison to Hooper’s style of composition. Additionally, the document addresses the issues pertaining to the editing of Tudor church music and includes a reference score of Hooper’s anthem, I will magnify Thee O Lord. Hooper’s method of text setting, his harmonic language, and his contrapuntal part writing is consistent with the characteristics common to other anthems of the Tudor period. The style analysis of his anthem revealed Hooper’s advanced control of dissonance and rhythm in middle and large dimensions which parallels that of his contemporary, Gibbons. EDMUND HOOPER: A STUDY OF HIS STYLE COMPARED TO ORLANDO GIBBONS AND PREVAILING TUDOR POLYPHONY by Edward William Allred, II A Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School at The University of North Carolina at Greensboro in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Musical Arts Greensboro 2008 Approved by Welborn E.

Born in the early years of the reign of George III, Wesley died in the first months of the reign of Victoria. He saw equally momentouschanges in music. As a child he was taught by musicians who rememberedand in some cases had played for Handel; in adult life, he witnessedthe introduction of the music of Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoveninto England, and late in his career saw the visits to London of Liszt, Weber, and Mendelssohn. Wesley's life on both a personal and professionallevel was highly unconventional.Born into the first family of Methodism - his father was the hymn-writer Charles Wesley (1708-88), his uncle was John Wesley (1703-91) - he converted in his teens to Roman Catholicism and spent most of his life alienated from his family and from his Methodist upbringing. His marriage to Charlotte Louisa Martin in 1793 followed years of family opposition and a period when the couple lived togetherunmarried. In 1810 he left her for his teenagehousekeeper, with whom he lived until his death. His professional career was brilliant but uneven,bedevilled by periods of mental illness which left him incapacitatedfor long periods.
