The ensemble concentrates on research into an historically appropriate instrumentarium, sometimes experimenting with new ways of using instruments well described in historical sources but often ignored in performance practice today. The copies of historical instru- ments used are as faithful as possible to their originals. The intention of the ensemble is to make the beauty and affective richness of the music of this period accessible in an authentic and intuitive way. Instrumenta Musica is closely connected with the Frauenkirche in Dresden, where the ensemble has regu- larly played since 2006 during the parish fairs, mostly performing works by Heinrich Schütz. Instrumenta Musica also works regularly with Officium (Wilfried Rombach), the chamber choir of the Dresden Frauenkirche directed by cantor Matthias Grünert, Sächsisches Vokalensemble (Matthias Jung) and Les Amis de Philippe (Ludger Rémy). ERCOLE NISINI is one of the most sought-after trombonists playing on historical instruments. After having studied modern trombone with Abbie Conant in Trossingen and holding a position in the Orchestra Sinfonica di Milano under the direction of Riccardo Chailly he fully dedicated himself to historical performance practice. He completed his studies of historical trombone with Wim Becu at the Institut für Alte Musik in Trossingen with dis- tinction. His interest in, and passion for, the repertoire and the instrumentarium of the late Renaissance and the early Baroque periods led him in 2004 to found the ensemble Instrumenta Musica. Ercole Nisini has performed in numerous concerts, CD and broadcast recordings throughout Europe with ensembles such as La Petite Bande, Marini Consort Innsbruck, Orchestre des Champs-Élysées, Moderntimes_1800, Capriccio Stravagante, Weser-Renaissance, and Musica Fiata. The central aim of his work is to rediscover and revive the trombone repertoire from the Renaissance to the Romantic period using original instruments – or faithful copies of them – and appropriate playing techniques. 6 INSTRUMENTA MUSICA ist ein auf Musik der Spätrenaissance und des Frühbarock aus dem deutschen und ita- lienischen Sprachraum spezialisiertes Ensemble mit Schwerpunkt auf der Entdeckung und Wiederaufführung von bisher unbeachtetem Repertoire. Gleichermaßen widmet sich das Ensemble der Erforschung des entspre- chenden historischen musikalischen Instrumentariums und benutzt dabei in manchmal ungewohnter Weise Instrumente, die zwar in historischen Quellen oft beschrieben sind, doch heutzutage in der Regel kaum Verwendung finden. Die verwendeten Kopien historischer Instrumente sind so nah wie möglich an ihre origi- nalen Vorlagen angelehnt. Das Ziel des Ensembles ist es, auf authentische Weise die Schönheit und den affekt- vollen Reichtum der Musik dieser Epoche unmittelbar zugänglich und in unserer heutigen Zeit wieder lebendig zu machen. Eine besondere Beziehung verbindet Instrumenta Musica mit der Frauenkirche in Dresden. Seit 2006 führt das Ensemble dort anlässlich der Kirchweihfeste vor allem Werke von Heinrich Schütz auf. Ferner arbeitet Instrumenta Musica regelmäßig mit dem Ensemble Officium (Wilfried Rombach), dem Kammerchor der Dresdner Frauenkirche unter Leitung von Kantor Matthias Grünert, dem Sächsischen Vokalensemble (Matthias Jung) und mit Les Amis de Philippe (Ludger Rémy) zusammen. ERCOLE NISINI ist einer der gefragtesten Posaunisten auf historischen Instrumenten. Nach seinem Studium der modernen Posaune bei Abbie Conant in Trossingen und seinem Engagement beim Orchestra Sinfonica di Milano unter der Leitung von Riccardo Chailly hat er sich der historischen Aufführungspraxis gewidmet. Sein Studium der historischen Posaune bei Wim Becu am Institut für Alte Musik in Trossingen hat er mit Auszeichnung abge- schlossen. Sein Interesse und die Leidenschaft für das Repertoire und das Instrumentarium der Spätrenaissance und des Frühbarock haben ihn 2004 zur Gründung des Ensembles Instrumenta Musica geführt. Ercole Nisini hat zahlreiche Konzerte, CD-Aufnahmen und Rundfunkmitschnitte in ganz Europa mit Ensembles wie La Petite Bande, Marini Consort Innsbruck, Orchestre des Champs-Élysées, Moderntimes_1800, Capriccio Stravagante, Weser-Renaissance, Musica Fiata und anderen gespielt. Ziel der Arbeit von Ercole Nisini ist es, das Repertoire für Posaune von der Renaissance bis zur Romantik durch die Benutzung von originalen Instrumenten oder originalgetreuen Kopien unter Anwendung adäquater Spieltechniken neu zu beleben und wiedererklingen zu lassen. 7 L'ensemble INSTRUMENTA MUSICA se consacre essentiellement aux musiques allemande et italienne de la fin de la Renaissance et du début de la période baroque, et plus particulièrement aux œuvres méconnues. L'ensemble effectue des recherches sur l'instrumentarium historique, explorant des techniques instrumentales décrites dans les sources historiques mais souvent ignorées dans les pratiques d'exécution actuelles. Les copies d'instruments qu'ils utilisent sont aussi fidèles que possible aux originaux. Le propos de l'ensemble est de rendre accessible la beauté et la richesse d'affects de cette musique d'une manière authentique et intuitive. Instrumenta Musica a tissé des liens particuliers avec la Frauenkirche de Dresde : l'ensemble y joue réguliè- rement depuis 2006 aux fêtes paroissiales où il interprète principalement les œuvres de Heinrich Schütz. Instrumenta Musica travaille de façon régulière avec Officium (Wilfried Rombach), avec le chœur de chambre de la Frauenkirche de Dresde dirigé par le cantor Matthias Grünert, avec le Sächsisches Vokalensemble (Matthias Jung) et avec Les Amis de Philippe (Ludger Rémy). ERCOLE NISINI est l'un des trombonistes les plus demandés sur instruments anciens. Après ses études de trom- bone moderne avec Abbie Conant à Trossingen et son engagement par l'Orchestra Sinfonica di Milano sous la direction de Riccardo Chailly, il se consacre aux pratiques d'exécution historiques. Il achève avec distinction ses études de trombone ancien avec Wim Becu à l'Institut für Alte Musik de Trossingen. Son intérêt et sa passion pour le répertoire et l'instrumentarium de la fin de la Renaissance et du début de la période baroque le conduisent à fonder en 2004 l'ensemble Instrumenta Musica. Ercole Nisini participe à de nombreux concerts, enregistrements CDs et captations radiophoniques dans l'Europe entière, avec des ensembles tels que La Petite Bande, le Marini Consort Innsbruck, l'Orchestre des Champs- Élysées, Moderntimes_1800, Capriccio Stravagante, Weser-Renaissance ou Musica Fiata. Le travail d'Ercole Nisini a pour but de jouer et de revitaliser le répertoire pour trombone de la Renaissance à la période romantique

The stylistic elements of this repertoire require decisions regarding general pitch, temperament, and performing forces. Within the realm of performing forces lie questions about specific instrument pitch and compositional key centers. Limiting this study to repertoire performed and published in approximately the first half of the seventeenth century allows a focus on specific performance practice decisions that underline the expressive elements of the repertoire.

November 2009 (Christian Berzins - 2009.11.04) Von Muri in die Welt hinaus Dank dem Kirchenmusiker Johannes Strobl ist die Klosterkirche Muri wie selten zuvor ins Blickfeld der Musikfreunde geraten. Nun legt man zwei neue CDs vor Von Muri in die Welt hinaus Full review text restrained for copyright reasons. American Record Guide May-June 2010 (Barry Kilpatrick - 2010.05.01) Les Cornets Noirs (Black Cornettos) offers a program of 17th-Century Italian and German works that include striking examples of echo and response between instrumental groups or organs. Some of the composers are familiar (Salomone Rossi, Cesario Gussago, Dario Castello, Biagio Marini, Ludovico Grossi da Viadana, Giovanni Picchi, Alessandro Stradella, Samuel Scheidt) while others are less so (Dietrich Becker, Benedetto Re, Johann Sommer, Johann Staden). Cornetto players Gebhard David and Bork- Frithjof Smith, violinists Amandine Beyer and Cosimo Stawiarski, and bassoonist Adrian Rovatkay are excellent. Sackbut player Franck Poitrineau’s tone quality is quite nasal, something I disliked at first but grew to appreciate as interesting and unusual. The Basel, Switzerland-based, early-music ensemble performs in the Abbey of Muri, an ancient monastery with an elaborately decorated, 18th-Century church. Two Bossard organs from 1743 are heard here (complete specifications included, as well as registration codes for each piece). Some of the program’s most memorable pieces pit one organ against the other. The fine organists Markus Märkl and Johannes Strobl play Viadana’s ‘Sinfonia La Mantovana’ with penetrating tone and exuberant ornamentation.

Medieval images of Saint Cecilia and music The caccia Dappoi che ’l sole by Nicolò da Perugia appears to deploy the classic metaphor of fire to represent the sudden onset of courtly love. The object of passion is a lady whose name is carefully hidden inside a numerical senhal : CICILIA . But the scene of the fire and its extinction bears a strong similarity to the martyrdom of Saint Ceci lia as described in her Passio , in which the virgin remains unharmed by the flames of a Roman bath: thus, I argue that the piece celebrates not a woman, but a saint. This blend of meanings – a sacred theme disguised in the secular form of the Italian cacc ia – raises two hermeneutical issues.

  • Sonatas for Violin and Basso Continuo Written by British Composers in the First Half of the Eighteenth Century Ma
    SONATAS FOR VIOLIN AND BASSO CONTINUO WRITTEN BY BRITISH COMPOSERS IN THE FIRST HALF OF THE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY MAGDALENA KOSTKA Dissertation submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Cardiff University School of Music June 2014 ii Abstract The sonata for violin and basso continuo was one of the most popular instrumental genres in early eighteenth-century Europe, as is clearly evident from the numerous works by Italian, German and French composers of the period, whose contributions are widely known and documented. Violin sonatas by British-born composers of the period, on the other hand, have largely been neglected by scholars and performers and no systematic examination of this repertoire has thus far been conducted. The present thesis attempts to contextualise this rich and fascinating repertoire and view it holistically. It aims to contribute substantially to knowledge about the British violin sonata during the period and enhance our understanding of its function, content, dissemination and performance. Fifteen collections of sonatas for violin and continuo written by British-born composers in the first half of the eighteenth century have been selected for detailed analysis. These works have been examined from two different perspectives: as social phenomena and as aesthetic objects. Following relevant introductory materials contextualising the research, the first part of this thesis presents biographical accounts of the selected composers, their careers and musical environment, and the circumstances surrounding the publication and distribution of their sonatas. In Part II the sonatas under scrutiny are analysed in terms of their external designs and internal forms, tonal scope, and harmonic and melodic vocabulary, as well as their technical demands.

  • Introduction to Pieces by Giovanni Battista Riccio
    G. B. Riccio, 5 canzonas, Il primo and secondo libro delle divine lodi (1612, 1614), ed. N. M. Jensen, 2015 INTRODUCTION The Composer and the Music Giovanni Battista Riccio was active in Venetian musical life in the second decade of the seventeenth century. The dates of his birth and death are unknown, but in 1609 he was hired as an organist (and mentioned as a violinist) at the Scuola di San Giovanni Evangelista, and the third and last of his three books of Divine lodi accomodate per cantar nell’organo. A due voci. Con il suo basso continuo was published in 1620.1 The first of these came out in a second edition in 16122, and a second volume appeared in 1614; this is all the music that can be ascribed to Riccio for certain.3 Even if the three books chiefly contain religious vocal music, they also encompass Riccio’s instrumental works: no less than twenty canzonas and one sonata, so designated by the composer. Most of the pieces are a2 with basso continuo, and Riccio asks for a variety of melody instruments in his canzonas: flautino (i.e., recorder), cornetto, violino, trombone and fagotto (i.e., bassoon). He seems to have had relations with the influential Venetian patrician family Grimani, especially with the bishop and later patriarch Antonio Grimani, to whom he dedicated his second and third books of Divine lodi4 and he dedicated individual canzonas to Venetian colleagues such as Giacomo Finetti, Alessandro Grandi, Giovanni Battista Grillo and Giovanni Picchi. He was a composer and musician in Venice at the time of Giovanni Gabrieli, and Gabrieli’s influence upon Riccio’s canzona-style is obvious.
