We are pleased that you are joining us to share in this celebration of the beautiful and inspiring music of J. S. Bach and his contempo- raries. This year, the oldest collegiate Bach Festival in the country celebrates Christmas a few months early with our performance of the Christmas Oratorio on Saturday. We’re happy to welcome back our soloists, Tamara Matthews, Marietta Simpson, Benjamin Butterfield, and Christophèren Nomura, all of whom have shared their exceptional talents with us in past Bach Festivals. This year we also welcome two chamber ensembles for their first perfor- mances at our festival. Chatham Baroque, which focuses on 17th- and 18th-century music, hails from nearby Pittsburgh, but their music has been heard throughout the country. Closer to home, CO5 and Friends, a quintet of Cleveland Orchestra musicians who performed for our FOCUS Festival last fall, makes their first Bach Festival appearance at Baldwin-Wallace College. As always, we welcome and thank our loyal patrons, subscribers, guests, benefactors and external partners who help to keep this exceptional event alive and growing. Since Albert and Selma Riemenschneider established the Festival in 1932, generations of music lovers from Berea, greater Cleveland, and beyond have enjoyed the beauty and grandeur of the great works of Bach. We welcome you to the 2009 Bach Festival and are pleased that you’ve chosen to be a part of this wonderful tradition. Warm regards, Dick Durst President 77th Annual Bach Festival 5 Best Wishes for a Successful Bach Festival! We’re one of Baldwin-Wallace’s Preferred Hotels!

    Biography The tenor Marcus Ullmann was born in Olbernhau near Dresden. He started singing as a member of the famous Dresden Kreuzchor at the age of ten, thereafter studying with Hartmut Zabel and Margret Trappe-Wiel at the Hochschule für Musik in Dresden. Later he studied with Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau in Berlin and with Marga Schiml in Karlsruhe. Graduating with distinction, he soon was a guest singer at the German Opera Houses Staatstheater Mainz and Semperoper Dresden. The following engagements included roles at the Teatro La Fenice, Opera House Rome, Teatro Communale Firence and Los Angeles Opera. He also appeared as Nero in Monteverdi's "L'incoronazione di Poppea" at the Boston Early Music Festival. He has performed as a concert singer widely throughout Europe, in North and South America, in Africa and in Japan. Conductors with whom he has worked in a range of repertoire include Frieder Bernius, Ivor Bolton, Riccardo Chailly, Marcus Creed, Enoch zu Guttenberg, Ludwig Güttler, Sigiswald Kuijken, Kent Nagano, Hans- Christoph Rademann, Helmuth Rilling and Peter Schreier. He often sang with the Dresden Kreuzchor, the Windsbach Knabenchor and the Thomanerchor Leipzig. As a recitalist, Marcus Ullmann has been a guest at such festivals as the Schubertiade Schwarzenberg, the European Music Festival Stuttgart, Kuhmo in Finland, the West Cork Chamber Music Festival, the Moritzburg Chamber Music Festival and many others both in Germany and internationally. In the summer of 2012 he performed Dvorak`s „Cypresses“ at the Salzburger Festspiele with great success.

    The Musical Heritage of the Lutheran Church Volume I Edited by Theodore Hoelty-Nickel Valparaiso, Indiana The greatest contribution of the Lutheran Church to the culture of Western civilization lies in the field of music. Our Lutheran University is therefore particularly happy over the fact that, under the guidance of Professor Theodore Hoelty-Nickel, head of its Department of Music, it has been able to make a definite contribution to the advancement of musical taste in the Lutheran Church of America. The essays of this volume, originally presented at the Seminar in Church Music during the summer of 1944, are an encouraging evidence of the growing appreciation of our unique musical heritage. O. P.

In 1953 the collection of Dr. Albert Riemenschneider was donated to the University by his wife, Selma. Sixteen years later, Dr. Warren Scharf, then director of the Conservatory, and Dr.

    SENSITIVITY, INSPIRATION, AND RATIONAL AESTHETICS: EXPERIENCING MUSIC IN THE NORTH GERMAN ENLIGHTENMENT Kimary E. Fick, B.M., M.M. Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY University of North Texas December 2015 APPROVED: Hendrik Schulze, Major Professor Peter Mondelli, Committee Member Christoph Weber, Committee Member Paul Leenhouts, Related Field Committee Member and Director of Early Music Studies Benjamin Brand, Director of Graduate Studies, College of Music James Scott, Dean of College of Music Costas Tsatsoulis, Dean of Toulouse Graduate School Fick, Kimary E. Sensitivity, Inspiration, and Rational Aesthetics: Experiencing Music in the North German Enlightenment. Doctor of Philosophy (Musicology), December 2015, 295 pp., 2 tables, 3 figures, 19 musical examples, references, 166 titles. This dissertation examines pre-Kantian rational philosophy and the development of the discipline of aesthetics in the North German Enlightenment. With emphasis on the historical conception of the physiological and psychological experience of music, this project determines the function of music both privately and socially in the eighteenth century. As a result, I identify the era of rational aesthetics (ca.1750-1800) as a music-historical period unified by the aesthetic function and metaphysical experience of music, which inform the underlying motivation for musical styles, genres, and means of expression, leading to a more meaningful and compelling historical periodization. The philosophy of Alexander Baumgarten, Johann Georg Sulzer, and others enable definitions of the experience of beautiful objects and those concepts related to music composition, listening, and taste, and determine how rational aesthetics impacted the practice, function, and ultimately the prevailing style of music in the era.

    THINKING IN SONG Prosody, Text-Setting and Music Theory in Eighteenth-Century Germany A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Martin Kuester January 2012 © 2012 Martin Kuester THINKING IN SONG Prosody, Text-Setting and Music Theory in Eighteenth-Century Germany Martin Kuester, Ph.D. Cornell University 2012 Eighteenth-century music theorists habitually used terms that were apparently im- ported from grammar, rhetoric and poetics. While historians of music theory have commonly described these words as reflecting metaphorical attempts to understand music by analogy with language, this study emphasizes their technical value, especially with respect to vocal music, which includes both domains. In the case of Johann Mat- theson, Johann Adolph Scheibe, Joseph Riepel and Friedrich Wilhelm Marpurg, the literal meaning of this common vocabulary can be recovered by viewing their general composition rules���������������������� in the previously une�amined������������ conte��������������������������������t of their theories for compos- ing te�t and music of vocal works. Chapter One questions the applicability of a ‘metaphor of music as a language’ to eighteenth-century musical thought and proposes a new framework, centered on what Scheibe and others considered �����������������������������������������������the origin of both music and language, prosody. Chapter Two e�amines Mattheson’s famous minuet analysis and concludes that a prosodic sub-discipline of music theory provided a vocabulary that applied, in ten- dency, to words and notes of vocal music, simultaneously. Chapter Three traces the interaction of prosodic parameters in the longer history of ‘musical feet,’ pointing out eighteenth-century theorists’ successful efforts to adapt or re-adapt their terminol- ogy to the practice of modern vocal composition.
