The program, designed by the late Carl Crosier, was performed in his memory in Honolulu and Kealakekua. Appreciative audiences inspired us to reprise the theme with secular music this season. Happily, it coincides with the 4th centenary of William Shakespeare’s death in April 1616, and the songs from the Bard’s plays, then and now, feature exclusively in the second half of the program. But there are many other love songs from 16th century Europe based on great poetry which we wished to share at the same time; they occupy the first half of this program. Petrarch and The Song of Songs Francesco Petrarca was the first great poet of the Renaissance in 14th century Italy. While studying in Avignon, he first saw Laura, a young married beauty. She inspired him with a passion which has become proverbial for its constancy and purity - she may not even have known of his existence. More than 350 sonnets, the Canzionere, were addressed to her and inspired a multitude of 16th century Italian madrigal composers — and many others since. Baldassare Donato’s lovely setting of Sonnet #156, I vidi in terra, opens the program. In the 19th century, Franz Liszt was also taken by Petrarch’s passion and composed his own songs for Petrarch’s Laura, including I vidi. Luca Marenzio was a more famous 16th century composer of both secular and sacred madrigals. His setting of another Petrarch sonnet, Io piango, is paired with a similar text by the poet Ruffo set by one of today’s most prolific American composers, Morten Lauridsen, in a series titled Six “Fire Songs” on Italian Renaissance Poems. While it is from the Old Testament, The Song of Songs is one of the most evocative love songs of all time. It was immensely popular with 16th century Italian madrigalists as an opportunity to introduce their love poetry legitimately to church services. To this day, composers have followed their example. Claudio Monteverdi’s Nigra sum—I am dark but comely was included in his Vespers of 1610 and is paired with a beautiful setting for a trio of women by the 20th century giant Pablo Casals. The extended text of The Rose of Sharon is an irresistibly bright finale by William Billings, the self-taught Boston tanner who led the popular movement of the 18th century Singing Schools which defined a new genre of distinctively American music, from folk hymns to gospel songs and psalm tunes. Songs from Shakespeare’s Plays Scholastic discussions surrounding the significance of music in Shakespeare’s plays abound. He was no musician but, with his deep understanding of popular culture, he used the tunes and verses every spectator would have known by heart to illuminate characters, changing scenes, magic interventions and atmosphere. More than 100 songs, snatches of or references to songs are scattered through the plays. Few 3 contemporary composers are known to have produced original music because the audience would have known the tunes already. Three popular exceptions included in today’s program include Thomas Morley’s O Mistress Mine (Twelfth Night) and Robert Johnson’s Where the Bee Sucks and Full Fathom Five (The Tempest). The most popular tune recognized today, Greensleeves, enjoys only a passing reference in The Merry Wives of Windsor. William Cornysh’s Ah Robin is also a reference, from nearly a century earlier, to Robin Goodfellow, alias the fairies’ agent Puck in A Midsummer Night’s Dream. All of the original songs are quite short. Where direct compositions do not exist, we have used the ones identified by the expert Ross Duffin in his huge volume, Shakespeare’s Songbook. Composers throughout the ages have delighted in recreating music for Shakespeare —in opera, theater, incidental music, individual songs and arrangements. Ralph Vaughan Williams has recreated the busy, errand-running Puck in Over Hill, Over Dale and the mysterious appeal of Ariel in Full Fathom Five. George Shearing captures the gentle envy of Julia in Two Gentlemen of Verona with Who is Silvia? Matt Harris, a popular 21st century composer in New York, has (so far) published 24 songs in five Shakespeare volumes for ensemble performance. The clown Feste tailors O Mistress Mine to suit the carefree character of Toby and Andrew in Twelfth Night, and Mariana’s brooding over her betrayal in Take, O Take Those Lips Away from Measure for Measure. However you care to interpret Shakespeare’s intent, please enjoy today’s short selection of music for its own sake. Ian Capps, The Early Muse, Hawaii Public Radio Texts (Italian and Latin texts in English translation only) I vidi in terra I saw on earth angelic qualities and heavenly beauties unique in the world, so that the memory pleases and pains me, for whatever I look on seems dreams, shadows and smoke. And I saw those two beautiful lights weeping that have a thousand times made the sun envious; and I heard amid sighs words that would make mountains move and rivers stand still. Love, wisdom, worth, piety and sorrow made, weeping, a sweeter music than any other to be heard in the world; and the heavens were so intent upon the harmony that no leaf on any branch was seen to move, so much sweetness filled the air and the wind. 4 Io Piango (Petrarch) I weep and she dries my face with her hand, and then she sighs sweetly and speaks words that might shatter stone; and afterwards departs, along with sleep. (Ruffo) I weep, for the grief makes me cry, since I can find no other remedy for my fire. So trapped by love am I that ever I lie in torment, but the more I cry the less pain I feel. What cruel, unheard of fate that silence gives me death and weeping life! Nigra sum I am dark but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem. Therefore the King hath loved me and hath brought me into his chamber and said unto me: “Rise up, my love, and come away; for lo, the winter is past, the rains are over and gone; the flowers appear in our land, the time of pruning is at hand.” Ego flos campi (Clemens and Billings) I am the rose of Sharon and the lily of the valley. As the lily among the thorns, so is my love among the daughters. As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons. (Billings continues) I sat down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste. He brought me to the banqueting house, his banner over me was Love. Stay me with flagons, comfort me with apples, for I am sick of Love. I charge you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes and by the hinds of the field, that you stir not up nor awake my love till he please. The voice of my beloved; behold, he cometh, leaping upon the mountains, skipping upon the hills. My beloved spake, and said unto me: “Rise up, my fair one, and come away; for lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone.” Ah, Robin Ah, Robin, gentle Robin, tell me how thy lemman (lover) doth and thou shall know of mine. My lady is unkind, I wis (know); alack, why is she so? She loveth another better than me and yet she will say no. I cannot think (understand) such doubleness, for I find women true. In faith, my lady loves me well; she will change for no new.

  • The Transcriber's Art – #51 Josquin
    The Transcriber’s Art – #51 Josquin des Prez by Richard Yates “Take Five. There's a certain piece that if we don’t play, we’re in trouble.” —Dave Brubek It was a familiar situation: deep in the stacks, surrounded by ancient scores, browsing for music that might find artful expression through the guitar. Perusing pages of choral music, I was suddenly struck by the realization that what I was doing was precisely what lutenists 400 years ago had done. While not exactly déjà vu, there was a strong sense of threading my way along paths first explored centuries ago. And if I was struggling with this source material, did they also? What solutions did they find and what tricks did they devise? What can we learn from them to help solve the puzzle of intabulating Renaissance vocal polyphony? The 16th century saw the gradual evolution of musical ideals that culminated in the works of Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina (1525–94). Polyphonic music was to be a smooth, effortless flow of independent voices. Predominant stepwise movement emphasized continuity of individual lines but without drawing undue attention to any particular one. Dissonance was largely confined to the weak beats and passing tones or softened through suspensions. With its unique capacity for continuous modulation of timbre, pitch and volume, the human voice was exquisitely suited to this style. The articulation of syllables, true legato and subtle, unobtrusive portamento that connects phonemes and that is inherent in singing all facilitated the tracking of voices through a closely woven texture. Renaissance choral music is inextricably bound up with, and dependent on, the qualities of human voice.

As the smallest unit in the ecclesiastical hierarchy, the parish was the level on which Christians practiced and experienced religion on a daily basis. From an administrative point of view, parishes were defined as territorial entities, but they were in fact constituted by the com- munity of its inhabitants, especially in smaller towns or rural areas. Parishioners – the churchwardens among them – had the respon- sibility to care for their weakest neighbors and contribute to the maintenance of the religious infrastructure. Such commitments often ‘fostered a sense of belonging and ownership in the parish community’.1 Its material exponent was the parish church, often the largest stone building, and both literally and figuratively the center of the town. The church was the framework for the proper adminis- tration of the sacraments. Key moments in parishioners’ lives were ritually celebrated here (fig. 80), from baptism of new-born children and their subsequent confirmation and participation in commu- nion at Mass, over marriage, to funeral rites and burial after having received the last rites by the parish priest.2 The stories chaplain Munters recorded in his diary show that, during the sixteenth century, many of these communal rites of pas- sage were subjected to great pressure. Protestants started question- ing and taunting not just religious images, pilgrimages and miracles, but also the core elements of the parish liturgy.

  • Antonio De Cabeçon (Castrillo Mota De Judíos 1510 – Madrid 1566)
    Antonio de Cabeçon (Castrillo Mota de Judíos 1510 – Madrid 1566) Comiençan las canciones glosadas y motetes a quatro Fol. 69 – 104 from : Obras de Musica para Tecla, Arpa y Vihuela Madrid 1578 15 pieces in 4 voices and 3 pieces in 3 voices transcribed for keyboard instrument and harp and arranged for recorders or other instruments by Arnold den Teuling Keyboard instrument or harp 2016 Introduction to the edition of the remaining part of Antonio de Cabezón’s Obras de Musica para Tecla, Arpa y Vihuela, Madrid 1578 Hernando de Cabeçon (Madrid 1541-Valladolid 1602), as he spelled his name, published his father’s works in 1578, despite the year 1570 on the title page. The royal privilege for publication bears the date 1578 on the page which also contains the “erratas”. The Obras contain an extensive and very useful introduction in unnumbered pages, followed by 200 folio’s of printed music, superscribed in the upper margin “Compendio de Musica / de Antonio de Cabeçon.” A facsimile is in IMSLP. The first editor Felipe Pedrell (1841-1922), Hispaniae Schola Musica Sacra, Vols.3, 4, 7, 8, Barcelona: Juan Pujol & C., 1895-98, did not provide a complete edition, but a little more than half of it. He also gives an extensive introduction in Spanish and French. This edition may be found in IMSLP too. Pedrell stopped his complete edition after folio 68 (of 200), and made a selection of remaining works. He mostly passed over the intabulations of works of other composers, apparently objecting a lack of originality to them. Later editors mostly contented themselves with reprinting parts of Pedrell‘s work, possibly with corrections, and optical adaptation to modern use.

  • Tempesta Di Passaggi Andrea Inghisciano María González
    Solo music for cornetto I Cavalieri del Cornetto Tempesta di passaggi Andrea Inghisciano María González English ⁄ Deutsch ⁄ Italiano ⁄ Tracklist Menu Tempest of passages by Andrea Inghisciano In Italy, the cornett reached the peak of its splendor in the period from around the middle of the 16th century to the middle of the 17th century. During this era, treatises to study the improvisation of passages, or divisions, began to be printed. The first of these was the Opera Intitulata Fontegara by Silvestro Ganassi (Venice, 1535), and the last was the Selva de varii passaggi by Francesco Rognoni (Milan, 1620). These divisions were variations used by instrumentalists and singers to enrich a me- lodic line, most frequently the cantus line, and depending on their quantity and quality, they could simply ornament a song or change it so much that it could have almost been unrecognizable. The ability to improvise was highly requested and there were several cornett players who excelled in this art, for example Girolamo Dalla Casa, who, in his treatise Il vero modo 2 di diminuir (Venice 1584) presents a method which he defines as “mixed divisions”, made of crome, semicrome, triplicate and quadruplicate (8, 16, 24, 32 notes for semibreve), sur- prised by the fact that many musicians would, in fact, omit these last two essential figures: “And indeed was I surprised, and still in my soul there is great astonishment, that so many excellent musicians, who have written, have never dealt with the croma and semicroma, and have never dealt with the other two figures, the treplicate, which are 24 per bar and the quadruplicate, which are 32 per bar, with these being so necessary in the divisions, that you couldn’t do without them: because mixed diminishing is true diminishing, I am referring to the four figures croma, semicroma, treplicate, and quadruplicate”.
