  • A Note About the 'Baroque Double Bass' for Composers Working With
    A note about the 3baroque double bass4 for composers working with period instruments. For a variety of reasons, performers may present composers writing new music for period instruments with tunings some way removed from the likely historical options. Having sought advice from, or written for, a specific player, a composer may find that the part she/he has written does not transfer well to another performance with different personnel. Not all performers in period instrument ensembles are necessarily historical specialists; gut strings replacing metal on otherwise modern style instruments is not unknown. String bass instruments larger than modern violoncello size divide into 4 main categories: A. instruments of very great size [around 8)/244cm tall+ with limited technical possibilities used in a small geographical area in the early 17th century. B. /or 01 string viols larger than modern cello size that survived well into the 18th century, capable of playing unsimpli#ed bass lines at sounding pitch. C. 4 string instruments similar in size to B, more likely to be favoured where strong preference for violin family instruments prevailed. D. double basses around .)/182cm tall coming late to the party in the last quarter of the 17th century, with limited downward range and a variety of tuning possibilities; capable of more technical playing than group A but still well documented as simplifying the basso line in performance. A 2 D are octave transposing instruments like the modern double bass /31.) pitch4). B 2 C play at pitch /38) pitch41 and are smaller in size that instruments in category D. B instruments have sometimes been supposed to be octave transposing because of a bottom string /not always present1 lower than C2.

Baroque Instruments The Baroque Cello and Its Performance Marc Vanscheeuwijck The instrument we now call a cello (or violoncello) apparently deve- loped during the first decades of the 16th century from a combina- tion of various string instruments of popular European origin (espe- cially the rebecs) and the vielle. Although nothing precludes our hypothesizing that the bass of the violins appeared at the same time as the other members of that family, the earliest evidence of its existence is to be found in the treatises of Agricola,1 Gerle,2 Lanfranco,3 and Jambe de Fer.4 Also significant is a fresco (1540- 42) attributed to Giulio Cesare Luini in Varallo Sesia in northern Italy, in which an early cello is represented (see Fig. 1). 1 Martin Agricola, Musica instrumentalis deudsch (Wittenberg, 1529; enlarged 5th ed., 1545), f.

  • 'Dream Job: Next Exit?'
    Understanding Bach, 9, 9–24 © Bach Network UK 2014 ‘Dream Job: Next Exit?’: A Comparative Examination of Selected Career Choices by J. S. Bach and J. F. Fasch BARBARA M. REUL Much has been written about J. S. Bach’s climb up the career ladder from church musician and Kapellmeister in Thuringia to securing the prestigious Thomaskantorat in Leipzig.1 Why was the latter position so attractive to Bach and ‘with him the highest-ranking German Kapellmeister of his generation (Telemann and Graupner)’? After all, had their application been successful ‘these directors of famous court orchestras [would have been required to] end their working relationships with professional musicians [take up employment] at a civic school for boys and [wear] “a dusty Cantor frock”’, as Michael Maul noted recently.2 There was another important German-born contemporary of J. S. Bach, who had made the town’s shortlist in July 1722—Johann Friedrich Fasch (1688–1758). Like Georg Philipp Telemann (1681–1767), civic music director of Hamburg, and Christoph Graupner (1683–1760), Kapellmeister at the court of Hessen-Darmstadt, Fasch eventually withdrew his application, in favour of continuing as the newly- appointed Kapellmeister of Anhalt-Zerbst. In contrast, Bach, who was based in nearby Anhalt-Köthen, had apparently shown no interest in this particular vacancy across the river Elbe. In this article I will assess the two composers’ positions at three points in their professional careers: in 1710, when Fasch left Leipzig and went in search of a career, while Bach settled down in Weimar; in 1722, when the position of Thomaskantor became vacant, and both Fasch and Bach were potential candidates to replace Johann Kuhnau; and in 1730, when they were forced to re-evaluate their respective long-term career choices.

  • Julie Andrijeski's Cabinet of Wonders at Tregoning & Company (Nov
    Julie Andrijeski’s Cabinet of Wonders at Tregoning & Company (Nov. 12) by Nicholas Jones Cleveland-based Baroque violinist Julie Andrijeski, well-known to area audiences for her performances with Les Délices and Apollo’s Fire, premiered a new project on Saturday, November 12 in a lively concert at the Tregoning & Company gallery on West 78th Street. Surrounded by Giancarlo Calicchia’s striking sculptures, Andrijeski and friends performed fascinating works by neglected 17th-century European composers. With the support of a 2016 Creative Workforce Fellowship from the Community Partnership for Arts and Culture (funded by Cuyahoga Arts & Culture), Andrijeski is currently on research leave from her teaching and conducting duties at Case Western Reserve University. She is devoting her time to studying the enormous archive of early Baroque music for the violin, collections that are still for the most part unedited, and little performed. Spending time in this treasure trove of music, according to Andrijeski, is like visiting one of the strange cabinets of curiosities that scholars and collectors assembled in that time of scientific and artistic exploration. In such a “Wonder Chamber” — in German, a Wunderkammer — one might encounter such diverse specimens as a stuffed crocodile, a ​ nautilus shell, a neolithic axe, or a cloisonné bowl: things that fascinated and baffled the inquisitive minds of the times. A sense of discovery was evident throughout the evening. While the composers included some familiar names, such as Dieterich Buxtehude and Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck, we also heard pieces by the little-known German Johann Schop (ca. 1590-1667) and the Austrian violinist Johann Heinrich Schmeltzer (ca.

Bach SYMPHONY NO. 5 in D minor Mendelssohn FEATURING Patrick Clark, Artistic Director and Conductor Christine Jarquio Nichols, Vocal Director JEFFERSON CITY, MISSOURI NOVEMBER 3, 2017, 7:00 pm The Reformation, the German Southside, and Central United Church of Christ When German immigrants began arriving in Jefferson City in the 1840s, Catholic families settled west of St. Peter Church, and Refor- mation Protestant families settled on the south side of Wear’s Creek, creating a neighborhood now called Munichburg. These Protestant immigrants bought land for a church in 1850 and organized and built Central Church in 1858. They formed a congregation open to all German-speaking Protestants, regardless of creed or confession. The congregation’s name in the first constitution (1858) was Evangelical Central Congregation. “Evangelical” refers to the Good News of the gospel. It was a “union” congregation open to all German Protestants. Three Protestant tradi- tions converged: Lutheran (from Luther), Reformed (from Zwingli and Calvin), and Evangelical. The Evangelical denomination was formed when the Prussian ruler united the Lutheran and Reformed churches on October 31, 1817, the 300th anniversary of the Reformation. Since Prussian immigrants dominated the young congregation, Central saw itself an Evangelical church, a united and uniting church for Protestants. It recognized several confessions and catechisms insofar as they agreed, and respected individual conscience where they differed. Shortly after the Civil War, Lutherans who recognized only the Augsburg Confes- sion and Luther’s catechism as the sole creed arising from the Reformation withdrew from the Evangelical Central congregation and joined many more Lutherans who had never participated in the union congregation.

  • The Church Fathers' Spiritual Interpretation of the Psalms
    4 The Church Fathers’ Spiritual Interpretation of the Psalms Hans Boersma he world of the church fathers may seem far removed from our Teveryday lives. In some respects, that is indeed the case. It would be foolish to try to appropriate their writings into our theological and cultural contexts without taking into account the many centuries that separate us from the Fathers. Despite the obvious developments and changes that have taken place since the patristic era, however, there is an underlying commonality that links faithful biblical interpretation today with the exegetical endeavors of the early church. Over the past number of years, there has been a growing recognition of the shortcomings of historical critical exegesis and, as a result, an increasing appreciation for the church fathers and their spiritual or theological interpretation of the Bible.1 In this essay, I will focus on three theological concerns that we, along with the Fathers, may continue to bring to bear on our reading of the book of Psalms. In particular, I am thinking of (1) the Psalms’ focus on the harmonious virtue of the person who sings them, (2) the Psalms’ christological focus, and (3) the need to appropriate the Psalms in a personal manner. I want to preface my analysis, however, by recognizing with grati- tude that, long before I started reading the church fathers, I encountered 1.
